3.7 Enabling Mat Heater Traps
The digital input that is used to report the status of the mat heater hardware is alarmable. By default,
the two alarmable states of the digital input are disabled. Using the conventional methods provided by
HMS, the digital input genericDigitalInputState.3 can have its alarms enabled / configured via MIB object
discreteAlarmEnable of the discretePropertyTable to generate traps.
3.8 Using the Ethernet (Craft) Port
3.8.1 Overview
The transponder’s Ethernet port (comparable to the “Craft” port on some transponder models) will
typically be used as a local connection point allowing the technician to connect directly to the unit.
The Ethernet port is a fully functional standard Ethernet port, capable of providing all the function-
ality of any standard Ethernet connection.
Using a local (direct) connection to the transponder, a technician may communicate with the tran-
sponder via a Web browser. The connection process is discussed in the sections that follow. The
Web browser will be used to set the configuration of the transponder to match that of the power
supply, verify network connection, and to check that power supply data is being supplied to the
transponder.
The interface can be accessed by connecting a network cable (CAT5), and typing the cable mo-
dem’s IP address (typically 192.168.100.1) of the transponder into a Web browser. The interface
includes status data for the cable modem, the HMS transponder, High Speed Internet Access
(HSIA) diagnostics, the RF constellation page and equalizer page, and the MTA (Media Terminal
Adapter) in VoIP systems.
