information. The design of the software also prevents users from intruding on
other users and/or resources on the network. Security measures include:
Encrypted passwords
Multilevel configuration permissions
Network data encryption
Accounting and logging features provide protection from and information
about access attempts.

2.1.2 PC Network Configuration
Figure 2-1. Network connections.
To set up a network connection:
Access the TCP/IP properties from the control panel network connection
menu as shown in Figure 2-1. Verify the IP address, net mask, gateway,
and DNS server settings.
Execute a ping to verify connectivity, by typing “ping” followed by the target
SDIDU™ IP address at a command prompt.
2.1.3 Web browser
When accessing the software via the web interface, use one of the following web
browsers:

2-3

User Interface Manual
MDS FIVE Series
05-4574A01, Rev. C
Use Internet Explorer version 5.5 or above
Mozilla Firefox (latest version preferred)
Use the browser’s default settings. Refer to Section 6.2.1 and Section 6.2.2 for
intructions for obtaining a web browser.
The web interface also requires the use of Sun Java JVM version 1.2.2 or above.
Refer to Section 6.2.3 for intructions for obtaining Sun Java JVM.
2.1.4 Telnet/SSH client
When accessing the software via the CLI interface, use a telnet or SSH client. An
SSH client is similar to a telnet client except it accesses the target over a secure
connection.
Windows provides a Windows Standard telnet client that may be accessed
through the command prompt. An alternate telnet client may be used.
Refer to Section 6.2.4 for downloading PuTTY, a popular Telnet / SSH Client for
Windows.
2.1.5 SNMP
Configure SNMP manager for accessing the Target (Connected Product).
2.1.6 HyperTerminal
When connecting via a HyperTerminal program, use the following settings:
BaudRate=38400
Parity=none
DataBit=8
StopBit=1
The settings may be reconfigured based on system requirements.
2.2 Access rights for users
The system has five user access levels for configuring and viewing data through
the user interface. User accounts can be added and deleted for different access
levels. The five user levels and their corresponding user rights are described
below.
2.2.1 User Level 1 – Monitor
User has minimum access rights and can only view the following pages:

The web interface is a feature-filled graphical interface for configuring and
monitoring the terminal. Access to web interface is provided via a web browser
and a normal or secure connection.
To access the web interface:
1. Open a web browser (browser requirements are discussed in Section
2.1.3).
2. Type the IP address of the SDIDU™ in the address bar and press GO.
3. A popup window will prompt for a user name and password.
4. Enter a user name and password then press OK.
5. Upon successful authentication, the Starting Information Screen (Figure 3-
1) is displayed.

3.1.2 CLI Overview
The CLI provides a text based interface for configuring and monitoring the
terminal. The CLI is accessed by doing one of the following:
Using Ethernet interface,
1. Telnet / SSH to the terminal (using IP address of the terminal).
2. Enter a user name and password at the login prompt.
Using Serial interface,
1. Establish an RS232 connection using a serial terminal.
2. Enter a user name and password at the login prompt.
Upon successful authentication the ”General Information Screen” is displayed
(Figure 3-2). Switch to the “Main Menu” screen by pressing the M-key. From the
“Main Menu,” the user can navigate through various interface screens.
Figure 3-2. CLI starting information screen.
3.1.2.1 How to use CLI screens
3.1.2.1.1 Menu Screens
Menu screens are used to navigate between functions. They display a list of
navigation choices. Each choice is listed with a character encased within [ ]
braces, or “hotkey.” Press the “hotkey” to switch to the corresponding screen. For
example, in Figure 3-3, enter ‘a’ / ‘A’, to switch to the “General Information” screen
(the “General Information” screen is displayed in Figure 3-2).

Figure 3-3. CLI menu type screens.
3.1.2.2 Configurable Screens
Configurable screens are used to set various parameters. Figure 3-4 shows the
“General Network Configuration” screen, which is an example of a configurable
screen. Parameters are listed with their values and a “hotkey.” Press the “hotkey”
to configure the corresponding parameter. For example, enter ‘a’ / ‘A’, to edit IP
address, then press “Enter Key”. Some parameters may have a set list of values.
For example, the DHCP Client parameter has two values: Enabled and Disable.
To edit this type of parameter, press the corresponding “hotkey” (in this case “E”),
then press the “Space Bar”-key, to scroll through different values. Once the
desired value is displayed, press the “Enter”-key. If the parameter is displayed
without a “hotkey,” it indicates a read-only parameter.
Note
Further references to “hotkey” in this document will refer to the
character encapsulated in [ ] brackets for the individual parameter.

3.1.3 SNMP Overview
The SNMP agent interface provides a means of configuring the terminal using
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) commands.
3.1.3.1 MIBs
A Managed Information Base (MIB) file describes a type of device in a network as
a data structure. The SDIDU™ SNMP agent supports the following MIBs.
ccm_reg.mib: This MIB file contains the registration for Microwave Data
Systems enterprise OID and sub trees for Microwave Data Systems
products.
ccm_SDIDU.mib: This is the main MIB file for the SDIDU™ product.
ccm_SDIDU_v1Traps.mib: SDIDU™ product version 1 trap MIB file
Warning
In the CLI, there are two different types of parameter updates.
Some parameters are updated individually and others are
updated as a group.
To perform an Individual Update:
1. Edit the parameter value.
2. Press the “Enter”-key.
3. If update was successful, the message “Updated
Successfully” will be displayed.
4. If the update failed, a failure message will be displayed.
To perform a Group Update:
1. Edit the parameter value.
2. Press the “Enter”-key.
3. Press the character specified for “Update.”
4. If the update was successful, the message “Updated
Successfully” will be displayed.
5. If the update failed, a failure message will be displayed.
Warning
1. CLI screens should ideally be viewed at 25 rows by 80
columns (25 x 80).
2. A window of less than 25x80 will have incomplete
content.

The SNMP agent interface uses these MIB files to configure the system.
3.1.3.2 SNMP Agent Parameters
The SNMP agent interface configurable parameters are described in the following
sections..
If the agent is configured in “v3 only” or “v1-v2-v3” mode, SNMPv3 “admin” user
can configure the SNMP users. There are 4 possible levels of users. User levels
are same as described in Section 2.2.
The SNMP agent does not support level based access if the agent is configured
as “v1 only” or “v2 only” mode. In the case of v1 and v2 modes of operation,
Level1 access is given to the read operation and Level4 access is given for the
write operation. Thus, in v1 and v2 modes of operation, the user has full access to
system configurations if a valid write community string is used.
3.1.3.2.1 SNMP Mode
The SNMP agent can be configured to operate in any of the following modes:
disable
v1 only
v2 only
v3 only
v1-v2-v3
If the agent is configured to run as v1 only, v2 only or v3 only, then the user can
access the agent only using SNMP v1, v2 or v3 respectively.
If the agent is configured to operate in the v1-v2-v3 mode, then the user can
access the agent using SNMP v1, v2 or v3.
The SNMP agent is disabled by selecting the disable mode.
Note
WEB and CLI interfaces can be used to configure the SNMP
parameters below. Change in any of the parameters below
reconfigures the agent.
Note
SNMP v1 and v2 provides a weak security by using the
community strings. The user can always configure the SNMP
agent to operate in “v3 only” mode, which uses authentication as
well as encryption for secure transaction.
