Chapter 4. ETHERNET-BASED
REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT
4.1 Introduction
Ethernet remote monitor and control (M&C) of the LPOD-R PS .5 is available through its
100BaseT/10BaseTx Ethernet Management Interface by connecting the User PC Ethernet port to
the J6 | COM1 RJ-45 port on the LPOD-R.
Three protocols are available to use for Ethernet remote M&C. Operate these protocols
separately.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This requires a user-supplied Network
Management System (NMS) and a user-supplied Management Information Base (MIB) File
Browser.
• Telnet Interface. This requires use of the User PC’s Command line interface, or a user-
supplied terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal.
• Web Server (HTTP) Interface. This requires a compatible user-supplied web browser such as
Internet Explorer.
