System Administration
This section provides all the instructions and procedures necessary for system administrators to
manage the Access Gateway on the customer’s network (after a successful installation).
The system administration procedures in this section are organized as they are listed under their
respective Web Management Interface (WMI) menus:
“Configuration Menu” on page 54
“Network Info Menu” on page 141
“Port-Location Menu” on page 149
“Subscriber Administration Menu” on page 161
“Subscriber Interface Menu” on page 175
“System Menu” on page 208
Choosing a Remote Connection
Once installed and configured for the customer’s network, the Access Gateway can be
managed and administered remotely with any of the following interface options:
Using the Web Management Interface (WMI) - Provides a powerful and flexible Web
interface for network administrators.
Using an SNMP Manager - Allows remote “Windows” management using an SNMP
client manager (for example, HP OpenView). However, before you can use SNMP to
access the Access Gateway, you must set up the appropriate SNMP communities. For
more information, refer to “Managing the SNMP Communities {SNMP}” on
page 128.
Using a Telnet Client
Choose an interface connection, based on your preference.
Now that the Access Gateway has been installed and configured successfully, this
User Guide moves away from the Command Line Interface (CLI) and documents
the Access Gateway from the Web Management Interface (WMI) viewpoint.
To use any of the remote connections (Web, SNMP, or Telnet), the network
interface IP address for the Access Gateway must be established (you did this
during the installation process).
