2.1 Overview

PowerDsine’s Power View Pro is a management system, utilized for complete monitoring and control of PowerDsine’s Power over Ethernet (PoE) Midspans, via a remote network management station. The system provides direct on-line power supervision, configuration, monitoring and diagnostics of PowerDsine products via their SNMP managers.

NOTE:

The principle of operation is similar for all Midspan models described in this manual

2.2 Features

The manager provides a number of unique features for PoE Midspan management as follows:

♦ HTTP - Web based for remote management of Power over

Ethernet device

♦ SSL - Secured WEB based configuration ♦ Configuration using graphical representations of remote device ♦ SNMPv2c/v1/v3 ♦ RFC3621 Power over Ethernet (PoE) SNMP MIBs ♦ Private MIB extension to RFC3621 PoE MIB ♦ Telnet – Remote terminal over Ethernet Network ♦ Real time monitoring with visual status ♦ System status display ♦ SysLog Server - Log events to remote SysLog Server

PPoowweerrDDssiinnee

PPoowweerr oovveerr EEtthheerrnneett SSoolluuttiioonnss

RReemmoottee WWeebb MMaannaaggeerrss

2.3 System Capabilities

The manager can be accessed from any computer by WEB browser such as an Internt Explorer/Netscape, SNMP management station, Telnet, or RS232 Terminal. The Power View Pro allows monitoring and controlling of over Etehrnet IP networks as shown in Figure 2-1:

Figure 2-1: Management Deployment

2.3.1 Configuration options

• Web based – by utilizing a WEB browser

• SNMPv1/2c/3 – by utilizing an SNMP management application

on a remote computer

• Telnet – via the RJ45 Etehrnet port by using Telent application on a remote computer

• Serial communication port – by using Terminal emulation software such as Microsoft Windows Hyper Terminal, or any similar software.

• Serial communication rate must be set to 38400, no hardware flow control and cross cable should be used (pin2 crossed with pin3).

PPoowweerrDDssiinnee

PPoowweerr oovveerr EEtthheerrnneett SSoolluuttiioonnss

RReemmoottee WWeebb MMaannaaggeerrss

NOTE:

The unit is shipped with default IP of 192.168.0.50. Make sure that

a computer Network card is configured to the same IP network.

• Telnet and WEB configuration are password protected.

• Serial communication configuration should be used in order to

define the unit’s IP address, upload / download unit configuration, restore unit configuration to factory default, or perform software updates. Any other configuration should be carried out via the WEB browser.

2.4 Security & User Authentication

2.4.1 Web Configuration

Web configuration can be protected by user by password. Two user & password protection levels are avilable as follow:

• View username & password – a remote user has access

to Web pages that provide various information, but has no

permission to perform any modifications.

• Configuration username & password - a remote user

(usually administrator) has full authority to modify any unit’s parameter.

2.4.2 SNMP

• SNMP v1/v2 - community string is utilized for authentication

• SNMP v3 – Network Management Protocol Version-3

PPoowweerrDDssiinnee

Get/Set/Trap authentication.

(SNMPv3) is an standards-based protocol, utilized for network management. It provides secure access to devices by a combination of authenticating and encrypting packets

over the network.

PPoowweerr oovveerr EEtthheerrnneett SSoolluuttiioonnss

RReemmoottee WWeebb MMaannaaggeerrss

2.4.3 Telnet Configuration

Since Telnet provide access to IP configuration, software updates and data bases upload/download functions, it is always password protected (regardless of Web view & configure password selection option).

WEB and Telnet utilize the same passwords (Telnet utilizes Web browser password even if the Web password function is disabled).

NOTE:

The PPoowweerr VViieeww PPrroo

Protection:

Configuration password protection

WEB/Telnet: View (usually user) : user name =”user”, password =”password” Configure (usually administrator): user name =”admin”, password =

”password”. SNMP v3: Guest (usually remote SNMP manager) : user name =”public” View User (usually user) : user name =”view”, authentication

password (MD5) = ”password”, : privacy password (DES)= ”password”,

Admin User (usually administrator) : user name =”admin”, authentication password (MD5) = ”password”, : privacy password (DES)= ”password”,

is provided with the following factory defaults:
