MDX420 SkyWire™ Satellite Network Gateway SkyWire Controller (GUI)
MN-MDX420 Revision 6 7–36
7.7 Defining User Access Controls (SNMPv3)
Once the SkyWire gateway parameters have been established, the administrator can determine
user access controls. Defining and establishing access controls allows the administrator to limit
user access to the gateway and the network. Limiting access ensures that network parameters
are not arbitrarily placed into unauthorized users. When SNMPv3 is selected, the administrator
can assign access privileges to users. They may be configured as Viewers, Operators or Users
with administrative access.
Note: Setting up SNMP V3 administrative controls can be done during initial setup of the Network.
7.7.1 Setup Terminal Access parameters
Prior to configuring the User Access Control on the SkyWire Configuration Controller software
(SkyWire Controller), the administrator must configure the Group Access setting in the SNMP
Terminal screens. Refer to Figure 7.7.1. The SNMP Version 3 Terminal screen parameters must
be set up first in order to allow access to the gateway with the SkyWire Controller. SNMP
Terminal parameters and SkyWire Controller parameters must match. Refer to Section 6 for
additional information on accessing the Service port terminal screens.
The gateway is shipped with SNMP Control factory default parameters per Table 7.7.1.
There are three user "Groups" that determine access type for each user. These groups include
ADMIN, OPER or VIEWER. Administrator must configure parameters for each group.
VIEWER: Allows the user to view the gateway status. There is no access to Gateway ID or
network data.
OPERA: Allows the user to view the link status and limited parameter controls. No access to
Gateway ID.
ADMIN: Full access and control to all menus within the Network.
