The LM1100 SNMP Enabler is an optional interface card which may be fitted to various Metrodata DSU’s. It provides the capability to control and monitor the DSU via a 10BaseT Ethernet interface.

LM1100: SNMP Enabler Interface Card

A typical application for the LM1100 would be the control and management of a WAN (Wide Area Network) from a LAN (Local Area Network) link using a SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) NMS (Network Management System).

The LM1100 SNMP Enabler supports a variety of Management Information Bases (MIB’s) which must be provided to the User’s Network Management System (NMS) to provide the NMS with a database of managed objects.

In addition to SNMP statistics which are obtained by polling round the network, SNMP also provides Traps which enable important unsolicited messages relating to the system to be handled on an interrupt basis.

The LM1100 SNMP Enabler in combination with a Metrodata DSU gives the Network Manager or Administrator extensive visibility and control of the Wide Area link. The ability to monitor performance statistics and network errors from a centralised point enables quick corrective action to be taken thereby enhancing network efficiency, and providing information which can help to diagnose problems and manage even the most complex networks.
