2.1 Setting Up SNMP Network Management
The 9145E communicates with CanogaView or your Network Management Platform either in-band, via the
User or Network port, or out of band, via the Management UTP port.
2.1.1 About MIBs
To communicate with the 9145E using SNMP, standard Management Information Bases (MIBs) are
required on your Network Management Platform. Refer to “Supported MIBs” on page 8 for a list of MIBs.
Additionally, Canoga Perkins Private MIBs are needed on the Management Platform to manage tasks
specific to the Canoga Perkins 9145E. 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: When logging in to the client site or secure site you will need to register using the serial
number of the 9145E.
2.1.2 9145E Set-up
There are several TCP/IP and SNMP parameters that need to be configured before accessing the 9145E
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 9 for details on configuring these
parameters.
2.2 Management User Interface
The Management User Interface for the 9145E provides a menu driven interface for setup, monitoring, and
diagnostics. You can access the screens directly by connecting to the serial port of the 9145E 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.
