Chapter 7. ETHERNET-BASED
REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT
7.1 Introduction
Ethernet-based remote product management of the ‘parent/host’ CTOG-250 Comtech Traffic
Optimization Gateway chassis and its ‘child’ CDM-800 Gateway Router (referred to hereafter as
the simply as the CTOG-250) is available using the CTOG-250’s chassis back panel ‘MGMT-1’
RJ-45 10/100/1000 BaseT Gigabit Ethernet M&C port.
1. TO PROCEED WITH ETHERNET-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT (SNMP
OR WEB SERVER), ASSUMPTIONS ARE MADE THAT:
• The CTOG-250 and its CDM-800 Gateway Router are interconnected and are
operating with the latest version firmware files.
• The CTOG-250 is connected to a user-supplied, Windows-based PC as follows:
o The PC serial port connects to the CTOG-250 back panel ‘SERIAL’ port with
a user-supplied serial cable.
o The PC Ethernet port connects to the CTOG-250 back panel ‘MGMT-1’
10/100/1000 BaseT Gigabit 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
CTOG-250 Serial Interface) and a compatible Web browser (for operation
of the CTOG-350 Web Server Interface).
• The CTOG-250 Management IP Address has been noted using the CTOG-250
Serial Interface (CLI).
2. USE OF THE SNMP INTERFACE IS RECOMMENDED ONLY FOR ADVANCED USERS.
ALL OTHER USERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO USE THE CTOG-250 WEB
SERVER INTERFACE FOR REMOTE MONITOR AND CONTROL (M&C).
