Ethernet Management Interface Protocols

The user PC facilitates access to Ethernet-based remote monitor and control (M&C) of the

MBT-5000 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.

Telnet Interface. This requires use of the user PC’s Command-line interface, or a user-supplied

terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal.

MBT-5000 HTTP (Web Server) Interface. This requires a compatible user-supplied Web

browser such as Internet Explorer.

For SNMP, Telnet, or HTTP operation, the MBT-5000 must be configured with the

Ethernet control option. Via the front panel, select CONFIG: Remote Control

Ethernet. See Chapter 5. FRONT PANEL OPERATION for further information.
