ASMi-52 Ver. 2.8 Configuration and Management Alternatives 3-7
the system parameters is performed via an ASCII terminal. Once the ASMi-52
host IP parameters are set, it is possible to access it via Telnet, ConfiguRAD,
or RADview-Lite for further configuration.
• Remote management via out-of-band 10/100BaseT port or dedicated
timeslot. Remote management is performed using Telnet, or ConfiguRAD
(RAD’s Web-based application), or RADview (RAD’s SNMP-based management
system).
Managing ASMi-52 via Ethernet Port
ASMi-52 is equipped with an Ethernet/Fast Ethernet port (10/100BaseT) which
enables communication with ASMi-52 management subsystem using the IP
protocol (see
Figure 3-8 ). The Ethernet management port is configured for a LAN
cross-over connection.
³ To prepare ASMi-52 for network management:
1. Connect a LAN network management station to the ASMi-52 Ethernet port
designated 10/100BaseT.
2. Configure the host IP parameters of the ASMi-52 unit via an ASCII terminal.
3. Run an SNMP management application, such as RAD’s RADview, open a Telnet
session, or manage ASMi-52 via ConfiguRAD.
Managing ASMi-52 via a Dedicated Timeslot
ASMi-52 modems with E1 or T1 interface can be managed via a dedicated E1/T1
timeslot (DTS) (see
Figure 3-8 ).
The DTS is a management channel that connects directly to the ASMi-52 host
using a separate IP interface, i.e., separate IP address and IP mask. If the LAN and
dedicated timeslot services are configured to have the same IP, the management
session over the dedicated timeslot has priority over management via the
10/100BaseT port.
1. Connect the E1/T1 line to the ASMi-52 E1 or T1 port.
2. Start a terminal management session and do the following:
 Assign an IP address and an IP mask to the dedicated timeslot interface
 Enable DTS management
 Assign an E1/T1 timeslot for the management traffic.
3. Run an SNMP management application, such as RAD’s RADview, open Telnet
session, or manage ASMi-52 via
ConfiguRAD
