Configuration Instructions
IE-iMcV-Gigabit TX/SFP Modules have user-configurable features. Refer to the
matrix for configuring both managed (via an SNMP compatible management
application such as iView²) and unmanaged IE-iMcV-Gigabit TX/SFP Modules.
Managed Modules
To manage one or more IE-iMcV-Gigabit TX/SFP Modules, an SNMP agent must
be present in the chassis: To configure Managed Modules, install the module
first, and then configure using the management software.
Configuration Control
Some iMcV-Modules offer Configuration Control; labels on the front faceplate are
identified as such. Configuration Control has been implemented to assist the end
user by retaining the latest configuration regardless of how that configuration
was implemented (via DIP Switch settings or SNMP).
Historically, SNMP would override DIP Switch settings. If changes are made via
DIP Switch settings, then hardware settings determine the configuration of the
board. If changes are made to the module via iView
2
, the SNMP settings
determine the configuration of the board.
Utilizing Configuration Control, the end user has three conditions under which
the configuration of the iMcV-Module may be impacted:
Installing an IE-iMcV-Gigabit TX/SFP into a chassis already loaded with iMcV-
Modules or replacing an IE-iMcV-Gigabit TX/SFP
-
The iMcV-Module will transfer its saved configurations. The IE-iMcV-
Gigabit TX/SFP will not override the module’s configuration.
Replacing the same type of iMcV-Module
-
If the DIP Switch settings are the same as the settings on the removed
iMcV-Module, the IE-iMcV-Gigabit TX/SFP determines the configuration
settings.
-
If the DIP Switch settings are different, then the configuration of the
module is determined by the DIP Switch settings. (The settings are
forwarded to the IE-iMcV-Gigabit TX/SFP and the value is saved.)
Installing a new model of iMcV-Module
-
If another type of module is installed into the same slot in a chassis, the
IE-iMcV-Gigabit TX/SFP clears the memory of the previous configuration
