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 to the
module via iView
2
, the SNMP settings determine the configuration of the board
and the DIP Switches had no effect. Configuration control enables the user to
use iView
2
or DIP Switches to modify the configuration.
With configuration control, the end user has three conditions under which the
configuration of the iMcV-Module with Configuration Control may be impacted:
Installing an
IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP
into a chassis already
loaded with iMcV-Modules or replacing an
IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm,
TP/SFP
-
The iMcV-Module will transfer its saved configurations. The
IE-iMcV-
T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/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-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP determines the
configuration settings through the chassis's management.
-
If the DSW are different, then the configuration of the module is
determined by the DIP Switch settings. (The settings are forwarded to
the chassis's management module 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-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP clears the memory of the previous
configuration for that slot; the settings of a new module are adopted
and stored in the IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP.
The SNMP Write Lock switch does not impact any iMcV-Module or IE-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.
