Managing ASMi-52 via Ethernet Port

ASMi-52 is equipped with an Ethernet/Fast Ethernet port (10/100BaseT) which enables communication with ASMi-52 management subsystem using the IP protocol (see Figure 3-9). The Ethernet management port is configured for a LAN cross-over connection.

To prepare ASMi-52 for network management:

1.Connect a LAN network management station to the ASMi-52 Ethernet port designated 10/100BaseT.

2.Configure the host IP parameters of the ASMi-52 unit via an ASCII terminal.

3.Run an SNMP management application, such as RAD’s RADview, open a Telnet session, or manage ASMi-52 via ConfiguRAD.

To start the ConfiguRAD session:

1.Start a Web browser.

2.Disable any pop-up blocking software, such as the Google Popup Blocker.

3.Enter the IP address of the ASMi-52 in the address field of the browser in the following format: http://<IP address> and then press <Enter> to command the browser to connect (IP address stands for the actual ASMi-52 IP address which has to be assigned via an ASCII terminal).

4.In the Login screen, click LOGIN to start the ConfiguRAD management session.

To choose an option:

1.Click a link in the ConfiguRAD screen to display the next menu.

2.Once the target screen is displayed, select a value from the drop-down box.

Managing ASMi-52 via a Dedicated Timeslot

ASMi-52 modems with E1 or T1 interface can be managed via a dedicated E1/T1 timeslot (DTS) (see Figure 3-9).

The DTS is a management channel that connects directly to the ASMi-52 host using a separate IP interface, i.e., separate IP address and IP mask. If the LAN and dedicated timeslot services are configured to have the same IP, the management
