CEFD CDM-850 SNMP

The Comtech CEFD CDM-850 provides high-performance satellite-based communication solutions for a diverse range of applications.

About

The CEFD CDM-850 connector is used to monitor and control a CEFD CDM-850 device. This connector uses SNMP communication to retrieve and configure the data of the device. The CDM-850 can send out SNMP traps when certain events occur in the modem. A trap is sent both when a fault occurs and when a fault is cleared.

Connections

SNMP Main Connection

This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and needs following user information:

SNMP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 10.11.12.13
  • Device address: Not used.

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161
  • Get community string: The community string in order to read from the device. The default value is public.
  • Set community string: The community string in order to set to the device. The default value is private.

Web Interface

The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.
