The system provides direct on-line power supervision, configuration, monitoring and diagnostics of PowerDsine products via their SNMP managers. NOTE: The principle of operation is similar for all Midspan models described in this manual 2.2 Features The manager provides a number of unique features for PoE Midspan management as follows: HTTP - Web based for remote management of Power over Ethernet device SSL - Secured WEB based configuration Configuration using graphical representations of remote device SNMPv2c/v1/v3 RFC3621 Power over Ethernet (PoE) SNMP MIBs Private MIB extension to RFC3621 PoE MIB Telnet ­ Remote terminal over Ethernet Network Real time monitoring with visual status System status display SysLog Server - Log events to remote SysLog Server PowerDsine 9 Power over Ethernet Solutions Remote Web Managers 2.3 System Capabilities The manager can be accessed from any computer by WEB browser such as an Internt Explorer/Netscape, SNMP management station, Telnet, or RS232 Terminal. The Power View Pro allows monitoring and controlling of over Etehrnet IP networks as shown in Figure 2-1: Figure 2-1: Management Deployment 2.3.1 Configuration options · Web based ­ by utilizing a WEB browser · SNMPv1/2c/3 ­ by utilizing an SNMP management application on a remote computer · Telnet ­ via the RJ45 Etehrnet port by using Telent application on a remote computer · Serial communication port ­ by using Terminal emulation software such as Microsoft Windows Hyper Terminal, or any similar software. · Serial communication rate must be set to 38400, no hardware flow control and cross cable should be used (pin2 crossed with pin3). PowerDsine 10 Power over Ethernet Solutions Remote Web Managers NOTE: The unit is shipped with default IP of 192.168.0.50. Make sure that a computer Network card is configured to the same IP network. · Telnet and WEB configuration are password protected. · Serial communication configuration should be used in order to define the unit's IP address, upload / download unit configuration, restore unit configuration to factory default, or perform software updates. Any other configuration should be carried out via the WEB browser. 2.4 2.4.1 Security & User Authentication Web Configuration Web configuration can be protected by user by password. Two user & password protection levels are avilable as follow: · View username & password ­ a remote user has access to Web pages that provide various information, but has no permission to perform any modifications. Configuration username & password - a remote user (usually administrator) has full authority to modify any unit's parameter. · 2.4.2 SNMP · · SNMP v1/v2 - community string is utilized for authentication Get/Set/Trap authentication. SNMP v3 ­ Network Management Protocol Version-3 (SNMPv3) is an standards-based protocol, utilized for network management. It provides secure access to devices by a combination of authenticating and encrypting packets over the network. PowerDsine 11 Power over Ethernet Solutions Remote Web Managers 2.4.3 Telnet Configuration Since Telnet provide access to IP configuration, software updates and data bases upload/download functions, it is always password protected (regardless of Web view & configure password selection option). WEB and Telnet utilize the same passwords (Telnet utilizes Web browser password even if the Web password function is disabled). NOTE: The Power View Pro is provided with the following factory defaults: Protection: Configuration password protection WEB/Telnet: View (usually user) : user name ="user", password ="password" Configure (usually administrator): user name ="admin", password = "password". SNMP v3: Guest (usually remote SNMP manager) : user name ="public" View User (usually user) : user name ="view", authentication password (MD5) = "password", : privacy password (DES)= "password", Admin User (usually administrator) : user name ="admin", authentication password (MD5) = "password", : privacy password (DES)= "password", PowerDsine 12 Power over Ethernet Solutions Remote Web Managers 3 Installation 3.1 3.1.1 Installation Configuration Options The following configuration options are available: Via an RJ-45 network connector utilizing a Web browser (IP 192.168.0.50).
