ASMi-52 Ver. 2.5 Configuring ASMi-52 for Management 4-1

Chapter 4 Configuration

4.1 Configuring ASMi-52 for Management

The configuration of ASMi-52 is performed via a menu-driven embedded

software, using a standard ASCII terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation

application connected to the rear panel CONTROL port. Alternatively, ASMi-52

can be managed from a Telnet host connected to the 10/100BaseT port on the

rear panel.

Configuring Management Parameters

You must define the ASMi-52 internal SNMP agent parameters in order to enable

SNMP and Telnet management (see Figure 4-1). You can also enter additional

information about your ASMi-52, such as the name of the contact person detail,

unit location, etc.

 To access the Management menu:

• From the System Configuration menu, select Management (Main menu >

Configuration > System Configuration > Management).

The Management menu appears (Figure 4-1).
