3.3 Setup for Out-of-band (Console) Management

Before doing any in-band management, it is necessary to perform console operations for configuring IP and
SNMP related settings for the first time the system is being installed. The console port is located on the SNMP
module.

Any PC running Windows 95/98/XP/2000/2003 can be used as a console via the COM port. Windows Hyper
Terminal program is an ideal, and the most popular, software for such console terminal operations.

To setup console operation, the steps are:

1. Find a proper RS-232 cable for the connection to a console terminal. If your are using a PC as a Terminal,
make sure the cable pin assignments comply with the following:

Console port 9-pin PC COM port

Pin 2 RXD 3

3 TXD 2
4 DTR 6
5 GND 5
6 DSR 4

2. Connect one end to the console port and connect the other end to the PC COM port.

3. Configure your PC COM port setting to match the RS-232 settings of the console port and start your terminal
software.

Factory default settings of the Console port

Baud rate: 38400, N, 8, 1, 0
Flow control: disabled

4. Turn the system power on.

5. Press <Enter> key several times in your terminal software until a login prompt comes up. It means the
connection is proper.

NOTE: The console port does not support a modem connection.

Refer to Chapter 4 for more information about Console management.

17 www.versitron.com

3.4 Setup for In-band Management

To perform an in-band management, it is necessary to connect the system to your TCP/IP network. The steps are:

1. Configure IP and SNMP related settings to the system using direct console management the first time the
system is being installed.

2. Find a proper straight-through Category 5 UTP cable (maximal length 100 meters) for the connection.

3. Connect one end of the UTP cable to the UTP port on the SNMP module and connect the other end to the
device, such as a switching hub, in your TCP/IP network.

4. Start your in-band management operations. For different management methods, refer to:

• Chapter 4 for Telnet management

SNMP Management

SNMP management is performed at a network management station running SNMP network management
application manager software with graphical user interface. The following figure illustrates an example model:

The system unit serves as an SNMP agent and provides the capabilities that allows network administrators via
SNMP protocol to set parameters and view system status and media converter status defined in the standard MIB­II and private MIB.

5.1 Configuring SNMP Settings via Console Operation

Before performing SNMP operation, proper SNMP settings must be configured in the system unit. The SNMP
related settings are:

Name Login name to identify a specific system unit
Location Location where the system is installed
Contact Contact person regarding the system
Community SNMP communities to which the system belongs and access rights to the system (read

only or read/write)

Trap hosts IP addresses of trap hosts to which a trap is issued and the trap community to which the

system belongs

Up to four SNMP communities and up to three trap hosts are supported by the system SNMP agent.

These settings can be configured through console or telnet operation. Refer to Chapter 4 for more information.

28 www.versitron.com

5.2 SNMP Private MIB

Use the SNMP management application software to compile the MIB file first before performing any
management operation. In addition to standard MIB-II (RFC1213), the system supports private MIB as below:

Private MIB Objects Get

ssPowerStatus(kti.30.1.1) Y Power 1&2 status
ssFanStatus(kti.30.1.2) Y System fan status
cputype(kti.30.2.1) Y ARM7
flashrom(kti.30.2.2) Y 512KB
memsize(kti.30.2.3) Y 2MB
softwarever(kti.30.2.4) Y 1.xx
mibFileVer(kti.30.2.5) Y 1.xx
portNumber(kti.30.3.1) Y Total number of slots
portTable(kti.30.3.2) ­portEntry(1) ­slotIndex(1) Y Slot ID 1 – 16
slotIndexDescription(2) Y Slot1 - Slot16
slotModuleDescription(3) Y
slotModuleType(4) Y
sotModuleStatus_PortA_Media(5) Y Port A media type
slotModuleStatus_PortA_LineSpeed(6) Y Port A line Speed
slotModuleStatus_PortA_Duplex(7) Y Port A duplex mode
slotModuleStatus_PortA_LinkStatus(8) Y Port A Link status
slotModuleStatus_PortB_Media(9) Y Port B media type
slotModuleStatus_PortB_LineSpeed(10) Y Port B line speed
slotModuleStatus_PortB_Duplex(11) Y Port B duplex mode
slotModuleStatus_PortB_LinkStatus(12) Y Port B link status
slotModuleStatus_RTP_LinkStatus(13) * Y Remote MC link status

Remark

* RTP_LinkStatus : TP port link status of the connected remote MC

Note: Port A is the upper port of the MC; Port B is the lower port of the MC

Refer to MIB file, KC1300-Vx.xx.mib for the details. This file can be used for MIB compiler.

5.3 SNMP Traps

The system also supports the following SNMP traps. When the trap event occurs, the SNMP agent will generate a
trap notification to the SNMP management station.

Trap Name Event of Trap Generated
