Installing a Media Converter Module
When a media converter module is installed into a chassis,
the AT-S97 Management Software on the management
module communicates with the module to determine the
appropriate operating parameters for the device. Some of
the variables that factor into the process include whether
the chassis slot had been used by another media converter
module and, if so, whether the new module is the same
model as the previous module. The goal is to reduce the
number of times you have to manually reconfigure the
modules when you install or replace devices in a chassis.
The possible scenarios and their outcomes are described
here:
ˆ A media converter module maintains its previous
parameter settings when removed and reinstalled in the
same chassis and slot.
ˆ A media converter module maintains its previous
settings (or uses the default settings if it is new) when
installed in a slot that has never been used before or
was previously used by a different media converter
model. For example, the AT-MCF2012LC Fast Ethernet
Media Converter Module, when installed in a slot
previously occupied by the AT-MCF2012LC/1 Fast
Ethernet Media Converter Module, maintains its prior
settings.
ˆ A media converter module that replaces a module of the
same model assumes the settings of the previous
module. For example, replacing the AT-MCF2012LC
module with another AT-MCF2012LC module causes
the new module to operate with the same settings as the
previous module.
