Introduction
A GENT CARD OVERVIEW
The embeddedAgent Card is a standardTSUproductoption card that allows Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), telnet, and T-Watch over TCP/IP
management of the TSU/HSU in which the card is installedaswellasupto16additionaldevicesthataredaisy
chained to the Agent Card. The Agent Card also forwards
traps received from chained devices as SNMP traps to
network management stations (NMS). See the appendix
SNMP for more information. The Agent Card is connected to a TCP/IP network using either the 10-Base-T Ethernet or EIA-232 serialline internetprotocol (SLIP)interface
on the rear panel of the option module. Figure 1-1 on
page 1-2 shows a typical Agent Card application.
Each of the Agent Cards in this application must be assigned a fixed IP address. The unit ID of each TSU is appended to the SNMP community name to provide unique
identification of chained units.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The Agent Card is an option module which plugs into the
option slot in the rear of the TSU/HSU. See Figure 1-2.
The Agent Card rear panel includes a plastic plug over a
cutout for a V.35 connector. This allows a V.35 Nx56/64
interface plug-on card to be added to the Agent Card.
The PORT X.1 identification on the rear panel is linked to
the port numbering philosophy of the TSU/HSU product
family. The X represents the slot number, and the .1 indicates the port number. For the TSU 100 application, there
isonly one option slot. Therefore, the port designation for
the Agent port is 1.1. If added, the Nx56/64 port designation is 1.2. These port numbers appear in the front panel
LCD menu displays.

AGENT CARD CONFIGURATION
After installation, the Agent Card must be properly configured via the TSU/HSU front panel, telnet session, EIA232 terminal session, or SNMP MIB browser. Note that
certain configuration information such as SNMP community names, telnet password, and Device Configuration
Tables cannot be viewed or changed from the front panel
menus. These items can only be a ccessed from teln et/terminal menus or the SNMP MIB browser. Also, IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask must be set to
theirproper values from the front panel or EIA-232 terminal menus before further configuration via telnet or
SNMP is possible.
A non-zero passcode must be set on all TSU/HSU units accessed by the
Agent Card, including the controller the card is installed in.
Chapter 3. Operation
A typical application for SNMP access over a 10BaseT
LAN would require the following configuration steps:
1. Set TCP/IP interface to 10BaseT via the front panel.
This is the default setting.
2. Configure IP address, default gateway, a nd subnet
mask via the TSU/HSU front panel menus.
3. From a personal computer (PC) or workstation anywhere on the TCP/IP network to which the Agent
Card is connected, telnet to the Agent Card IP
address.
4. Set telnet password, community names, trap destination addresses, etc. from telnet menus.

MIBaccess, an entryis required only ifthe unit's passcode
is not the same as the Default Unit Passcode, or the unit is
a s ingle port TSU Standalone.
It is not necessary to have an entry in this table for a remote unit in order
to telnet to it or forward SNMP traps from it. In the teln et case, the
Remote Menu Access menu is selected from the Main menu and a unit
ID is entered which may or may not be in the Unit Access Table. Also, it
is n ot necessary to add an entry in this table for the T SU/HSU in which
the Agent Card is installed. This unit automatically appears as the first
entry in the table and is identified as the HOST.
Units accessed via T-Watch over TCP/IP uses the unit ID
and passcode set by T-Watch running on the PC.

