Ethernet Interface Operation 4–1 MN-LPOD
Chapter 4. ETHERNET INTERFACE
OPERATION
4.1 Overview
CEFD recommends use of the Ethernet-based SNMP interface for advanced users
only. All other users are strongly encouraged to use the LPOD HTTP Interface for
Operation of the LPOD Ethernet Interface is available when you connect a user-supplied,
windows-based PC to the 19-pin ‘J6 | COM1’ communications port on the LPOD using the
appropriate adapter cable.
Three protocols are available to use for Ethernet remote M&C. Operate these protocols
separately.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This requires a user-supplied Network
Monitoring System (NMS) and a user-supplied Management Information Base (MIB) File
Browser.
• Telnet Interface. Use the serial remote control protocol for this interface. This requires
use of Windows Command-line, or a user-supplied terminal emulation program such as
HyperTerminal.
• Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) (Web Server) Interface. This requires a compatible
user-supplied web browser such as Internet Explorer.
4.1.1 Prerequisites
Before you proceed with Ethernet remote product management, make sure the following is true:
• The LPOD is operating with the latest version firmware files.
• The User PC is running a terminal emulation program for operation of the LPOD Telnet
Interface.
• The User PC is running a compatible web browser for operation of the LPOD HTTP
Interface.
• The User PC is connected to the LPOD 19-pin ‘J6 | COM1’ port. You may connect the
User PC Ethernet port to the LPOD with the available CA-0000352 Ethernet Interface
Cable (part of CEFD Kit KT-0000203).
• You have recorded the LPOD’s Management IP Address.
