Chapter 8. ETHERNET-BASED
REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT
8.1 Overview
Ethernet-based remote product management of the ‘parent/host’ CRS-500 1:N Redundancy
System and its ‘child’ Redundant and Traffic Modems is available using the ‘10/100 M&C’ RJ-45
port located on the CSU rear panel CRS-530 System Controller Module.
1. To proceed with Ethernet-based Remote Product Management (SNMP, Telnet, or
Web Server (HTTP) Interface), assumptions are made that:
• The CRS-500 and its Redundant and Traffic Modems are interconnected and
are operating with the latest version firmware files.
• A user-supplied, Windows-based PC is connected to the CRS-500 as follows:
o
The user PC serial port is connected with a user-supplied serial cable to
the ‘P1 | Remote Control’ DB-9M port located on the CSU rear panel
CRS-530 System Controller Module.
o
The user PC Ethernet port is connected via a user-supplied hub, switch, or
direct Ethernet CAT5 cable connection to the CRS-500.
o
The user PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of
the CRS-500 Serial or Telnet Interface) and a compatible Web browser
(for operation of the CRS-500 Web Server Interface).
o
The CRS-5000 Management IP Address has been noted using the CRS-500
Serial Interface or CRS-500 Web Server Interface.
2. USE OF THE SNMP INTERFACE IS RECOMMENDED ONLY FOR ADVANCED USERS.
ALL OTHER USERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO USE THE CRS-500 FRONT
PANEL FOR LOCAL MONITOR AND CONTROL (M&C) OR THE CRS-500 WEB
SERVER INTERFACE FOR REMOTE M&C OF THE CRS-500 1:N REDUNDANCY
SYSTEM.
