6 Management
Lite can be managed locally or remotely. Both in-band and out-band management are
realized through 3 types of management IP addresses. Lite can be managed by a Web-
based GUI (i.e., Link Viewer) or NetViewer. It can also be managed by other standard
third party management systems which support SNMP.
6.1 Web-based GUI (Link Viewer) Management
Through an embedded Link Viewer program in Lite, the user can access Lite system
through network to monitor, administer and configure it. More specifically, with this user-
friendly program, the user can perform the following tasks:
System general parameter management;
Radio parameter management;
Service management;
DCN management;
Software management;
Licensing management;
Performance management;
Maintenance.
6.2 Accessing
Lite supports the following 3 kinds of management IP addresses to guarantee the oper-
ators accessibility in any conditions.
Public IP to support the management through management VLAN.
The IP address, management VLAN and priority of the management IP are config-
urable.
Local management IP to support local access to Lite, collocated Lite and remote
Lite.
It supports direct connection between Lite and the management computer. The local
management IP is configurable.
Private IP to support Lite access when both public IP and local management IP are
lost.
This IP address only supports the access to local Lite and limited access to radio link
through the private in-band management channel.
6.3 SNMP Agent
Lite has an inbuilt simple network management protocol (SNMP) agent that provides
management functions for the whole radio terminal. Fault, performance and configura-
tion management functions can be performed using SNMP actions. The version sup-
ported is SNMP v2c.
6.4 SNTP, SFTP and SSH
The simple network time protocol (SNTP) functionality is used to update the real time
clock of the node by connecting to an NTP server, which must be accessible through the
IP-based DCN. The SNTP can be enabled or disabled in NetViewer.
