Setting Up for Network Management

You can manage the system through VT100 Terminal Emulation, which is accessible by a Telnet
session, HyperTerminal or similar terminal emulation software, a standard SNMP network man-
ager, and CanogaView.
3.1 Setting Up for Network Management
Typically, the 9161 runs within the network on an Ethernet connection, communicating with your
Network Management Platform.
3.1.1 Set Up the Network Management Platform
You must run several Management Information Bases (MIBs) on your Network Management
Platform in order to successfully manage this module. Before you start, check that these indus-
try-standard MIBs are loaded:
• Standard MIB
• Etherlike.my
• If.my
• Bridge.my
• Pbridge.my
In addition, download these private mibs, available from the Canoga Perkins web site; go to
www.Canoga.com, click Support, then click Software Download, and follow the prompts on
screen.
• Cpsysinf.my Supports SNMP access
• Cphost.my Supports Host Table and Host Access functions
• Cptraptb.my Supports the Trap Table
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 before you can use Telnet.
