SHAPING THE FUTURE OF SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS
5 HOW TO MANAGE
This section explains how the devices can be configured and how the parameters
in the device are ordered and managed according to your needs.
The device can be managed using one of the following physical interfaces:
• The front panel display;
• The Ethernet port;
• The serial port.
When the management is done using the Ethernet the graphical user interface can
be used to display the parameters on a management PC.
The following protocols are used to perform the communication between the
management PC and the device.
• Remote Monitoring and Control Protocol
for more information we refer to 5.5.1
• Simple Network Management Protocol
for more information we refer to section 5.5.2.
5.1 Menu Tree
Use the front panel or the graphical user interface to set the configurable variables
in the device.
The variables are structured in a logical way: in a menu tree we refer to Figure 25,
Figure 26 and Figure 27.
The menu tree shows the organisation of the parameters in the device. This menu
tree is similar accessing the parameters via the front panel and usage via the GUI
(graphical user interface).
The menu structure of the GUI and the front panel are identical except for the User
Menu which is programmable via the front panel.
How to program the User Menu is described in Appendix A of this document.
The details on the menu tree and the variables in the menu tree are described in
the reference manual of this device.
