3240S Software and Managed Use
You can use the 3240S without the SNMP module, in manual mode, or with the SNMP module, in
managed mode.
Setting Up for Managed Mode
Typically, the 3240S runs within the network on an Ethernet connection, communicating with your
Network Management Platform.
Set Up the Network Management Platform
You must run two Management Information Bases (MIBs) on your Network Management Platform in
order to successfully manage the 3240S. Before you start, check that Standard MIB-II (the industry-
standard mib) is loaded. In addition, download Cp.mib, a private mib that supports all Canoga
Perkins products, available from the Canoga Perkins web site. Go to www.Canoga.com, click
Support, then click Software Download, and follow the prompts on screen.
Set Up the PC for Terminal Operation
Connect the VT100 terminal emulation session directly to the 3240S. Setting up the VT100 session
depends on which connection, serial port or Ethernet, you have available for access to the VT100
management program. Canoga Perkins suggests that you use HyperTerminal for your first session.
You must set up TCP/IP for the 3240S before you can use Telnet.
These steps briefly describe how to set up your PC for a terminal connection. For details on using
Windows, see your Windows documentation.
1. Turn on your PC.
2. At the Start button, select Accessories, the HyperTerminal Folder, and click HyperTerminal.
3. At the Connection Description dialog, select an icon, enter a name for the connection to the
system, and click OK.
4. At the Connect To dialog, pull down the Connect using menu, select the COM port, and
click OK.

• Bits per second: 9600 bps
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
6. Click OK. HyperTerminal connects to the system and the VT100 terminal emulation starts.
