2.1.3 Web browser

When accessing the software via the web interface, use one of the following web browsers:

MDS FIVE Series 05-4574A01, Rev. C

Figure 2-1. Network connections.

User Interface Manual

 Use Internet Explorer version 5.5 or above

 Mozilla Firefox (latest version preferred)

Use the browser’s default settings. Refer to Section 6.2.1 and Section 6.2.2 for intructions for obtaining a web browser.

The web interface also requires the use of Sun Java JVM version 1.2.2 or above. Refer to Section 6.2.3 for intructions for obtaining Sun Java JVM.

2.1.4 Telnet/SSH client

When accessing the software via the CLI interface, use a telnet or SSH client. An SSH client is similar to a telnet client except it accesses the target over a secure connection.

Windows provides a Windows Standard telnet client that may be accessed through the command prompt. An alternate telnet client may be used.

Refer to Section 6.2.4 for downloading PuTTY, a popular Telnet / SSH Client for Windows.

3 User Interface

3.1 Overview

3.1.1 WEB Overview

The web interface is a feature-filled graphical interface for configuring and monitoring the terminal. Access to web interface is provided via a web browser and a normal or secure connection.

To access the web interface:

1. Open a web browser (browser requirements are discussed in Section

2.1.3).

2. Type the IP address of the SDIDU™ in the address bar and press GO.

3. A popup window will prompt for a user name and password.

4. Enter a user name and password then press OK.

5. Upon successful authentication, the Starting Information Screen (Figure 3-

1) is displayed.

3.1.2 CLI Overview

The CLI provides a text based interface for configuring and monitoring the terminal. The CLI is accessed by doing one of the following:

Using Ethernet interface,

1. Telnet / SSH to the terminal (using IP address of the terminal).

2. Enter a user name and password at the login prompt.

Using Serial interface,

1. Establish an RS232 connection using a serial terminal.

2. Enter a user name and password at the login prompt.

Upon successful authentication the ”General Information Screen” is displayed (Figure 3-2). Switch to the “Main Menu” screen by pressing the M-key. From the “Main Menu,” the user can navigate through various interface screens.

3.1.2.1 How to use CLI screens

3.1.2.1.1 Menu Screens

Menu screens are used to navigate between functions. They display a list of navigation choices. Each choice is listed with a character encased within [ ] braces, or “hotkey.” Press the “hotkey” to switch to the corresponding screen. For example, in Figure 3-3, enter ‘a’ / ‘A’, to switch to the “General Information” screen (the “General Information” screen is displayed in Figure 3-2).

Further references to “hotkey” in this document will refer to the character encapsulated in [ ] brackets for the individual parameter.

Note

3.1.2.2 Configurable Screens

Configurable screens are used to set various parameters. Figure 3-4 shows the “General Network Configuration” screen, which is an example of a configurable screen. Parameters are listed with their values and a “hotkey.” Press the “hotkey” to configure the corresponding parameter. For example, enter ‘a’ / ‘A’, to edit IP address, then press “Enter Key”. Some parameters may have a set list of values. For example, the DHCP Client parameter has two values: Enabled and Disable. To edit this type of parameter, press the corresponding “hotkey” (in this case “E”), then press the “Space Bar”-key, to scroll through different values. Once the desired value is displayed, press the “Enter”-key. If the parameter is displayed without a “hotkey,” it indicates a read-only parameter.

The SNMP agent interface uses these MIB files to configure the system.

3.1.3.2 SNMP Agent Parameters

The SNMP agent interface configurable parameters are described in the following sections..

WEB and CLI interfaces can be used to configure the SNMP parameters below. Change in any of the parameters below

Note

If the agent is configured in “v3 only” or “v1-v2-v3” mode, SNMPv3 “admin” user can configure the SNMP users. There are 4 possible levels of users. User levels are same as described in Section 2.2.

The SNMP agent does not support level based access if the agent is configured as “v1 only” or “v2 only” mode. In the case of v1 and v2 modes of operation, Level1 access is given to the read operation and Level4 access is given for the write operation. Thus, in v1 and v2 modes of operation, the user has full access to system configurations if a valid write community string is used.

User Interface Manual

3.1.3.2.1 SNMP Mode

The SNMP agent can be configured to operate in any of the following modes:

 disable

 v1 only

 v2 only

 v3 only

 v1-v2-v3

If the agent is configured to run as v1 only, v2 only or v3 only, then the user can access the agent only using SNMP v1, v2 or v3 respectively.

If the agent is configured to operate in the v1-v2-v3 mode, then the user can access the agent using SNMP v1, v2 or v3.

The SNMP agent is disabled by selecting the disable mode.

Note

SNMP v1 and v2 provides a weak security by using the community strings. The user can always configure the SNMP agent to operate in “v3 only” mode, which uses authentication as well as encryption for secure transaction.

MDS FIVE Series 05-4574A01, Rev. C

User Interface Manual

3.1.3.2.2 Trap Version

A trap is an SNMP message issued by an SNMP agent that reports an event.

The Trap Version parameter configures the SNMP trap version. The SNMP agent uses the specified version to send the traps to configured trap managers.

3.1.3.2.3 Auth Trap Enable

If enabled, SNMP agent generates Authentication failure trap on authentication failure in any request.

3.1.3.2.4 Read Community

A community string is an SNMP security password. The Read Community string is used in read operation of SNMP v1 or v2, and allows the SNMP manager to issue Get and GetNext messages.

3.1.3.2.5 Write Community

3-7

The Write Community string is used in write operation of SNMP v1 or v2, and allows the SNMP Manager to issue Set messages.

3.1.3.2.6 Trap community

The Trap Community string allows the SNMP agent to issue Trap messages.

3.1.3.2.7 SNMP Auth Password

The SNMP Auth Password is used in only SNMP v3 mode of operation and is the authorization password for the “admin” user.

3.1.3.2.8 SNMP Priv Password

The SNMP Priv Password is used in only SNMP v3 mode of operation and is the privacy password for the “admin” user.

3.1.3.2.9 Trap Manager

Trap Manager configures the trap manager’s IP addresses. A maximum of four Trap managers can be configured. The SNMP agent sends the traps to all the configured trap managers.
