BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter User’s Guide : LTM-1343 B Draft 10/03/2001
Configuration
You must configure the BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter before you can use it.
There are two ways to configure the adapter:
:
locally through the serial communication port
:
remotely using a web browser or telnet utility
Configuring the Adapter Locally
The adapter has a configuration program that you can access by using a serial
cable to connect the adapter to a terminal or a computer with a terminal
emulation program.
If you choose to configure your adapter locally, see “Local Configuration” on
page 7.
Configuring the Adapter Remotely
You can configure the adapter remotely through a network using a web
browser or telnet utility.
NOTE Security-related parameters and some hardware parameters cannot be configured
from a web browser, but can be changed from the telnet utility.
If you choose to configure your adapter remotely, see “Remote Configuration”
on page 15.
