Chapter 3 Management System 3.1. Introduction All of the features and controls described in this chapter require the FRM301 chassis to have both CPU Control card and SNMP card installed and configured. The Management System is a collection of three control modes for the FRM series. The simplest and most basic mode is "Terminal Mode". The terminal or console mode requires an ASCII based terminal and an RS-232 connection to the RS-232 console port of the SNMP card.
Chapter 3 Management System 3.2 Terminal Mode Control Port General The FRM301 SNMP Console Port, labeled RS-232 on the card face, is an RS-232 asynchronous console terminal port designed to facilitate monitoring the condition of all converter cards and links as well as setup of all SNMP parameters through the use of a standard text based terminal or any terminal emulation program running on a Personal Computer. Terminal Connection A notebook computer has become an invaluable tool of the Systems Engineer.
Chapter 3 Management System The settings for console port communication with the FRM301 are 38.4K baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control. In the HyperTerminal program terminal window click the "properties" icon and set the communication parameters as in the following graphics. Click the "Configure…" button in the properties window and set the port settings. When set properly, click "OK".
Chapter 3 Management System Menu System Detail To enter "terminal mode", a password may be required. Normally, there is no password set from the factory. The superuser password for the "terminal mode" is "1021". The user password provides security to protect the system. From a Telnet connection, if you enter the wrong password three times, the security system will not allow any login again for 15 minutes.

Chapter 3 Management System 3.3 TCP/IP Configuration General The Network Management modes that require TCP/IP communications must first have all TCP/IP configuration settings completed while in the "Terminal Mode". Once the settings are completed, the FRM301 SNMP card can be accessed by Telnet, the Windows GUI or via standard SNMP protocol. Two Step Configuration The configuration process is broken down into two logical steps.
Chapter 3 Management System 2: Use this key to set the SNMP card's subnet mask. 3: Use this key to set the SNMP card's default gateway. 4: Use this key to set the IP address of the TFTP server, for upgrading. 5: Use this key to set the path and filename of the upgrade image file. R: This key will reset all settings to factory default. S: This key will store the settings and reboot the SNMP with new settings. T: This key will initiate the TFTP image transfer and flash upgrade.
Chapter 3 Management System Conclusion Now that both the 'System' and 'Manager' settings are complete, the FRM301 is now ready to be managed remotely. The system provides a remote Telnet feature that allows login over TCP/IP networks and provides a menu display almost identical to that of the Terminal mode console. Some functions are disabled in the Telnet session. For example, you cannot change the FRM301 SNMP's IP address from remote Telnet. To do so would cause immediate disconnection.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting 5.4 Troubleshooting 5.41 Network Settings 5.41.1 Review Agent Settings During unit startup, the "SNMP" LED will light as the agent boots up, then it should blink at about one cycle per second after boot up and during normal operation. Refer to Chapter 3 section 3.1 for the SNMP agent settings. Be sure you have a valid IP address for the attached network, that the subnet mask is properly set and that the default gateway is set if you wish to manage the FRM from a remote network.
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting 5.41.2 Review Manager Settings For the GUIMGR to connect to the FRM for management, the FRM's SNMP must be properly configured with the manager's IP address and authorized for read/write (via community string setting) and trap messages. Review the settings explained in 2.5.2. Review the "Edit" settings in 3.2.3 of the GUIMGR application, and confirm that the monitor mode is set to "1", IP address and community string for read/write match those as set from section 3.3.
Appendix A A.1 SNMP Upgrade Procedure The purpose of this section is to outline the procedures and pitfalls in upgrading the SNMP of the FRM301. A.1.1 Preconditions The FRM301 must be using hardware version 2.0 SNMP card. The Control Card in the rack must be using version 2.17 CPU firmware version (as of this writing). If an SNMP option is being installed for the first time, you will also be installing a Control Card. Now would be the best time to be sure the Control Card has the latest firmware.
Appendix A A.3 Setup the FRM301 The following screens will show the detailed procedures to setup the networking for the FRM301 and prepare for TFTP upgrade of the SNMP. Once the console port is connected to a terminal, the following screen will display. ************************************************************** *** CTC UNION TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD V3.
Appendix A Select item 'S', "System Configuration and TFTP Setup" ************************************************************** *** CTC UNION TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD V3.45 *** *** FRM-301 Fiber Optical Media Converter Rack Management *** ************************************************************** System Configuration and TFTP Setup Menu: MAC Address : 0002AB091234 1:IP Address : 172.24.1.4 2:Subnet Mask : 255.255.0.0 3:Gateway IP : 172.24.190.254 4:TFTP Server IP : 172.24.1.
Appendix A When the agent comes back up on our terminal, enter the password, if required, and again go to the "System Configuration and TFTP Setup" menu. Press 'T' to start the TFTP upgrade. Press 'Y' to confirm. Sure to TFTP and Reset ?(Y/N) TFTP NOW, LOADING.... Loading ok! Please don't power off! Flashing now... oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Flash completed! System reset! Please wait... Attached TCP/IP interface to secEnd unit 0 Attaching interface lo0...
Appendix A Note that one transfer did occur. Watch the 'SNMP' LED on the SNMP card of the FRM301. When the LED returns to a constant 1 blink per second, the SNMP agent has rebooted. If this is an online upgrade, each line card will experience a brief (2 seconds) loss in transmission while the card is polled by the SNMP at boot time. You may now 'Close' the TFTP server on the PC.
Appendix A OK, now let's verify the version number of the SNMP. Login to the terminal of the FRM301. Note that the version is now 4.06. The '-17' denotes that the Control Card's CPU firmware version is 2.17. ************************************************************** *** CTC UNION TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD V4.06 -17[Oct.
