SDM GUI Screen Components
The SDM Main Screen displays the Menu bar, View List, Active Window, Alarm Summary, and Status
area.
Menu bar - provides access to drop down menus containing SDM commands.
View List - shows a tree list of available views including Networks, Groups, Inventory, and Fault
Management (Events and Alarms).
Active Window - displays items that have been selected in the View List. The Active Window
background can be modified.
Alarm Summary - displays an overview of the active alarms and allows you to display the alarms of a
selected severity and category in the Active Window. You can click on any cell in the Alarm Summary to
obtain additional alarm detail.
Status area - displays status and broadcast messages.
A colored bar displayed above each icon indicates the items overall alarm status.
Each devices name is used as a label. However, if no name was configured in the host file prior to
discovering the device, the IP address is used as the label.

SDM GUI Navigation Elements
Networks: Devices can be viewed based on network connectivity. The SDM automatically discovers
connected networks and devices within them.
Groups: A group is a user defined collection of devices by IP addresses, regional location, device type,
etc. Clicking on a groups name shows all of the elements inside of that group. The group Unassigned
always exists, and contains all devices that do not fit into a user defined group.
Inventory: Displays a list of all devices in the SDMs database in tabular format.
Fault Management > Network Events: A list of all events, or a subset of events associated with a
device, group, or network node
Fault Management > Alarms: A list of all alarms, or a subset of alarms associated with a device, group,
or network node.

Step 3 Edit host File (optional)
If you want device names to be displayed in SDM, you must enter the device IP addresses and names in
the host file. This must be done before you discover or add devices. If the names of the devices are not
added to the host file, the devices are named by their IP addresses.
Any changes in the host file to devices that were already discovered or added by SDM require those
devices to be deleted and rediscovered.

Page 26
Initial Configuration
Step 4a Add Groups
Configuration>Add Group
A device group is any grouping of devices that you define, by IP address range and device type. For
example, you can create a device group for separate headends, subsets of headends, or groupings of
same device types.
A group is defined only on the New Group window; however, devices are assigned to a group manually, or
through device discovery, using network mapping. When using device discovery network mapping, you
can specify a single device by IP address, or multiple devices within a specified IP range, and this range
can be further defined optionally by device type. It is not necessary to define groups before discovering
devices for the SDM; however, if discovered devices are to be associated with a specific group, it is better
to define the group first, followed by the network mapping.
For example, if you create a device group called Headend A, define it to contain devices in the IP address
range of 165.137.103.11 to 165.137.103.40, and then discover a device with an IP address of
165.137.103.20, this device will automatically be assigned to the device group Headend A.

Initial Configuration
Step 4b Configure Network Mappings
You can define IP address ranges and device types that should be
associated with groups to assist with device discovery.
Click Add to define another IP address range for the selected group.

Step 5 Discover Devices
Configuration>Discover Devices
Discovery is the process by which the SDM automatically adds existing, pre-configured (IP provisioned)
devices to the SDM. The discovery process can be performed any time by:
1. Selecting a managed network in the Discovery Management window
2. Clicking on the Start Discovery button.
This will start the discovery process in the background. You can continue to work on the SDM while the
discovery is in progress. You can also click the Refresh button to update the status display. When the
discovery is completed, the status will be FINISHED. You can also cancel the discovery process by
clicking Stop Discovery.
Once you press the Discover button, the discovery process is kicked off in the background. If you wish to
cancel the discovery process, click Cancel Discovery. To update the Discovery Status field, press the
Refresh button.
Discovering a large range of IP addresses could take a considerable amount of time. Therefore, try to
keep the IP address range as small as possible when performing device discovery.

Initial Configuration
Step 6 Set Trap Receiver Address
Configuration>Global Parameters
For proper SDM operation, set the Trap Receiver IP address for the devices. Setting the trap receiver
address instructs the devices to send all of their SNMP traps to the SDM or other network management
device within the network.
Note: If you would like the SDM manage BOOTP requests you may want to set the Process BOOTP
Request to Conditional globally.

