7.1.1 Ethernet Management Interface Protocols
Ethernet-based remote monitor and control (M&C) of the CDM-760 is available via the User PC
through three separately-operated non-secure protocols:
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This interface requires a user-supplied
Network Management System (NMS) and a user-supplied Management Information Base
(MIB) File Browser.
• Telnet Interface. This interface is accessible using Windows Command-line, or requires that you
install a user-supplied terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) on the User PC.
• HTTP (Web Server) Interface. This interface requires a compatible user-supplied web browser
such as Internet Explorer.
7.2 SNMP Interface
Use of the Ethernet-based SNMP interface is recommended only for advanced users.
All other users are strongly encouraged to use the HTTP (Web Server) Interface for
monitor and control of the CDM-760.
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol for
managing devices on IP networks. An SNMP-managed network consists of three key
components:
• The managed device. This includes the CDM-760 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem.
• The SNMP Agent. This is the software that runs on the CDM-760. The CDM-760 SNMP Agent
supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
• The user-supplied Network Management System (NMS). This is the software that runs on
the manager.
