When you remove a media converter module from a chassis and install it
into a different slot, either in the same or a different chassis, it immediately
queries the management module to determine whether:
ˆ the slot was used before and, if it was,
ˆ if the previous module was the same model.
If the slot was not used before or the previous module was a different
model, the media converter module configures its parameter settings
using its auxiliary configuration file in its file system, thereby maintaining its
previous settings.
When a media converter module is installed into a slot that was used
previously by the same model, the management module extracts the
previous module’s settings from its active master configuration file and
sends them to the media converter module through the backplane of the
chassis. The media converter module, after receiving the settings,
configures its parameters, accordingly. In this manner, the media
converter module operates with the same settings as the module it
replaced.
You may want to retain the auxiliary configuration file of an media
converter module. In this case, you can disable the automatic overwriting
of a media converter module configuration file with the CONFIG
OVERWRITE command. In the following example, you disable the
automatic overwriting of the media converter module configuration file for
media converter 2 in a chassis with an id of 0:
config overwrite disable Id=0/2
Note
You should never need to rename, copy, delete, or upload an
auxiliary configuration file from the file system of a media converter
module. Make any parameter changes directly to the master
configuration file in the file system on the management module,
either through the command line interface or by editing the file.
Note
The AT-MCF2012LC and AT-MCF2012LC/1 Media Converter
Modules are considered different models by the management
software.
