a configuration file stored in flash memory in the MR4800E rack controller or on the hard
disk of an independent management PC. Because configuration files can be assigned to one or
more modems, the configuration of a group of modems can be changed by editing a single file.
• The
Security Database Editor
also exists for MultiModemManager legacy support. It enables the
administrator to create and maintain a security database of system users for MR4800 and
MR4800E racks. A database record includes the user ID, password, valid dates and times of
access, and security type.
For detailed information about how to use the menus, commands, and dialog boxes in these
modules, please see MultiCommManager Help.
Local Sites vs. Remote Sites
MultiCommManager can manage both local sites and remote sites. What is the difference?
• A
local site
is one or more racks connected to the management console through an Arcnet card
called the Management Interface Card, or MIC. Local sites are also known as
MultiModemManager legacy link sites, because they typically consist of MultiModemManager
racks with MR4800 controllers. Thus, “local,” “legacy,” and “MultiModemManager legacy link”
all refer to the same thing.
If the Manager is configured as an agent, it can act as an SNMP proxy agent for the local racks
and can be managed by a third party SNMP manager or by a Manager configured as a
supervisor.
• A
remote site
is an SNMP rack that can be managed through the Internet. It need not be
physically remote from the management console. Remote sites can be MultiModemManager
racks with MR4800E controllers or CommPlete Communications Server racks with MR9600
controllers.
