Management Overview
The discussions in this section review the basic characteristics of the
management software for the AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Series.
AT-S85 and
AT-S97
Management
Software
The modules in the AT-MCF2000 Series use two different operating
systems. The AT-MCF2000M Management Module uses the AT-S97
Management Software and the AT-MCF2012LC, AT-MCF2012LC/1 and
AT-MCF2032SP Media Converter Modules use the AT-S85 Management
Software.
All of your commands must be entered through the AT-S97 Management
Software on the management module. Commands intended for a media
converter module are automatically transferred by the management
module to the appropriate module in the chassis or stack.
Features of the
AT-S97
Management
Software
Here are the functions that you can perform using the AT-MCF2000M
Management Module and Version 3.0.0 of the AT-S97 Management
Software:
ˆ Set the operating parameters on the twisted pair and fiber optic ports
of the media converter channels, including:
– Auto-Negotiation
– Speed
– Duplex mode
– MDI/MDI-X configuration
ˆ Change a channel’s operating mode. The operating modes are listed
here:
– MissingLink™
– Smart MissingLink
– Link Test
ˆ Implement rate limits on the ingress and egress packets on the ports of
the media converter channels.
ˆ Configure the module’s Network Time Protocol (NTP) client to set the
system’s date and time from a NTP server on your network or the
Internet.
ˆ Create a stack of enclosures of up to sixteen media converter modules
so that you can manage the modules from one management module.
ˆ Manage the modules locally using the RS-232 Terminal Port or
remotely using a Telnet or SSH client.
ˆ Manage the modules remotely using Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP).
