2.1 Setting Up SNMP Network Management
The 9145EMP communicates with CanogaView or your Network Management Platform either in-
band, via the Network port, or out of band, via the Management UTP port.
2.1.1 About MIBs
To communicate with the 9145EMP using SNMP, standard Management Information Bases
(MIBs) are required on your Network Management Platform. Refer to “Supported MIBs” on
page 10 for a list of MIBs.
Additionally, Canoga Perkins Private MIBs are needed on the Management Platform to manage
tasks specific to the Canoga Perkins 9145EMP. The Canoga Perkins Private MIBs are available
for download in the Client Support area of the Canoga Perkins web site. Go to www.canoga.com,
then click on Client Support.
NOTE: To log in to the client site or secure site, use the serial number of the 9145EMP to
register.
2.1.2 9145EMP Set-up
Several TCP/IP and SNMP parameters must be configured before you can accessing the
9145EMP from CanogaView or your Management Platform. These parameters include TCP/IP
Address, Authorized Host List and Privileges. These parameters are initialized using a VT-100
Terminal connected to the RS-232 Serial Port. Refer to “System Configuration Menu” on page 11
for details on configuring these parameters.
2.2 Management User Interface
The Management User Interface for the 9145EMP provides a menu driven interface for setup,
monitoring, and diagnostics. You can access the screens directly by connecting to the serial port
of the 9145EMP or using Telnet.
A typical screen (Figure 2-1) includes standard descriptions and reference designations. Use this
and other screens to configure the system, set operational parameters, and verify the system
status. All screens use a common method for navigation.
NOTE: Status screens do not have selectable items.
Use the following methods to navigate screens:
• When a menu item is highlighted, press the Space bar to view the options for that item.
• Press Tab to move the highlight to the next column.
• Press Enter to select the highlighted option for a menu item or to go to the next line.
• Press Esc once to cancel an action or to return to the previous screen.
To select an item from a screen menu enter the menu item number. For example, you would type
6 and press Enter to select “Utilities” as shown in Figure 2-1.
