Digicast Micro Encapsulator (MENCAP) Revision A
Device Management via User Interfaces MN/MENCAPEDC.IOM
To modify code via Telnet:
Step Procedure
1 Start up Solarwinds TFTP server – ensure configuration as described
previously.
2 Ensure that the code provided by CEFD is located in the TFTP Root
directory.
3 Start up Telnet client and initiate a session with the MENCAP 50 as
described in the Telnet Interface section
4 Select ‘A’ for Administration
5 Select ‘D’ for Download
6 Enter ‘1’ for Application code or ‘2’ for FPGA code (the user will be
directed to select Application or FPGA code in the download
instructions provided by CEFD when new code is provided)
7 Enter the IP address of the TFTP server and wait for the message
“Upgrade complete. Press any key to continue”
This code modification process can also be conducted via the Web Interface, under the
Administration page, or the Terminal Interface under the Main Menu.
Under heavy traffic conditions, the TFTP transfer may take several
minutes. The transfer process reported by Solarwinds may show greater
than 100% transferred, but this is a normal condition. Be patient and
allow the transfer to take place.
4.6 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows an SNMP Manager such as
OpenView or Castle Rock to be used to remotely manage the MENCAP 50 in an
automated fashion.
The MENCAP 50 supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2). Two types
of Management Information Bases (MIBs) are supported: MIB II and private MIB.
MIB II is the default MIB used to gather generic information about the unit, such as
system ‘up’ time, packets sent or received on an interface, etc. MIB II is designed for
only read access, not write access. To read and write configuration parameters over
SNMP requires a private MIB. The MENCAP 50’s private MIB allows parameters to
be set that can be set on the Web Interface, terminal, or Telnet.
The elements Object Identifiers (OIDs) of the MENCAP 50’s MIB are listed in the
appendix of this manual. CEFD has been assigned an SNMP designator by the IEEE,
and will be found in all elements of the IS’s MIB.
The MENCAP 50 supports configurable community strings for added security. As a
security precaution, passwords cannot be remotely queried over SNMP.
IMPORTANT
The assigned designator for CEFD (enterprise OID) is 1.3.6.4.1.18723.
