Remote Peer Management
This feature lets you configure remote line cards through their local line
card counterparts. This saves you from having to travel to the remote sites
to configure the cards or from having to install AT-CV5M02 Management
Cards in all the remote Converteon enclosures. The remote management
sessions, which are conducted over the fiber optic cables that link the local
and remote line cards, do not interfere with the network operations of the
line cards.
To manage a remote card, you start a local or remote management
session on the AT-CV5M02 Management Card and then redirect the
session to the remote card by selecting its local counterpart.
This feature is illustrated in Figure 2 on page 56. At a central location is
the AT-CV5000 Chassis with the AT-CV5M02 Management Card. To
manage the remote card, you select its local counterpart to establish a
remote management connection over the fiber optic cable that links the
line cards.
