Management
Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. F page 42
As noted in the “Getting Started” section, it is possible to use the telnet and HTTP interface to manage the SU from the AP side
of the wireless connection as long as switch #2 (TCP/IP for AP switch) is turned on at the SU. To turn on switch 2 (while
logged into the AP) use the following command:
su sw <su-id | all> 2 on
Example: su sw 2 all on (to turn on switch 2 for all associated SUs)
Note: Switch 2 default from factory is on.
Loading Multiple SUs into SUDB using DLOAD Command To load a full database of SU entries into the AP SUDB, you need to create a SUDB in ASCII text file format. As shown
below, each row represents all information for one SU. Each column is an information field, which includes: SU ID, SU to SU
group, service level, CIR, MIR, and MAC address.

1. telnet into the AP, run command tftpd on to enable tftp process
2. tftp the file to the AP from your DOS prompt example: tftp <IP of AP> put mySUs.txt
3. telnet into the AP
4. Run command sudb dload to load and activate the database
5. Run command sudb view to verify the database entries
Run command updateflash sudb to write the database to non-volatile memory.
Managing AP from SU side of Network The Access5830 was designed to prevent users on the SU side of the network from accessing the AP via telnet or HTTP
interface. If it is necessary for network administrators to access an AP from the SU side of the network the user must first
telnet into a router, or similar device, located behind the AP, then telnet from the router into the AP.
SNMP
The Access5830 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 accessibility and integrated accounting systems. 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).
The SNMP agent resides on the AP ONLY. It gathers health, status, and performance statistics from all SUs locally, then
responds back to the SNMP manager upon request.
Users interested in using the SNMP functionality should review the entire Access5830 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 Access5830 system.
