2.0 EMBEDDED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

2.1 Introduction

The transceiver's embedded management system is accessible through various data interfaces. These
include the COM1 ( serial) port,
available through any of these paths.
For SNMP management, the transceiver is compatible with MDS PulseNET software. Refer to the docu-
mentation provided with the software. For support of other SNMP software, a set of MIB files is available
for download from the GE MDS Web site at www.gedigitalenergy.com/Communications. A brief sum-
mary of SNMP commands can be found at section 2.4.5 on page 36 of this manual.
The transceiver's Management System and its functions are divided into the following menu groups:
• "Basic Device Information" on Page 22
• "Login Status Menu" on Page 27
• "Radio Configuration" on Page 40
• "Configuring the Serial Ports" on Page 49
• "Cyber Security Configuration" on Page 64
• "Performance Verification" on Page 69
• "Maintenance" on Page 82
Each of these sections has a focus that is reflected in its heading. The section you are now reading provides
information on connecting to the Management System, how to navigate through it, how it is structured, and
how to perform top-level configuration tasks. Figure 2-1 on the following page shows a top-level view of
the Management System (MS).
