Management RU Management

Chapter 5 Management

In the TrangoLINK-10 system, the MU controls most functions of its associated RU. For this reason it is important to consider that you will manage your TrangoLINK-10 system primarily through the MU.

Network management can be performed by three methods

•Browser Interface

•	CLI	Appendix A – Command Set Reference
•	SNMP Manager	Discussed in this section.

RU Management

Most management functions of the RU can be performed by issuing commands from the MU.

As an example, to change the RUs IP, subnet, and gateway: ru ipconfig [ <new ip>][<new subnet>][<new gateway>]

Example: ru ipconfig 192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.1

From the command line interface type ru for a listing of all ru commands. Example:

#> ru

[Remote ID] 00 01 DE 01 AD B5 [Status] connected [RSSI] -47 dBm [Downstream MIR] 10000 kbps [Upstream MIR] 10000 kbps [Downstream] 0 kbps [Upstream] 0 kbps

ru ipconfig <new ip> <new subnet> <new gateway> ru ping

ru powerleveling ru reboot

ru speedtest [<pkt len (byte), 64..1760> [<file size (MBytes), 10, 100>] ru sysinfo

ru testrflink [<pkt len, 64..1760>]

#>

A complete description of these commands and many others can be found in Appendix A – Command Set Reference.

SNMP

TrangoLINK-10 supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for network management. Network management consists of the following 4 categories: configuration, accounting, alarm, and monitoring and control. These capabilities allow the network operator to provide superior services through higher network accessability and integrated accounting system. For more information on SNMP and its uses, you can visit http://www.faqs.org/faqs/snmp-faq/.

The Trango SNMP solution supports MIB-II (system only) and the Trango proprietary Management Information Base (MIB). SNMP agents reside on both the MU and RU.

Users interested in using the SNMP functionality should review the entire TrangoLINK-10 MIB for a complete understanding of its features.

The following is an overview of a few of the more commonly used SNMP objects in the TrangoLINK-10 system.
