9145E NID Software User’s Manual
4 The World Leader in Fiber Optic Communications Systems
2.1 Setting Up SNMP Network Management
The 9145E communicates with CanogaView or your Network Management Platform either in-
band, via the Ethernet Network.
2.1.1 Network Management Platform Set-up
Industry standard Management Information Bases (MIBs) are required on your Network Manage-
ment Platform in order to successfully communicate with the 9145E using SNMP. Before you
start, check that the industry-standard MIBs are loaded.
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 in a
password protected area on the Canoga Perkins web site. If you do not yet have a Canoga Per-
kins Username and Password, please contact Support.
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 9145E’s RS-232 Serial Port. Reference Chapter 3 for details on con-
figuring these parameters.
2.2 Management User Interface
The Management User Interface for the 9145E provides screens for setup, monitoring, and diag-
nostics. You can access the screens directly by connecting to the serial port of the 9145E or
using Telnet.
2.2.1 General Screen Format
A typical screen (see 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.
Not all menus provide options that you can change. Some menu items open screens that only
report status, such as revision numbers, module type, or alarms. On other screens, you can
select options or enter data. Use the following methods to navigate screens:
Space bar - When a menu item is highlighted, press <Space> to cycle through all options for
that item.
Tab - Press <Tab> to move the highlight to the next column.
Enter - Press <Enter> to select highlighted option for a menu item or to go to the next line.
Escape - Press <Esc> once to return to the previous screen.
