Software Overview
Configuration
The PacketWave 600 Series equipment is configured using the Advanced Configuration
Manager (AIM) described in Chapter 2. The resulting configuration file is saved into the
unit’s permanent memory.
Some configuration of equipment can be performed via the Web GUI or SNMP. If desired,
these configuration changes can be made permanent by saving them into the unit’s per-
manent memory. If configuration changes are made via the Web GUI or SNMP is not saved,
they will be lost when the Indoor Unit is reset or re-powered. See Chapter 3 and 4 for more
details on Web GUI.
SNMP
Each Indoor Unit includes an SNMP agent supporting the following MIBs:
• SNMP MIB (RFC 1157)
• MIB II (RFC 1213)
• Aperto private MIB
The complete MIBs are provided on the PacketWave CD-ROM. SNMP can be used to read
configuration, status, and performance data from PacketWave 600 Series Units. In addi-
tion, SNMP can be used to change some configuration parameters (those which can be
changed via the Web GUI), and to upload the configuration changes to the unit’s perma-
nent memory.
The SNMP agents support trap reporting. Trap-reporting parameters can be specified via
the Web GUI as well as via SNMP.
Event Reporting
PacketWave 600 Series Units offer several means of reporting equipment events:
• E-mail messages — The Subscriber Unit can be configured (via the Web GUI, or
SNMP) to report events via e-mail to specified addresses.
• SNMP traps — The Indoor Unit’s SNMP agent supports trap reporting. Trap-report-
ing parameters can be specified via the Web GUI, or SNMP.
• Event log — A historical event log can be presented on request via the Web GUI.
For information about specific subscriber equipment events which can be reported, see
Appendix B.
