Chapter 6. ETHERNET-BASED
REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT
6.1 Introduction
Ethernet-based Remote Product Management of the CDD-56X Satellite Demodulator with IP
Module is available using the rear panel RJ-45 10/100 BaseT Ethernet M&C port. This chapter
summarizes the functionality of this interface and references other chapters for further details.
6.2 Ethernet Management Interface Protocols
A user-supplied PC facilitates access to Ethernet-based remote monitor and control (M&C) of the
CDD-56X through three separately-operated protocols:
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This requires a user-supplied Network
Management System (NMS) and a user-supplied Management Information Base (MIB)
File Browser.
• The Telnet Interface. This requires use of the CDM-625 Command-Line Interface (CLI),
which is accessed via a user-supplied terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal,
installed on the user PC.
• The CDD-56X HTTP (Web Server) Interface. This requires a compatible user-supplied
web browser such as Internet Explorer.
6.3 SNMP Interface
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 CDD-56X Demodulator with IP Module.
