Chapter 4. DEVICE MANAGEMENT
VIA USER INTERFACES
4.1 Introduction
Management of the MR-S2 is simple and intuitive. There are a variety of ways to configure and
manage the MR-S2:
•
Web Interface via a LAN-based Desktop Browser
•
Terminal Interface via direct connection to a PC’s asynchronous serial port
•
Telnet Interface via a LAN
•
TFTP for remote terminal upgrades
•
SNMP Private MIB and MIB II
•
Vload (software application allowing configuration changes to remote receivers)
4.2 Web Interface
The Web Interface, operating under standard HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP), is used to
communicate with and command the MR-S2 via a HyperText Markup Language-based Graphical
User Interface (GUI). To utilize the Web Interface, a LAN connection must exist between the PC
with a browser and the MR-S2.
The CMR-5975 requires that the user to be authenticated via login before the configuration can
be viewed or modified. After a period of inactivity, the user will automatically be logged out, and
must log in again to resume.
Once a valid IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway have been entered into the MR-S2,
activate a browser on the desktop. Enter the IP address for the MR-S2 into the URL field as
shown in Figure 4-1. If the port number has been modified from the standard 80 via the
Terminal Interface, then the port number must be appended with a colon to the IP address.
