Chapter 1. Overview Of Base Station
1.3.2.4 DNS Server
The DHCP server should identify a DNS server to be used in the resolution of Internet
domain names. This can be configured through the server configuration tool under
DHCP settings. A DNS Server is not included in EMS.
1.3.2.5 SMTP Server
The PacketMax Base Station Unit can use E-mail to announce events. If this feature
is to be used, an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server must be specified. A
SMTP Server is not included in EMS.
1.3.2.6 System Log Server (Syslog)
If a Syslog server is identified in the BS configuration, the Base Station will log all
events to the specified server using the standard Syslog protocol. A Syslog Server is
not included in EMS.
NOTE:
Syslog is needed to effectively monitor the PacketMax system. Ser-
vice providers should install this server in their network.
1.3.2.7 SNMP Manager
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an industry standard for manage-
ment of computer networks. PacketMax Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor
Units include built-in SNMP agents. These agents can be accessed by SNMP man-
agement applications such as WaveCenter EMS Pro.
NOTE:
PacketMax SNMP agents use SNMP v.2 syntax for objects.
1.3.3 MIBs
Each PacketMax BS and SS includes a SNMP agent supporting the following MIBs:
MIB II (RFC 1213)
Aperto private MIB
Wimax-IF-MIB (objects for 802.16 based SS and BS)
The complete MIBs are provided on the PacketMax CD-ROM, and are available on
the Aperto Web site,
www.apertonet.com
.
SNMP can be used to read configuration, status, and performance data from Sub-
scriber Units. In addition, SNMP can be used to change some configuration parame-
ters (those which can be changed via the Configuration Manager in EMS), and to
upload the configuration changes to the TFTP server (if the TFTP server is configured
to accept uploads).
The SNMP agents support trap reporting. Trap-reporting parameters can be specified
via the Configuration Manager as well as via SNMP.
NOTE:
Changes to the IP addresses of SNMP servers do not take place until
a system reboot.
