Configuration
Connections
HTTP Connection
This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:
HTTP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
IP Dataplane SSH Connection
This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SERIAL CONNECTION:
IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
Port:
- The Telnet port of the device (1.0.0.x).
- The SSH port of the device (1.0.1.x), by default 222.
SNMP Connection
This connector uses an SNMP connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SNMP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
- Port: Default is 161.
- Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device. The default value is public.
- Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device. The default value is private.
IP Linux SSH Connection
This connector uses an SSH connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SSH CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
- Port: The SSH port of the device (1.0.3.x), by default 22.
IP Controlplane SSH Connection
This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SERIAL CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
- Port: The SSH port of the device (1.0.4.x), by default 223.
Initialization
To make sure the full functionality of the element becomes available, you must enter a valid username and password to connect to the device. To do so, on the Security page, fill in the correct username and password.
From version 1.0.2.x onwards, you also need to fill in the Device IP on the General page to support SNMP traps.
From version 1.0.3.x onwards, on the Polling Manager subpage of the General page, you can enable or disable the polling of specific groups and control the polling interval for the groups.
Web Interface
The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.
Usage
General
This page displays the System Information and HPM Information, including the System Name, Serial Number, Part Number, and other general parameters. The Save Configuration button will execute the command "write memory confirm".
Metrics
This page displays System Voltage Information and Temperature Information.
Units
This page displays the Power Supplies and Cooling Units tables.
Slots
This page displays the Slots table. A refresh mechanism will refresh the status of the child elements.
Interfaces
This page displays the Interfaces table.
Applications
This page displays the Applications and Application Instances tables.
Events
This page displays the Events table.
Disks
This page displays the Disk Usage table.
Security
On this page, you can define the Username and Password to connect to the device.
Explorer
On this page, you can send a single command and check the output of that command.
Dataplane Interfaces and Controlplane Interfaces
This page displays the Network Interfaces and Network Interfaces Counters tables. It also allows you to clear all counters of the device.

DataMiner Connectivity Framework
The 1.0.0.x range of the Aperi Chassis connector supports the usage of DCF.
DCF can also be implemented through the DataMiner DCF user interface and DataMiner third-party protocols (for instance a manager).
