CMR-5940 Digicast Media Router PID Filter RS-422

Revision A

Device Management via User Interfaces

MN/PIDFILDC4.IOM

To modify code via Telnet:

Step

Procedure

Start up Solarwinds TFTP server – Ensure configuration as described
previously

Ensure that the code provided by CEFD is located in the TFTP Root
directory

Start up Telnet client and initiate a session with the CMR-5940 as
described in the Telnet Interface section

4 Select

‘A’ for Administration

5 Select

‘D’ for Download

6 Enter

‘1’ for Application code or ‘2’ for FPGA code (the user will be

directed to select Application or FPGA code in the download
instructions provided by CEFD when new code is provided)

Enter the IP address of the TFTP server and wait for the message
“Upgrade complete. Press any key to continue”

This code modification process can also be conducted via the Web Interface, under the
Administration page, or the Terminal Interface under the Main Menu.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) (Future)

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) has not been enabled on this product and
is planned as a future release. However, when enabled, SNMP allows an SNMP Manager
such as OpenView or Castle Rock to be used to remotely manage the CMR-5940 in an
automated fashion.

The CMR-5940 supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2). Two types of
Management Information Bases (MIBs) are supported: MIB II and private MIB.

MIB II is the default MIB that is used to gather generic information about the unit, such
as system ‘up’ time, packets sent or received on an interface, etc. MIB II is designed for
only read access, not write access. To read and write configuration parameters over
SNMP requires a private MIB. The CMR-5940’s private MIB allows parameters that
can be set on the Web, Terminal, or Telnet interfaces.

Under heavy traffic conditions, the TFTP transfer may take several
minutes. The transfer process reported by Solarwinds may show greater
than 100% transferred, but this is a normal condition. Be patient and
allow the transfer to take place.

IMPORTANT

The elements Object Identifiers (OIDs) of the MIB will be listed in the appendix of a
future revision of this manual. CEFD has been assigned an SNMP designator by the
IEEE, which will be found in all elements of the CMR-5940’s MIB.

NOTE

The assigned designator for CEFD (enterprise OID) is 1.3.6.4.1.18723.
