Management features

SNMP and MIB support

SNMP protocol has become a standard de facto for network devices management, maintenance and monitoring. Close to 100% of all available management software supports SNMP.

InfiNet Wireless units support both version 1 and version 3 of SNMP protocol. Version 1 is usually used for monitoring the units and gathering specific information whereas version 3 is also used for managing the unit and providing feedback to the network from management software. Moreover, a stronger point of version 3 is its PDU encryption in comparison to SNMP version 1.

Software has a support of SNMP-V3 with USM (User-based Security Model) and MD5 authentication excluding encryption. For access granting, a user with username, password and access rights (with or without authentication) is being created.

A variety of MIB files is available allowing network administrator keep a record of virtually any parameter of the unit. With enterprise MIB files, standard MIB II database is also available.

Configurable SNMP Traps

SNMP protocol allows a network agent to send asynchronous trap messages when some specific event occurs on the controlled device.

Software supports SNMP Traps with a centralized information delivery from internal router subsystems to the configured SNMP server.

Telnet

Software supports telnet protocol to enter a remote host. One can set up a connection with a remote host specified by the IP-address in the terminal emulation mode. MINT uses transparent symbols stream without any intermediate interpretation; therefore, the terminal type is defined by the terminal from which the command has been executed.

Graphical User Interface (for Windows)

• One can manage the network using Graphical User Interface application “InfiNet Wireless Router Manager”. With the help of the “InfiNet Wireless Router Manager” you can:
• View and change system parameters of the device
• View and change interfaces parameters of the device
• Obtain ARP table and routing table
• View interfaces statistics and interfaces current load statistics
• Setting up the unit
• View MINT neighbors table
• MINT protocol configuration
• View QoS channels work statistics 

Remote Shell

Software has RSH (remote shell) protocol support module. The built-in RSH server makes it possible remote command execution using the RSH program.

Identification is based on using privileged TCP ports and a list of authorized hosts.

Remote Shell support may be conveniently used for periodic reading of a router statistics for billing systems.
