CHAPTER 12
Introducing the SMT
This chapter describes how to access the SMT and provides an overview of its menus.
12.1 Introduction to the SMT
The NOA-3570’s SMT (System Management Terminal) is a menu-driven interface that you
can access from a terminal emulator through the console port or over a telnet connection. This
chapter shows you how to access the SMT (System Management Terminal) menus, how to
navigate the SMT and how to configure SMT menus.
12.2 Accessing the SMT via the Console Port
NOA-3570 User’s Guide
Make sure you have the physical connection properly set up as described in the Quick Start
Guide.
When configuring using the console port, you need a computer equipped with
communications software configured to the following parameters:
• VT100 terminal emulation.
• 9600 Baud.
• No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, flow control set to none.
12.2.1 Initial Screen
When you turn on your NOA-3570, it performs several internal tests.
After the tests, the NOA-3570 asks you to press
[ENTER] to continue, as shown next.

12.2.2 Entering the Password
The login screen appears after you press [ENTER], prompting you to enter the password, as
shown below.
For your first login, enter the default password “1234”. As you type the password, the screen
displays an “X” for each character you type.
Please note that if there is no activity for longer than five minutes after you log in, your NOA3570 will automatically log you out and display a blank screen. If you see a blank screen, press
[ENTER] to bring up the login screen again.

12.3 Accessing the SMT via Telnet
The following procedure details how to telnet into your NOA-3570.
1 In Windows, click Start (usually in the bottom left corner), Run and then type “telnet
192.168.1.2” (the default IP address) and click OK.
2 For your first login, enter the default password “1234”. As you type the password, the
screen displays an asterisk “*” for each character you type.
Figure 69 Login Screen
Password : xxxx
3 After entering the password you will see the main menu.
Please note that if there is no activity for longer than five minutes (default timeout period)
after you log in, your NOA-3570 will automatically log you out. You will then have to telnet
into the NOA-3570 again. You can use the web configurator or the CI commands to change
the inactivity time out period.

13.1 General Setup
Menu 1 – General Setup contains administrative and system-related information (shown
next). The System Name field is for identification purposes. It is recommended you type your
computer's "Computer name".
The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. While you
must enter the host name (System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can
be assigned from the NOA-3570 via DHCP.

14.3.1 Configuring MAC Address Filter
Your NOA-3570 checks the MAC address of the wireless station device against a list of
allowed or denied MAC addresses. However, intruders could fake allowed MAC addresses so
MAC-based authentication is less secure than EAP authentication.

17.1 About SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management
information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your
NOA-3570 supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage
and monitor the NOA-3570 through the network. The NOA-3570 supports SNMP version one
(SNMPv1) and version two c (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management
operation. SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.
NOA-3570 User’s Guide
CHAPTER 17
SNMP Configuration
Figure 85 SNMP Management Model
An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents and a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the NOA-3570).
An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form
compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators
perform network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor
managed devices.
Chapter 17 SNMP Configuration 153
NOA-3570 User’s Guide
The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of
information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include the number of
packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection
of managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of
accessing these objects.
SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The
manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol
operations:
• Get - Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.
• GetNext - Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list
within an agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table
from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.
• Set - Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
• Trap - Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.
17.2 Supported MIBs
The NOA-3570 supports RFC-1215 and MIB II as defined in RFC-1213. The focus of the
MIBs is to let administrators collect statistic data and monitor status and performance.
17.3 SNMP Configuration
To configure SNMP, select option 22 from the main menu to open Menu 22 – SNMP
Configuration as shown next. The “community” for Get, Set and Trap fields is SNMP
terminology for password.

17.4 SNMP Traps
The NOA-3570 will send traps to the SNMP manager when any one of the following events
occurs:

1 coldStart (defined in RFC-1215) A trap is sent after booting (power on).
2 warmStart (defined in RFC-1215) A trap is sent after booting (software reboot).
3 linkUp (defined in RFC-1215) A trap is sent when the port is up.
4 authenticationFailure (defined in

6 linkDown (defined in RFC-1215) A trap is sent when the port is down.
