1.0 OVERVIEW The iConverter ® Network Management Module (NMM) is the heart of the iConverter management system. It features a 32-bit, high performance RISC microprocessor executing a realtime operating system. It supports the SNMP and T elnet protocols and is capable of controlling up to 19 managed chassis.
2.0 PORT STRUCTURE 2.1 OVERVIEW The Network Management Module front panel provides the access to the Management ports. Management can be accessed through the serial port or the UTP port. The module features a backplane Ethernet port for connectivity to adjacent modules.
The illustration below shows how multi-chassis are managed using Omnitron’ s NetOutlook Management Software. From the chassis view screen, each of the chassis are available. NetOutlook Chassis V iew Multi-chassis configuration can also be managed through the serial console port.
The iConverter 19-Module, 5-Module and 2-Module Chassis backplanes provide ethernet data connectivity between adjacent slots. The A and B backplane ports connect the slots as illustrated.
The backplane data bus supports Out-of-Band Management and In-Band Management configurations. Out-of-Band Management Out-of-Band Management is available by directly connecting the Network Management Station (NMS) to the UTP port on the front of the NMM.
