Chapter 6: Configuring the Media Converter Line Cards

Note
If you set the operating mode through the software, the DIP switches
on the card remain deactivated even if you move the card to a
different slot or a different chassis. To reactivate the switches, you
have to install the card in a chassis that has the management card
and select “Line Card DIP Switch Mode” from the Operating Mode
Configuration Menu.
The following prompt is displayed:
Warning: Changing the Operation Mode will reset the
line card.
Change Operation Mode now? :
7. Type Y to continue or N to cancel the procedure. This prompt is
displayed:
If auto-copy is enable, operation mode change need to be
saved to take affect.
Save line card configuration before rebooting? (Yes or
No):
8. Type Y for yes to update the master configuration file on the
management card with the new setting for the card’s operating mode.
This step is especially important if the auto-copy feature is activated on
the card’s slot. If the card’s operating mode isn’t saved in the master
configuration file, the new setting will not take affect because the card,
after resetting, will simply revert to its previous operating mode. If you
are not sure whether or not the auto-copy feature is enabled on the
slot, select Yes anyway. There is little likelihood you would ever
respond with No to this prompt. (This step isn’t applicable to the
AT-CM70S Line Card because it doesn’t support the auto-copy
feature.)
At this point, the line card resets. Before an AT-CM Line Card can
return to normal network operations, it has to initialize its management
software and configure its operating parameters. This process takes
approximately one minute. In contrast, AT-CV Line Cards immediately
return to normal operations because they do not have management
software.
