Displaying Modems at Remote IP Sites
With MultiCommManager, you can display information about modems at remote sites, even
halfway around the world. MultiCommManager can act as an SNMP proxy agent for racks and
modems that are attached to it (it speaks SNMP for racks and modems that can’t on their own). A
MultiCommManager system that is running as an SNMP proxy is called an agent.
This section describes how a supervisor MultiCommManager can view modems that are attached
to agents on the same TCP/IP network.
Running MultiCommManager as a Supervisor
To run MultiCommManager as a supervisor, you must be able to ping an agent’s IP address. If you
are unable to ping the agent, see “Solving Problems” in the online Help. When you can successfully
ping the agent, run MultiCommManager. The title bar shows your IP address and the mode you are
running in. The default mode is supervisor. To change to supervisor mode from another mode,
select Setup|SNMP| Mode|Supervisor. The title bar changes to reflect your selection.
Displaying an Agent and Its Modems
To display information about an agent, add it to the list of IP sites that MultiCommManager
monitors. To add an IP site, see “How to Add an IP Site” on the next page.
The IP icon of the new agent should be green. If it is not, see “Solving Problems” in the online Help.
To view the agent’s groups, double-click the icon for the IP site. You can now perform the same
actions on these remote modems as on local modems.
