Figure 7-2 SNMP Modem Manager Properties
There are three settable parameters in the SNMP Modem Manager
Properties—the Status Poll Interval, the SNMP Timeout, and the SNMP
Attempts. They are described below.
• Status Poll Interval – The time, in minutes, between full status polls
sent by the VMS to monitor the health (alarm states) and parameter
settings for the modems.
• SNMP Timeout – The amount of time, in seconds, before the VMS
will retry a poll or SNMP command after no reply.
• SNMP Attempts – The total number of attempts the VMS will make to
communicate with a modem before reaching a fail state, at which point
the VMS will set the modem status indicator to gray (unknown).
Configure SNMP Modem
The following procedure demonstrates using the SNMP Modem Manager to
configure a CDM-600L modem, as an example.
1. Right-click on the SNMP Modem Manager and select the Declare Modem
command from the drop-down menu.
The New SNMP Modem dialog will open, figure 7-3.
2. From the Unit Type pull-down menu, select the model that corresponds to
this modem. In this example, the CDM600L modem is selected.
Proper selection is important, as this will identify the correct SNMP MIB to
be used for communications with the modem.