UNDERSTANDING SNMP
As local area network (LAN) environments b ecame standardized over the past ten years, multi-vendor equipment grew with competition. It became necessary to
manage the various vendor equipment from a single controlconsole. Thus,theSNMPemergedasthestandardfor
managing commercial TCP/IP networks.
The term SNMP broadly refers to the message protocols
used to exchange information between the network and
the managed devices, as well as to the structure of network management databases.
Basic Components
SNMP has three basic components: Network Manager,
Alert, and MIB.
Network Manager
This is a control program that collects, controls, and presents data pertinent to the operation of the network devices. It resides on a network management station.
61200160L1#HS-1 Agent Card User Manual A-1
Appendix A. SNMP
Agent
MIB
This is a control program that responds to queries and
commands from the network manager and returns requested information or invokes configuration changes
initiated by the manager. It resides in each network device.
This is an index to the organized data within a network
device. It defines the operating parameters that can be
controlledor monitored. When requesting the network
managertoretrieveormodifyaparticularpieceofinformation about a network device, the network manager
transmits the request to that network device. The agent in
that device interprets the incoming request, performs the
requested task, and sends its response to the network
manager. The network ma nager collects all the data from
the various network devices and presents it in a consistent form.
Commands
Using SNMP Version 1, the network manager can issue
three types of commands: GetRequest, GetNextRequest,
and SetRequest.
GetRequest
This command retrieves a single item or the first in a series from a network device.
GetNextRequest
This command retrieves the next item in a series from a
network device.
SetRequest
This command writes information to a network device.
A-2 Agent Card User Manual 61200160L1#HS-1
Message
The network device issues two types of messages: GetResponse and Trap.
GetResponse
This message is the response to a network manager
GetRequest or GetNextReques t command.
Trap
Thisisanunsolicitedmessageissued bya networkdevice
toreport an operational anomalyor an alarm condition to
the network manager.
These messages are typically encased within informational packets and transported over the LAN or WAN (wide
area network).
AGENT CARD SNMP ACCESS
Appendix A. SNMP
By default, SNMP MIB Browser access to the Agent
Card's IP address with the configured community names
accesses the host TSU/HSU the card is installed in. The
Agent Card can also act as an SNMP proxy agent for external units. To access MIB variables on externally
chained devices, append a period and the Unit ID of the
device to the Read and Read/Write community names.
For example, if the Read community name configured in
the Agent is public, specifying "public.3" as the community name in the SNMP MIB Browser allows reading
SNMP MIB variables from externally chained unit 3.
If the external unit's passcode is not the default, an entry
must be added to the Unit Access Table for SNMP MIB access. Figure 3-4 on page 3-9 gives a description of this operation. However, SNMP traps for the unit can be
forwarded without the entry.
61200160L1#HS-1 Agent Card User Manual A-3
Appendix A. SNMP
SNMP TRAP CONFIGURATION
Trapsreceived by the Agent Card from external units and
the host unit are converted into SNMP traps and forwarded to the configured NMS. The source of the trap is
uniquely identified at the NMS by a combination of the
IP address of the Agent Card, and the Unit ID of the sending device. The Unit ID is present in the trap packet appended to the end of the trap community packet name,
forexamplepublic.4. ItisalsoincludedasanOctetString
variable (adProdPhysAddress) in the trap packet as defined in the individual product MIBs. The latest versions
of the product MIBs by default display the appended trap
community name in their descriptions.
Typical steps required for Management Station trap configurationareloadingthedevicespecificMIBs.andloading or creating device specific Trap Definition Files. The
current product MIBs contain keywords embedded in
comments that can be used by some network management platforms to automatically generate Trap Definitions. Otherwise, the descriptions may be used as a
template for Trap Definitions.
If individual option card port and slot identification is required, it is present in the four byte adProdPhysAddress
fieldofthetrappacket. ThefirsttwobytesaretheUnitID
ofthe base controller (least significantbyte first). The next
two bytes are port and slot number. This field is the second object identifier in all traps sent from TSU/HSU
products. For traps from the ISU 512, the Unit ID is the
first object identifier. See the product MIBs for more information
Definitionsfor Poll Link Up/Down traps are included in
the Agent Card MIB file: TSUAGENT.MIB.
A-4 Agent Card User Manual 61200160L1#HS-1
SNMP MIB BROWSER CONFIGURATION
ThefollowingaretypicalstepsrequiredtoconfigureNetwork Manager MIB variable access through the Agent
Card:
1. Load the desired product MIBs on the network management station. If,for example, the adm inistrator is
managing TSU 100 and ISU 512 devices, load TSU
100.MIB, ISU512.MIB, and RFC1406.MIB.
2. Create device entries in the NMS database for all
units that are to be managed through the Agent
Card. The host unit should be configured as the
Proxy agent for the external units. The IP address or
host name used for the proxy designation is that of
the Agent Card.
3. Set community names in the devices entries for
external units to the Agent Card's community name
with the device Unit ID appended as defined in
Agent Card SNMP Access on page A-3.
4. Set the device timeout for all device entries in the
NMS device database to five seconds, including the
host unit.
Appendix A. SNMP
SNMP MIB FILES
The Agent Card supports several standard MIBs including MIB-II (RFC-1213), the DS1 T1/E1 MIB (RFC-1406),
andtheEthernetMIB(RFC-1643). It also supports several
ADTRAN enterprise specific MIBs including the ADTRAN Product MIB (ADTRAN.MIB), the ADTRAN DS1
extensions MIB (ADS1.MIB), and all TSU/HSU Enterprise MIBs, such as TSU 100.MIB.
The standard MIB files are usually included with most
