4.2 Ethernet Management Interface Protocols
The user PC facilitates access to Ethernet-based remote monitor and control (M&C) of the HPOD
through three separately operated protocols:
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This non-secure interface requires a user-
supplied Network Management System (NMS) and a user-supplied Management
Information Base (MIB) File Browser.
• Telnet Interface. This non-secure interface requires use of the user PC’s Command-line
interface, or a user-supplied terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal.
• HPOD Web Server (HTTP) Interface. This non-secure interface requires a compatible user-
supplied web browser such as Internet Explorer.
4.3 SNMP Interface
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol for managing
devices on IP networks. An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components:
• The managed device. This includes the HPOD.
• The SNMP Agent. This is the software that runs on the HPOD. The HPOD SNMP Agent
supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
• The user-supplied Network Management System (NMS). This is the software that runs on
the manager.
