Page 14: Module Installation
3.5 Module Installation EM316xx cards are hot-swappable in a powered Fiber Driver chassis. Install the EM316xx module by aligning the edge of the card with the rail of the chassis slot. Hand-tighten the thumb screw. Do not over-tighten. The thumb screw is on the left when installed in the BU-1, BU-2, BU-3, and BU-4 chassis. The thumb screw is on the bottom when installed in the BU-16 chassis. -
Page 15: Figure 5 -- Module Installation (Not All Chassis Are Shown)
Step 2 Install the module into a Fiber Driver chassis by aligning the edge of the card with the rail of the chassis. Tighten the thumbscrew by hand. Figure 5 -- Module installation (not all chassis are shown) Handle modules by the edges to avoid damaging any components. Follow all ESD precautions listed at the front of this manual. -
Page 16: Edfa Features
4 EDFA Features While operating correctly in an appropriate environment, EM316EDFA optical amplifier modules require minimal operator intervention. However, because these devices are critical to network infrastructure, administrative monitoring of these devices is essential for early fault detection. EM316EDFA modules report simple status visually with front panel LEDs. More detailed diagnostic data is available remotely through the EM316LNXNM-OT module management interfaces discussed in the next section. -

5.1 Serial Console Interface After the network management (NM) module is installed, power up the chassis and attach the serial RS-232 cable to the PC or terminal device. Configuring terminal emulation software on the PC is beyond the scope of this document. The components below may be ordered from MRV. •... -
Page 20: Em316Lnxnm-Ot Command Line Interface (Cli)
5.2 EM316LNXNM-OT Command Line Interface (CLI) The EM316LNXNM-OT provides command line interface (CLI), SNMP, and graphical administration options for a Fiber Driver chassis system. This section introduces the CLI for the Linux-based network management (EM316LNXNM-OT) module. EM316LNXNM-OT management commands are specific to each module. The EM316LNXNM-OT management module also includes MegaVisionJ, a built-in graphical interface to manage only the Fiber Driver chassis system controlled by the specified NM. -
Page 21: Em316Lnxnm-Ot Boot And Cli Login
5.2.1 EM316LNXNM-OT Boot and CLI Login The box below shows the NM boot and login to the built-in admin user account. The “banner” information that displays after the login may also be displayed from the CLI prompt with the show version command. The show command is introduced in a later section. Refer to EM316LNXNM-OT documentation for network manager and CLI configuration help. -
Page 22: Cli Navigation
5.2.2 CLI Navigation The CLI uses five operational contexts: login, configuration, chassis, slot, and port. Only the login context is not considered a configuration mode. The system prompt includes a string to indicate the current operational context, as illustrated in the example below. The “#” character ends the prompt string, and a space separates the command from the prompt. -
Page 23: Login Context Commands And Examples
5.2.3 Login Context Commands and Examples The login context refers to the only CLI state not considered a configuration context. Commands in this context are generally for system status monitoring. Use the “?” and “list” commands at the fiberdriver # prompt to display the list of command line options. These help commands are shown in the slot and port command illustrations later in this section. -
