Management Overview
The discussions in this section review the basic characteristics of the
management software for the AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Series.
AT-S85 and
AT-S97
Management
Software
The modules in the AT-MCF2000 Series use two different operating
systems. The AT-MCF2000M Management Module uses the AT-S97
Management Software and the AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Module
Series, such as the AT-MCF2012LC and AT-MCF2012LC/1 Modules, use
the AT-S85 Management Software.
All of your commands must be entered through the AT-S97 Management
Software on the management module. Commands intended for a media
converter module are automatically transferred by the management
module to the appropriate module in the chassis or stack.
