Snmp - Siemens HiPath 1100 Service Manual

Operation
HiPath 1100 applications
CDR data are sent to the CDR application (Call Detail Report Manager) through TCP/IP
sockets. CDR displays CDR information on the PC screen and stores it in text file format. It also
makes CDR data available to a printer or a serial port, for example, for billing using the Call
Report software.
Events for Call Detail Records received from the system are sent through TAPI messages to a
TSP (TAPI Server Provider) using TCP/IP sockets, to provide data to other applications.

SNMP

The SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol - is a TCP/IP protocol that provides a user-
friendly platform for managing software for systems connected to the TCP/IP network. The
SNMP is used practically as a "Management agent" on the HiPath 1100, allowing central
monitoring and management of the PABX.
Each PABX managed by the SNMP has a set of variables that store information on its current
state. This volume of data managed by the SNMP is defined in the MIBs - Management
Information Bases. MIBs are data models that describe all the necessary information for
managing the network.
To be able to access this information, you need to install and connect the LAN ports of the
SLIMC, SADSLIM, LIMC or ADSLIM modules to the TCP/IP network. That way, any available
information may be accessed from external management applications such as HP Open View.
In other words, the PABX is monitored by management software run in a server station. The
SNMP service will provide information to the PABX via the Agent when it receives requests
from the Manager connected via the TCP/IP network. The Agents and Managers communicate
using SNMP messages that control the external applications.
A new settings folder has been created in the Manager tool to allow the user to configure the
IP of the new ADSL module, enable the SNMP and configure the Community and TRAP
community.
