18.3 CDM-625 Operation with IP Packet Processor
Functionality and selection of the IP Packet Processor’s features and modes of operation, as
specified in the previous section, is seamless via the CDM-625’s operational interfaces.
Equipment monitor and control (M&C) is possible via the methods outlined in this section.
18.3.1 Front Panel Operation
Chapter 5. FRONT PANEL OPERATION
Using the keypad on the front panel, you may access a variety of nested
menus to configure the options available whenever the CDM-625 is
equipped with the IP Packet Processor.
18.3.2 Ethernet-based Remote Product Management
The CDM-625 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Management Interface supports three management
protocols for remote monitor and control (M&C) of the modem:
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) – This requires a user-supplied Network
Management System (NMS) and a user-supplied Management Information Base (MIB) File
Browser.
• Telnet Interface – This requires use of a user-supplied terminal emulation program such as
HyperTerminal (for use with the remote control protocol) or PuTTY (for use with the Telnet
Command Line Interface), installed on the user PC.
• CDM-625 Web Server (HTTP) Interface – This requires a compatible user-supplied web
browser such as Internet Explorer.
18.3.2.1 SNMP Interface
Sect. 6.3 SNMP Interface (Chapter 6. ETHERNET-
BASED REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT)
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol for managing
devices on IP networks. An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components:
• The managed device – This includes the CDM-625 Advanced Satellite Modem.
• The SNMP Agent – The software that runs on the CDM-625. The CDM-625 SNMP Agent
supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
