The fiber optic signal is more than 0dBm. This signal is fed to 1310/1550 WDM coupler. The RX board takes in the fiber optic signal (1310nm) from the other WDM coupler and converts it to L-band signal Digital Transceiver Board /1550 WDM coupler This transceiver board consists of two sections: the transmitter section can convert the digital signal to 1550nm fiber optic signal. This signal is more than -10dBm. And the receiver section can convert the 1550nm fiber optic signal to digital signal. This board supports data-rate of 155Mbps and transmission distance 80km. The 1550nm fiber optic signal from transmitter section is fed to the WDM coupler with the other 1310nm fiber optic signal from the TX board. And the receiver section takes in the 1550nm fiber optic signal from the WDM coupler with the other 1310nm fiber optic signal from the RX board. There are two WDM couplers. One is for transmitter side; the other is for receiver side. The coupler in transmitter side is coupling the 1310nm optic signal from TX board and 1550nm fiber optic signal from transceiver board, and sends out through FC/APC connector. This coupler has 30dB isolation between 1310nm and 1550nm signals. The coupler in receiver side split the input signal of 1310nm and 1550nm to RX board and transceiver board Power Supply DiSEqC The power supply board includes AC/DC converter, DC/DC converter, and provides voltage of 5V. The Digital Satellite Equipment Control (DiSEqC) is available in the AFOT04N52 product model (Agilis Fiber Optic Transceiver with DiSEqC console). The DiSEqC Console port supports RJ45 connection that directly communicates with an indoor terminal such as a PC.

45 Chapter 3 Maintenance & Troubleshooting 4.3 Monitor & Control via SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a framework for the definition of management information and the exchange of that information. A SNMP manager is a software module that manages part or all of the system configurations while an agent is a software module in the unit that is being managed. Transfer of information can be initiated by both the manager (via polling) and the agent (via SNMP Trap). By default, the manager initiates requests and receives responses via port 161. The agent sends SNMP Trap messages via port 162. A database describing the unit s application parameters is stored in the SNMP agent. This SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) database is used to interpret the signals requested and received between the manager and agent. The database includes both a standard set of values common to hardware nodes on a network and a private set of values that is unique to the specific unit. Object Identifiers (OID) are a series of numbers that uniquely identify variable to an SNMP agent. OIDs are arranged in a hierarchical tree structure. The figure below shows the categorization of AFOT parameters that are used in defining the MIBs for SNMP enabled Agilis products. Note: This figure shows the full set of categories and does not apply to all Agilis products. The set of parameters that are available in each Agilis product will differ. Figure 4.19 SNMP MIB categories IM Rev. B 39

46 Chapter 3 Maintenance & Troubleshooting Connecting the PC to the AFOT You can monitor and control the AFOT using an SNMP manager via an Ethernet connection. Connect your PC LAN port to the AFOT RJ45 port using a standard Ethernet cable. M&C Cable (RJ45) Figure 4.20 Connecting via Ethernet connection Connecting to the SNMP Interface Once your AFOT is physically connected to the PC, follow the procedure below to connect the SNMP agent module to a SNMP manager in your PC. Step 1 Activate your SNMP manager. Agilis products will work with most standard SNMP managers available in the market. Note: For the purpose of this manual, all screenshots in this section are made using the SNMP Manager from ireasoning. You can download or purchase any standard third party SNMP Manager software and install it into your PC. Step 2 In the SNMP manager, enter the AFOT s access IP address. The following show the default configuration: Agent IP: Subnet Mask: SNMP Manager: Step 3 Insert the CD included in your package into your PC s disc drive and load the MIB definition file ( AGILIS-PROD-XXX-MIB.mib ) into your SNMP manager. You can also download the MIB definition file from our website at IM Rev. B 40

47 Chapter 3 Maintenance & Troubleshooting Once the file has been loaded, a tree structure should be displayed in your manager as shown below. Table 4-3 AFOT MIB tree Managing the AFOT via SNMP Manager NAVIGATING THE MIB TREE Table 4-4 Navigating the MIB Tree IM Rev. B 41

48 Chapter 3 Maintenance & Troubleshooting Each item in the tree is called a node. A parent or root node can be expanded into branches. You can view each branch by clicking the +/- icons in the tree. Each branch eventually terminates at leaf nodes. To search for a specific node within a branch, right-click on the parent node of that branch and select Search and type the name of the node to search for. You can expand or collapse the entire tree or branch by right-clicking on the parent node and selecting the Expand subtree or Collapse subtree option. UNDERSTANDING SNMP OPERATIONS The full set of SNMP commands that can be initiated from the SNMP manager is explained in the table below. To execute a command on any node in the tree, simply select the node and right-click. From the menu that appears, select the command to execute. Note that not all commands are available for every object in the tree. Table 4-5 SNMP Commands SNMP Command Explanation GET GET NEXT GET BULK GET SUBTREE SET WALK TABLE VIEW Used to obtain a single piece of information from the AFOT such as the Device ID etc. Used to obtain two pieces of information from the selected object and the next object. Used to obtain multiple pieces of information from the AFOT at once. Used to poll for information corresponding to all objects within the subtree. Used to configure a specific parameter in the AFOT. Note that this command will only be available for configurable parameters. Used to poll for all data from the objects within the tree. Used to poll for and view data table of an object.