Device Configuration
The Configuration & Status tab in any devices Properties window allows you to configure all of the
devices parameters.
Page 35
Device Configuration
When configuring devices using the SDM, fields will sometimes turn
green, yellow, blue or red.
Yellow: The parameter you chose is invalid. This change will not be
applied.
Blue: The parameter has been applied to the SDM but not the device.
A reboot of the device is typically required to apply this change to
the device.
Page 36
Upgrading Firmware
Step 1: Load the target firmware (Administration>Firmware Management)
Step 2: Upgrade the selected device in the SDMs database
(Configuration>Upgrade Device Firmware)
Upgrading device firmware does not actually force an update to the device. The device must have
Conditional or Unconditional BOOTP control enabled in the device Properties window (Administration
tab) and the device must be rebooted.
Page 37
Upgrading Firmware - BOOTP
Step 3: Verify that the BOOTP setting is set to Conditional or
Unconditional for each device youre upgrading
Step 4: Reboot each device
BOOTP:
The Process BOOTP Request section allows you to configure BOOTP parameters. The three options are:
Unconditional: The SDM will send a response back each time a BOOTP request is made.
Conditional (Recommended for devices managed by the SDM): The BOOTP request will only be
processed when a pending change requires it.
Disable: All BOOTP requests will be ignored. (This is the default when discovering or adding a
device.)
Page 38
Device Administration
Managed:
When a device is first discovered it is automatically marked as a managed device. When a device is
managed, the SDM can determine the devices current status by retrieving the alarm status from the
device.
When a device is unmanaged the alarm status is grayed out and the discovery process does not retrieve
the devices current alarm status. Additionally, status polling is disabled, traps are not processed, and
performance polling is disabled for the device.
Management Operations:
Reboot:
Reboot: Reboot a device that has already been configured with an IP address.
(To reboot a new or unconfigured device, cycle power to that device.)
Force Download: Reloads the Entire firmware image for the device during next BOOTP. (Unconditional
must be checked.)
Reapply Configuration:
All: Resend all device configuration settings via SNMP.
Not Applied: Resend configuration changes not previously applied.
Synchronize:
Configuration: Synchronize the devices current configuration with what is recorded in the SDM.
Alarm Status: Synchronize the devices current alarm status with what is recorded in the SDM.
(For this feature to work, the SDM IP needs to be set as the Trap Receiver Address.)
Page 39
Synchronize Device Configuration
Click to compare the devices current configuration settings with the
settings stored in the SDMs database.
Page 40
Synchronize Device Configuration
A device parameter report is displayed when discrepancies exist between the SDMs database and the
devices current configuration. In order to clear the discrepancy perform one of the following.
Select one of the following from the Action drop down menu for each of the discrepant parameters:
Configured - Sends the value for the selected parameter stored within the SDM database to the
device
Device Modifies the value for the selected parameter stored in the SDMs database to match the
current device setting
If youd like to set all parameters to the value stored within the SDM database or the device, click one of
the following buttons:
All Configured Sends the values stored within the SDM database to the device
All Device Modifies the values stored in the SDMs database to match the current device
settings
Note: In order for some parameters to take effect the Process BOOTP Request must be set to Conditional
or Unconditional before the device is rebooted.
Page 41
Add a Device
When adding a new, unconfigured device to your headend, you can use the Add a Device option. This
option adds the device to the SDM with Motorolas default configuration parameters. The devices IP
Address and Type determine to which device group the device will be added. Do not use this option for
devices that are already configured with a valid IP address. In those cases, devices should be discovered
instead of added.
If you are not using device names via the hosts file, enter the devices IP address in the Name: field. If
you are using device names, edit the hosts file first, then enter the devices name in the Name: field. If
you are not using a gateway, enter 0.0.0.0 in the Gateway: field.
Page 42
Delete a Device
To delete a device right-click the device and select Delete from the drop-down list. A confirmation
message is displayed. When a device is deleted from the SDM it maintains the previously configured
parameters stored in its non-volatile memory.
Page 43
Copy a Device
You may want to add a new device by copying configuration parameters from a like device that has
already been configured. For example, if you are adding a SEM v8 to your headend and have previously
configured a similar SEM v8 using the SDM you can copy that SEM. If you are using device names, you
must first add the device name to the host file.

Replace a Device
1Ifthe device being replaced is an encrypting device, the Conditional Access operator will need to
reacquire the ACP (Access Control Processor = encryption chip) addresses for the device.

Viewing Alarms and Events
The SDM enables you to view alarms and events:
Events are notifications of any trap received from a managed device or any
operation change or state change within the SDM. An example of an event is a
configuration change or a change in device state.
Alarms are based on events and alert the user to problems in the network or
within the SDM.
There are 6 alarm severities:
critical (red)
major (orange)
minor (yellow)
warning (blue)
unknown (gray)
clear (green)
An alarm is a direct result of an event, but every event does not cause an
alarm.

(Not All)
There are two ways in which events are generated in the SDM:
Through SDM operations such as device discovery, threshold events, status polling, or custom events.
Through traps. A trap is an unsolicited notification sent to the SDM by the SNMP agent in the network
element. The SDM collects and displays traps. The SDM logs traps with a time and date signature so
technicians in the headend can analyze the logs for fault patterns. The SDM also forwards SNMP traps to
other network management stations (NMS).
Traps can be filtered, but doing so will affect all users of the SDM and halt the data for the filtered traps
from becoming events.
Events are stored in the SDM database and can be viewed in the Network Events window.
When there is an event that indicates a failure, alarms are generated. The correlation of events into alarms
is done using the failure object of the event objectfor all events with the same failure object there will
only be one alarm and the severity of the alarm will be the severity of the latest event with the same failure
object.
Event/Alarm storage:
- Events are stored for 7 days
- The last 10,000 events are viewable in the GUI
- The event report will show full list of saved events
- Up to 10,000 alarms are stored
- once reached, SDM begins deleting old alarms
- Cleared alarms are deleted every 24 hours
- Up to 500 alarm annotations are stored

You can also search for specific events or alarms. When viewing events or alarms, access this feature via the menu
bar: Edit>Search
The alarm summary panel on the lower left section of the main screen displays a table of alarm counts color-coded by
severity and sorted by category.
If you choose to have an alarm automatically generate an e-mail message, you must configure the
destination e-mail server. The e-mail server can be identified by IP address, host name (in host file) or its
domain name. To configure the e-mail server, select Administration>Email Server from the menu, enter
the e-mail server info, and click Apply.
