14 Link CX User Manual, Version A
• SNMP agent in the Link CX.
The workstation manages all Link CXs assigned unique IP addresses. The workstation also provides a
graphical display of the network objects showing the status, performance, and configuration parameters
of each Link CX radio.
The SNMP local agent is a standard MIB-II compliant software module that resides in each Link CX. The
agent collects information from different Link CX components as defined in the Management
Information Base (MIB) structure. The Link CX incorporates both standard and private MIBs.
Different Link CXs are distinguished by their customer-assigned IP addresses. The Web browser
communicates with the Link CX using TCP/IP and HTTP protocol.
The NMS data transfer between the manager and the agents is accomplished using either polling or
trapping techniques.
Polling
The NMS polls each Link CX SNMP agent at specific intervals. These are set according to user
requirements during SNMP NMS configuration.
Traps
The Link CX agent sends an SNMP trap to the manager whenever a predefined event occurs. Groups of
traps can be defined according to their level of severity. The operator can choose to enable or disable
any traps or group of traps according to their level of severity (and his or her own security level). Traps
can be logged using any standard SNMP manager.
1-4.12 NMS Connectivity
The NMS workstation can access any Link CX using its IP address. The NMS workstation can connect to
each Link CX using any of the following methods:
• 10/100 Base-T Ethernet - accessing Link CXs via a LAN through hubs, switches or routers.
• Cascading Ethernet links transport NMS information between colocated Link CXs. This is
done by daisy-chaining the ETHERNET 1 and ETHERNET 2 ports between Link CX radios
using straight-pinned or crossover Ethernet cables.
1-4.13 Web-Based GUI Access Security
Access to the Web-based GUI (graphical user interface) is limited by username and password, which is
available at different levels of security as follows:
• User - Read only privilege.
• Administrator - Read/partial write privilege. The administrator cannot cause an radio link to
reset by changing critical parameters.
• Supervisor - Full read/write privilege.
