Chapter 5. ETHERNET-BASED
REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT
5.1 Introduction
Ethernet‐based Remote Product Management of the CDM‐800 Gateway Router is available
using the rear panel ‘FE’ RJ‐45 10/100 BaseT Fast Ethernet M&C port.
1. TO PROCEED WITH ETHERNET‐BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT (SNMP
OR WEB SERVER), ASSUMPTIONS ARE MADE THAT:
• The CDM‐800 is operating with the latest version firmware files.
• The CDM‐800 is connected to a user‐supplied, Windows‐based PC as follows:
o The PC serial port is connected to the CDM‐800 rear panel ‘CONSOLE’
port with a user‐supplied serial cable.
o The PC Ethernet port is connected to the CDM‐800 rear panel ‘FE’
10/100 BaseT Ethernet port with a user‐supplied hub, switch, or direct
Ethernet cable connection.
o The user PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of
the CDM‐800 Serial Command Line Interface) and a compatible Web
browser (for operation of the CDM‐800 Web Server Interface).
• The CDM‐800 Management IP Address has been noted using the CDM‐800
Serial Command Line Interface (CLI).
2. USE OF THE ETHERNET‐BASED SNMP INTERFACE IS RECOMMENDED ONLY FOR
ADVANCED USERS. ALL OTHER USERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO USE THE
CDM‐800 WEB SERVER INTERFACE FOR MONITOR AND CONTROL (M&C) OF THE
CDM‐800.
