Figure 1-4. SNMP Helps Manage Network Elements via LANs Close at Hand or Over Long Distances
While most of the connectivity and interoperability issues in networking have been resolved, it is still vital
that network devices be monitored, network performance checked, and that network problems be
remotely diagnosed and corrected. Network management achieves these goals, and SNMP is the most
widely accepted market standard for Transmission Control Protocol-Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)-based
environments.
Coastcom implements SNMP using a powerful AMCU that offers the following features:
• Native SNMP that eliminates the need for proxy hardware
• Support of Management Information Base 2 (MIB2) and DS1 MIB
• Intel i960 RISC processor-based AMCU speeds data processing
• Local serial interface allows programming of the unit through use of a dumb terminal, or via a PC with
terminal emulation
• An Ethernet 10Base-T port offering Telnet VT-100, or VT-220 terminal emulation over a LAN
• Downloadable code support via a Personal Computer Memory Card International Association
(PCMCIA ) card.
