REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT
6.1 Introduction
Ethernet-based remote management and control of the CPA ISSPA is available using the rear
panel ‘J8 | 10/100 ETHERNET’ port.
1. TO PROCEED WITH ETHERNET-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT,
ASSUMPTIONS ARE MADE THAT:
• The CPA is operating with the latest version firmware files.
• The CPA is connected to a user-supplied Windows-based PC as follows:
o The PC’s serial port is connected to the CPA rear panel ‘J6 | COM1’
port with a user-supplied serial cable.
o The PC’s Ethernet port is connected to the CPA rear panel ‘J8 |10/100
ETHERNET’ port with a user-supplied hub, switch, or direct Ethernet
cable connection.
o The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the
ISSPA Telnet or serial remote control interface) and a compatible web
browser (for operation of the ISSPA Web Server Interface).
• The CPA’s Management IP Address has been noted using the CPA Front
Panel.
2. USE OF THE ETHERNET-BASED SNMP INTERFACE IS RECOMMENDED
ONLY FOR ADVANCED USERS. ALL OTHER USERS ARE STRONGLY
ENCOURAGED TO USE THE ISSPA WEB SERVER INTERFACE FOR
REMOTE MONITOR AND CONTROL (M&C) OF THE CPA.
