MANAGEMENT
5.1 Introduction
Ethernet‐based Remote Product Management is available through the ODM/R‐840 ‘ETHERNET
T/M’ 10/100/1000 BaseT Gigabit Ethernet RJ‐45 Traffic and Management Interface port.
1. TO PROCEED WITH ETHERNET‐BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT (SNMP
OR WEB SERVER), ASSUMPTIONS ARE MADE THAT:
• The ODM/R‐840 is operating with the latest version firmware files.
• The ODM/R‐840 is connected to a user‐supplied, Windows‐based PC, and:
o The PC serial port is connected to the ODM/R‐840 ‘CONSOLE/
REDUNDANCY’ port with a user‐supplied 19‐pin‐to‐9‐pin serial adapter
cable.
o The PC Ethernet port is connected to the ODM/R‐840 ‘ETHERNET T/M’
port with the available outdoor Ethernet cable, either directly or with a
user‐supplied hub or switch.
o The user PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of
the ODM/R‐840 Serial Command Line Interface) and a compatible Web
browser (for operation of the ODM‐840 Web Server Interface).
• The ODM/R‐840 Management IP Address has been noted using the
ODM/R‐840 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
ODM‐840 WEB SERVER INTERFACE FOR MONITOR AND CONTROL (M&C) OF THE
ODM/R‐840.
