AMCU Configuration
Prior to use of the SNMP function of the AMultiplexer Control Unit (AMCU), the AMCU must be
configured via the local RS-232 port with an ANSI video display terminal (VDT), or a personal computer
(PC). Connect the VDT, or PC, to the DB-25 COM port, located at the rear of the shelf. The VDT/PC
should be set for 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, with no parity. Then complete the following steps.
1. Set the control terminal software speed to 1200 bps data rate for first time programming, or if the
shelf data rate was programmed for 1200 bps.
2. Allow the AMCU to complete its self-check process when the system is first powered up. The self-
test and initialization routines takes approximately 45 seconds.
3. Type VM to view the default SNMP manager.
4. Remove the default SNMP manager by typing RM, then press [Enter]. The system will then
prompt for entry of the manager IP Address to be erased. Type the number 255.255.255.255, and
press [Enter]. This number is a global command, and will erase the default values.
5. The system will now accept all SNMP managers.
6. To configure the SNMP manager type MM, and press [Enter].
Selections are confirmed on most screens and menus through choice of the Apply Changes options.
This is equivalent to the SAVE function in other system programming packages. Once a feature is
selected, or a parameter is set, type Y (for yes) or N (for no), as applicable, and press [Enter] (see
Figure 4-7).
