Operations, Administration and Maintenance Features

The AT-CV1203 Chassis supports all the Operations, Administration and
Maintenance (OAM) features of the managed AT-CM2 Series and
AT-CM3 Series Line Cards and the AT-CM70S Line Card. The features
are listed here and are fully described in the Converteon AT-S73, AT-S99,
and AT-S102 Management Software User’s Guide
:

ˆ

Remote peer management - This feature lets you configure remote
line cards in an unmanaged chassis through their line card
counterparts in a managed chassis.

ˆ

Remote updates of the AT-S73 or AT-S102 Management Software -
This feature lets you download new management software to remote
AT-CM2 Series and AT-CM3 Series Line Cards from their local
counterparts.

ˆ

OAM loopback tests - This feature lets you test the quality of the fiber
optic cable that connects two line cards or that connects a line card to
some other OAM-compliant device.

ˆ

Dying gasp and first RPS failure signals - This feature notifies you if a
power supply on the AT-CV1203 Chassis loses power.

ˆ

OAM variable requests - This feature lets you send queries for the
values of MIB objects on OAM-compliant devices.

If you plan to implement the dying gasp and the first RPS failure features,
note the following:

ˆ

There are two versions of the AT-CV1203 Chassis. Units built after
March 2009 and having “04187” or “04188” in their serial numbers
support the first RPS failure signal on the AT-CM3 Series Media
Converter Line Cards without the AT-CV5M02 Management Module:

Serial Number: x04187xxxxxxxxxx

Serial Number: x04188xxxxxxxxxx

ˆ

The dying gasp and first RPS failure signals will not work if the
AT-CV1203 Chassis contains both an AT-CM2 Series Line Card and
an AT-CM3 Series Line Card. If you plan to use these features, do not
install cards from both series in the same chassis.
