Chapter 4. DEVICE MANAGEMENT
VIA USER INTERFACES
4.1 Introduction
Management of the CMR-5940 is simple and intuitive. There are a variety of ways to
configure and manage the CMR-5940:
• Web Interface via a LAN-based desktop Web browser
• Terminal Interface via direct connection to a PC’s asynchronous serial port
• Telnet Interface via a LAN
• TFTP for remote terminal upgrades
• SNMP Private MIB and MIB II (Future)
4.2 Web Interface
The Web Interface, operating under standard HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP), is
used to communicate with and command the CMR-5940 via a HyperText Markup
Language-based Graphical User Interface (GUI). To utilize the Web Interface, a LAN
connection must exist between the PC with a browser and the CMR-5940.
Once a valid IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway have been entered into the
CMR-5940, activate a Web browser on the desktop, then enter the IP address for the
CMR-5940 into the URL field as shown in the
has been modified from the standard 80 via the Terminal Interface, then the port number
must be appended with a colon to the IP address.

4.3 Terminal Interface
The Terminal Interface provides the user with a textual configuration dialog for
configuring the CMR-5940. This method of configuration should be used for initial
configuration of the unit; i.e., configuring the network parameters for the unit but not for
normal operation. The Web (HTTP) Interface is recommended for operational
management.
The Terminal Interface allows the entire unit to be configured and managed, but this
interface can only be used while a serial connection is present between the CMR-5940
and a PC.
The screens shown in this section are displayed via a Terminal connection. The same
menu information is displayed via the Telnet or serial interface with some specific
features only available via this access method – these ‘serial interface only’ features are
noted in this section. Detailed information is provided about the menu features in
Chapter 4.2 Web Interface.

4.5 Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
The CMR-5940 supports changes to the resident software and firmware by means of the
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). This enables changes to be made remotely via the
LAN interface. It is recommended to use Solarwinds TFTP server application (available
at
http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/SelectProgramFree.cfm).
To modify the software and/or firmware, use the following procedures:
Configure the server as follows:
a)
File ! Configuration ! Select the ‘TFTP Root Directory’. Set up the location
of the CMR-5940 files.
b)
File ! Configuration ! Select the ‘Security’ tab and make sure ‘Transmit and
Receive
c) Save configuration.
The server is now configured for the file transfer process.
IMPORTAN
’ are selected.
Because the CMR-5940 stops processing data traffic during the
download process, it is recommended that this upgrade procedure
be performed during scheduled network down time.
Do NOT remove power from the unit during the download process.
4-26
CMR-5940 Digicast Media Router PID Filter RS-422 Revision A
T
Device Management via User Interfaces MN/PIDFILDC4.IOM
To modify code via Telnet:
Step Procedure
1 Start up Solarwinds TFTP server – Ensure configuration as described
previously
2 Ensure that the code provided by CEFD is located in the TFTP Root
directory
3 Start up Telnet client and initiate a session with the CMR-5940 as
described in the Telnet Interface section
4 Select ‘A’ for Administration
5 Select ‘D’ for Download
6 Enter ‘1’ for Application code or ‘2’ for FPGA code (the user will be
directed to select Application or FPGA code in the download
instructions provided by CEFD when new code is provided)
7 Enter the IP address of the TFTP server and wait for the message
“Upgrade complete. Press any key to continue”
This code modification process can also be conducted via the Web Interface, under the
Administration page, or the Terminal Interface under the Main Menu.
IMPORTAN
Under heavy traffic conditions, the TFTP transfer may take several
minutes. The transfer process reported by Solarwinds may show greater
than 100% transferred, but this is a normal condition. Be patient and
allow the transfer to take place.
4.6 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) (Future)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) has not been enabled on this product and
is planned as a future release. However, when enabled, SNMP allows an SNMP Manager
such as OpenView or Castle Rock to be used to remotely manage the CMR-5940 in an
automated fashion.
The CMR-5940 supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2). Two types of
Management Information Bases (MIBs) are supported: MIB II and private MIB.
MIB II is the default MIB that is used to gather generic information about the unit, such
as system ‘up’ time, packets sent or received on an interface, etc. MIB II is designed for
only read access, not write access. To read and write configuration parameters over
SNMP requires a private MIB. The CMR-5940’s private MIB allows parameters that
can be set on the Web, Terminal, or Telnet interfaces.
The elements Object Identifiers (OIDs) of the MIB will be listed in the appendix of a
future revision of this manual. CEFD has been assigned an SNMP designator by the
IEEE, which will be found in all elements of the CMR-5940’s MIB.
NOTE
The assigned designator for CEFD (enterprise OID) is 1.3.6.4.1.18723.

The CMR-5940 supports configurable community strings for added security. As a
security precaution, passwords cannot be remotely queried over SNMP.
For SNMP access from a remote network via the public Internet, a VPN connection to the
CMR-5940 will need to be established using third-party VPN client/server access.

transmission. It is recommended to use the Solarwinds TFTP server application (available
at
http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/SelectProgramFree.cfm) for upgrading the product.
Once the TFTP server is enabled and the new file (
copied to the TFTP server, the following procedures may be used to upgrade the unit.

Appendix B. SYSTEM LOG
B.1 Introduction
The CMR-5940 supports a feature known as system logging, more commonly called
Syslog.
This section illustrates how a system logger can be set up on a Linux or Unix system
allowing the CMR-5940 to report system events to a logger attached via an Ethernet
connection.
B.2 Enabling a System Logger
To enable system logging, add the following command string to the bottom of the
/etc/syslog.conf file on the Logging Server:
CONFIGURATION
1
,
# log the mux messages to here
*.=info /var/log/mux.log
Where:
*.=info tells the logger to send all messages it receives from the Mux to the Dir/file
1
Note that this is merely a sample configuration. CEFD does not support the setup of a syslog
server, since it is assumed that one is already configured and operational for use.

System Log Configuration MN/PIDFILDC4.IOM
Looking in the top of file /etc/init.d/syslog2, the following is usually displayed:
#!/bin/bash
#
# syslog Starts syslogd/klogd.
#
#
# chkconfig: 2345 12 88
# description: Syslog is the facility by which many daemons use to log \
# messages to various system log files. It is a good idea to always \
# run syslog.
# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions
[ -f /sbin/syslogd ] || exit 0
[ -f /sbin/klogd ] || exit 0
# Source config
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/syslog ] ; then
. /etc/sysconfig/syslog
else
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=”-m 0”
KLOGD_OPTIONS=”-2”
fi
Of specific interest is the following line:
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=”-m 0”
By adding a –r suffix, this allows the server to accept messages from remote machines.
The edited line should read as follows:
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=”-m 0 –r”
Check the services file, normally at /etc/services, to ensure that PORT 514 is defined.
By default this should be enabled on most machines.
NOTE
After making the changes you must restart syslogd.
On most machines, entering “service syslog restart” should complete the configuration.
