LRS-24Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

Remote Management

The modem cards in the LRS-24 can be remotely managed by the RADview-HPOV SNMP management system, the PC-based RADview-PC/MDM management system or by a dumb terminal. The same RADview application can manage the LRS-24, modems in the hub and other RAD products.

Audible and visual indicators provide status of alarms and tests at the network, card and port levels, and include all links connected to the hub. Alarms are automatically logged and presented upon request, unless otherwise masked.

RADview-HPOV SNMP Management System

Both electrical and fiber optic modem cards can be managed by the RADview-HPOV SNMP management system. All cards in the hub, except for ASM-40CD, have remote control abilities for monitoring and/or controlling remote units, and several types of cards contain an internal SNMP agent. In some cases, managed cards can work opposite non-manageable modems.

RADview-HPOV management is available for modules with or without integrated SNMP agent, via the SNMP Control Module (CM-2). The RADview-HPOV station is connected to LRS-24 via an integrated Ethernet connection on the CM-2 module; CM-2 acts as a proxy SNMP agent for those cards without an agent.

RADview-PC/MDM Management System

The RADview-PC/MDM management station communicates with LRS-24 using out-of-band communication via Ethernet.

The RADview-PC/MDM has a windows-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) platform for LAN and WAN networks. The graphical user interface allows configuration with easy-to-use operations on graphical representations of the hub. The configuration can be performed at the port, card, hub and network levels.

Management by Dumb Terminal

LRS-24 can also be managed from a dumb terminal. Control Module CM-1 is used for ASCII terminal management of modules with SNMP agent on-board, such as HTU-E1C.

Clock

Both control modules, CM-1 and CM-2, have a station clock connection enabling clock distribution to all cards, so that all cards can be synchronized to the same station clock. Refer to the specific card operation manual for a description of station clock support.

Power Supplies

LRS-24 operates with single or dual power supplies: AC or DC. Each power supply supports a full rack of cards of any combination. The redundant power supply can be replaced during operation, without affecting the system performance

(hot- swapping).
