Chapter 6. ETHERNET-BASED
REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT
6.1 Introduction
Ethernet-based Remote Product Management of the CDM-570/570L is available using the rear
panel RJ-45 10/100 BaseT Ethernet M&C port. This chapter provides a high-level overview of the
functionality provided by this interface and references other chapters for further details.
6.2 Ethernet Management Interface Protocols
A user-supplied PC facilitates access to Ethernet-based remote monitor and control (M&C) of the
CDM-570/570L through three separately-operated protocols:
• The HTTP (Web Server) Interface. This requires a compatible user-supplied web browser such
as Internet Explorer.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This requires a user-supplied Network
Management System (NMS) and a user-supplied Management Information Base (MIB) File
Browser.
• The Telnet Interface. This requires use of your PC’s Command-line interface, or a user-supplied
terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal.
In general, the operation of each of these interfaces is essentially identical to the management
interfaces that are available when the optional IP Module is installed.
1. In Remote Æ Ethernet mode, Serial monitoring is allowed; however, Serial
control is not allowed except for use of the LRS (Local/Remote Status) and
FPL (Front Panel Lockout) commands/queries.
2. The Ethernet M&C port is designed to be used on a CDM-570/570L modem
that does NOT have the optional IP Module installed. With the IP Module
installed the IP Module Traffic port and base modem M&C port will share the
same IP address and can cause an IP conflict on the local network if both
ports are used. Therefore, when the IP Module is installed, only the IP
