IMC Networks iMcV-LIM - Manual (Page 6)

- If another type of module is installed into the same slot in a chassis, the
iMcV-LIM clears the memory of the previous configuration for that slot; the
settings of a new module are adopted and stored in the iMcV-LIM
The SNMP Write Lock switch does not impact any iMcV-Module or iMcV-Module
with Configuration Control. Removing and installing a new SNMP Management
Module will no longer impact these modules either. However, if there is a mixture of
iMcV-Modules with and without Configuration Control, the Write Lock Switch and a
new SNMP Management Module must be taken into consideration.
If the command cleandb is applied to an SNMP Management Module, all the settings
for the modules will be removed, but the Configuration Control modules will still be
based on the last change made, while those without Configuration Control will be set
to their default settings.
NOTE
If the end user has a mixture of standard iMcV-Modules as well as Configuration Control
iMcV-Modules, it is important to understand how SNMP and DIP Switches will impact the
cards depending on their capability. Standard iMcV-Modules cannot be upgraded to
Configuration Control capability, so it is strongly recommended to set the DIP Switches on
the modules and then configure them via software to match the same settings.
Unmanaged Modules
Before installing, configure the iMcV-LIM modules for desired features. The table
below indicates the available features and settings for the iMcV-LIM modules.
After configuring the DIP Switches for the desired settings, install the module and
connect the appropriate cables (refer to Installing an iMcV-LIM section for more
information).
