STATUS MONITORING

Status Monitoring
3.1.

Chassis Interface Options

The Active MAXNET II product line can be monitored and controlled in either of two ways:
a)
A free, web-based interface. This comes pre-installed on every chassis and provides a user friendly method of
configuring the administrative setup and all monitoring and control. It is based on SNMP, but requires little knowledge
of SNMP. Any internet browser, such as Internet Explorer, is all the software that is required.
b)
Any third-party SNMP Management software (e.g. www.castlerock.com,
may be purchased separately. These suites tend to be expensive and not as user friendly as the web interface. The
web interface is also still required for administrative setup. The 3rd party interface is recommended only for systems
that have an existing SNMP architecture. All MIBs (Management Information Bases) are freely downloadable from
the SCTE (www.scte.org/standards). ATX was able to support all modules using the SCTE standard HMS MIBs, so
no custom MIBs are required.

SCTE HMS MIB Software Definition of Module

The headend RF Amp MIB is used to provide only an Output RF detector value, allowing HI and LO alarm thresholds to be
set.
3.3.

Web Interface

The MAXNET II chassis uses an integrated web page to supplement the SNMP management. All configuration of the chassis
(static IP address, trap/email recipients, firmware upgrades, etc) must be done through the web page. Simply use any web
browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc) and enter the IP address of the chassis as the URL. Login as administrator to modify
configuration and have full read/write access to monitor and control modules. Login as Operator to have full read/write
access or login as observer to have read-only access. There is only one password per login level.
