  • Page 3: Overview

    OVERVIEW ® The iConverter Network Management Module (NMM) is the heart of the iConverter management system. It features a 32-bit, high performance RISC microprocessor executing a realtime operating system. It supports the SNMP and Telnet protocols and is capable of controlling up to 19 managed chassis. The NMM delivers Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) services for carrier-class network access with comprehensive provisioning and network monitoring.
  • Page 4: Port Structure

    PORT STRUCTURE OVERVIEW The Network Management Module front panel provides the access to the Management ports. Management can be accessed through the serial port or the UTP port. The module features a backplane Ethernet port for connectivity to adjacent modules. Daisy Chain Port UTP Management Port 2.1.1...

  • Page 7 The backplane data bus supports Out-of-Band Management and In-Band Management configurations. Out-of-Band Management Out-of-Band Management is available by directly connecting the Network Management Station (NMS) to the UTP port on the front of the NMM. This isolates the management traffic from the rest of the traffic in the chassis.
