Introduction
2-4 SM-1H1.0002, Rev. 1, July 2009
Capable of communicating over any type of public or private, wireless or wireless IP-based
WAN, the TIM transmits SNMP-based Trap/Inform messages when any alarm situation is
confirmed, and delivers periodic operating information and health check messages. SNMP-
based TIM devices are configured to deliver SNMP Trap/Inform encoded alarm and status
messages to properly configured SNMP host applications.
The TIM contains a powerful CPU and communication platform (called ZyWAN), event-driven
architecture, and a flexible, publish-subscribe network messaging methodology based on IBM
WebSphere
TM
, maximizing the system's ability to interoperate with other databases and existing
office systems. This application of the TIM currently uses SNMP, rather than publish-subscribe
and WebSphere capabilities.
2.5. Front Panel Inputs, Outputs, and Controls
See Figure 2-1.
2.5.1. ETH0 and ETH1
The front panel Ethernet ports may be used for a variety of purposes, including:
• Connecting a laptop or other browser equipped device for locally configuring and
controlling the unit.
• As a LAN for connecting other Ethernet based accessories including network cameras,
network switches and hubs.
• To connect to a private wired or wireless WAN. Note that this typically requires
coordination with the user's IT department to establish necessary secure communications
between the private network and the shared TIM host. Contact ASTS USA Customer
Support for assistance for connecting the TIM to a private wired or wireless network.
• Numerous security, firewall, routing, and server functions can be established for the front
panel Ethernet ports. Contact ASTS USA customer support for additional assistance.
2.5.2. USB Port
The front panel USB port is primarily used for downloading and capturing information, and for
introducing new feature and software updates into the TIM.
2.5.3. Serial Ports 1 and 2
Serial Ports 1 and 2 have a number of uses. They are typically used to provide terminal server
pass-through services to external, serially connected equipment. This allows secure remote
access to these legacy devices, reducing the trips that must otherwise be taken to remote sites.
In this application of the TIM, a serial port also provides the data connection to the MLK.
