documentation.
1.1 Objectives
This user guide introduces Microsemi’s IPv4/IPv6 capable Outdoor Power View Pro Web, SNMP and
Telnet/SSH management features used for managing Microsemi’s Power over Ethernet (PoE) product line of
IPv4/IPv6 capable PoE devices, including:
Device list:
oPDS-104GO/AC/M –The PDS-104GO/AC/M is an outdoor PoE switch that enables connecting
four powered devices to the network. The switch will deliver PoE power per device up to 60W (for
ports 1,2 and up to 30W for ports 3,4. In addition, it enables remote monitoring and controlling of
the status of the devices. The major benefit of the PDS-104GO outdoor unit is that it extends the
maximum reach of the network switch by an additional 100 meters (to a total of 200 meters
between the switch and the powered devices), while providing up to 2 x 60 Watts and 2 x 30
watts to its network-powered PoE devices.
1.2 Audience
This guide is intended for network administrators, supervisors and installation technicians who have a
background in:

2 Introducing the Power View Pro (IPv4, IPv6)
Microsemi’s Power View Pro refers to the various management interfaces provided by the unit for remote
management, including Web, SNMP and Telnet. Management can be done over IPv4, IPv6 or both network
protocols. The system provides direct online power supervision, configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics of
Microsemi products via Web (HTTP/HTTPS) / SNMPv2c / SNMPv3 / Telnet / SSH.
2.1 Features
The manager provides a number of unique features along with multiple access options:
Supported network IP protocols:
oIPv4 –IP address is made out of 32 bits (static / DHCPv4).
oIPv6 –IP address is made out of 128 bits (static / DHCPv6).
Access Options:
oHTTP: Web-based friendly configuration interface for managing remote Outdoor Power over
Ethernet device.
oHTTPS - SSL/TLS: Secured Web-based friendly configuration interface for managing remote
Outdoor Power over Ethernet device.
oSNMP:
SNMPv2c for non-secured SNMP management
SNMPv3 for secured plus encrypted management
RFC1213 MIB-II Network statistics
RFC3621 Power over Ethernet (PoE) SNMP MIBs
Private MIB extension for RFC3621 PoE MIB
Various infrastructure and Network MIB's as IP-MIB, TCP-MIB, UDP-MIB, etc.
oTelnet: Remote terminal over IP Network
oSSH: Remote encrypted terminal over Ethernet Network
SysLog Server: Unit sends various log events to remote SysLog Servers.
Easy software update during run time without affecting active PoE ports.
Configuration and real-time monitoring using graphical representations of the remote device
System status display.
Automatic activation / deactivation of PoE ports based on a weekly schedule configuration.
Automatic PoE Ports reset based on a weekly schedule configuration.

2.2 System Network Management Capabilities
The unit can be accessed from any computer using any Web browser, SNMPv2c/SNMPv3 management
station, Telnet/SSH.
Web Interface –used to view unit PoE and network status, unit configuration and view unit production
information.
SNMP v2/v3 –Monitor unit over the network (MIB-II RFC1213), monitor / configure unit PoE
capabilities (RFC3621).
Telnet/SSH –used to view unit PoE and network status, unit configuration and production information.
Software update, enable/disable PoE functionality, ping remote network devices for connectivity tests.
SNMP Traps –used to report various PoE events such as PoE PD insertion / removal.
SysLog –used to report PoE events, invalid remote user access, initial DHCPv4/v6 address, etc.
2.3 Ethernet Switch Network Capabilities
10Mbit/100Mbit/1000Mbit Half-Duplex / Full-Duplex Ethernet speed
8K internal MAC address lookup engine
Auto MDIX
Jumbo frames
2.4 PoE Capabilities
The following PoE options are available:
Two 4Pair PoE Ports - Delivers up to 60 watts per port.
Two IEEE 802.3at –Delivers up to 30 watts per port.
PoE Enable/Disable –Enable/disable PoE ports power output (Ethernet data is always enabled).
Weekly Schedule PoE Port Reset –Automatic PoE Ports reset based on time of day.
Weekly Schedule PoE Port Activation –Automatic activation/deactivation of PoE ports based on time
of day (Ethernet data flow for disabled PoE port remains enabled, however no PoE power is being
applied).
Remote device reset –Turning temporary device power off and back on resets attached PD device.
2.5 Configuration Options
Web-based: Via a Web browser (HTTP/HTTPS)
SNMPv1/2c/3: Via an SNMP management application on a remote computer
Telnet/SSH: Via a Telnet/SSH client on a remote computer. Please note that by default the unit
is shipped with Telnet enabled and SSH disabled.
NOTE:
The unit default IPv4 address is 192.168.0.50. Make sure that a computer network card is
configured to the same IPv4 network (for example 192.168.0.40).
NOTE:
For security reasons, when the unit is shipped the SNMP is disabled. Prior to enabling
SNMP, modify SNMP community strings and only then enable it.
2.6 Security and User Authentication
Web HTTPS/HTTPS, Telnet/SSH, SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 offer different security strength

2.6.1 Web HTTP/HTTPS, Telnet/SSH –Username & Password
Web HTTPS/HTTPS, Telnet and SSH share the same username and password.
2.6.2 SNMP Security
SNMP v1/v2: Community string is utilized for Get/Set/Trap authentication. SNMPv1/v2 is considered
as unsecured protocol since the community string password can be easily intercepted by any network
sniffing device.
SNMP v3: Resolves SNMPv1/v2 security issues by adding authentication and encryption to layer on
top of SNMP packets.
2.7 Default unit IP, username and password
The unit is shipped with the following factory default usernames and passwords:
NOTE:
Default IP address:
IP = 192.168.0.50
Mask = 255.255.255.0
Web/Telnet:
Username = ”admin”
password = ”password”
SNMP v2:
GET community string =”public”
SET community string = "private"
SNMP v3:
user name =”admin”
authentication password (MD5) = ”password”
privacy password (DES)= ”password”
Username, password recovery:
For username and password recovery, whenever unit username or password were
changed and are unavailable to the user, please refer to Section 9, Recovering from Unknown
Username, Password.
