4. From the Display Current Configuration menu, select Auto-copy
Enable. (Although the setting of the auto-copy feature is set in a card’s
Module Configuration Menu, it applies to the slot. The setting is not
transferred if the line card is installed in a different slot or chassis.)
5. Return to the line card’s Module Configuration Menu.
6. To configure other parameters on the line card, refer to Chapter 6,
”Configuring the Media Converter Line Cards” on page 157.
7. Return to the card’s Module Configuration Menu and select Line Card
Configuration.
8. From the Line Card Configuration menu, select Save Line Card
Configuration.
9. You can now remove the line card from the slot.
10. To assign the same configuration to another AT-CM Line Card, install
the card in the same slot and wait a full minute for the line card to
initialize its management software and to receive its parameter
settings from the management card. Afterwards, remove the card.
Repeat this step to assign the same settings to other AT-CM Line
Cards.
Testing the OAM
Settings
The following procedure shows you a quick and easy way to test the OAM-
based settings on the line cards. The test consists of connecting the fiber
optic ports on two identical AT-CM Line Cards, such as two AT-CM302
Cards, and checking to see whether the cards can establish a remote peer
connection to each other. If they can, then their OAM settings are correct.
To test the OAM settings of two identical AT-CM Line Cards:
1. Install one of the line cards in a Converteon chassis that has the
AT-CV5M02 Management Card.
2. Install the second line card in a different Converteon chassis. (If you
want to test the dying gasp feature, the enclosures have to be the
AT-CV5000 Chassis and the AT-CV1203 Chassis.)
3. If the enclosures are not powered on, power them on now.
4. Connect a fiber optic cable between the fiber optic ports on the two line
cards.
5. If you are testing AT-CM3 Line Cards and one or both of the cards are
set to the MissingLink and OAM Visible mode or the Smart MissingLink
and OAM Visible mode, you have to connect their twisted pair ports to
live network equipment. Otherwise, the fiber optic ports will not
establish a connection with each other. If the enclosures are close to
each other you can, for the purposes of this test, connect the twisted
