W ish you could effectively
manage the media converters
in your rapidly growing network
without ever having to leave your
computer room? The High-Density
Media Converter System or the
High-Density Media Converter
System II with Embedded SNMP
gives you the ability to do just that.
Use either chassis to monitor
and manage the media converters
in your network right from your
desk. Eliminate guesswork, avoid
downtime, and isolate problems
without having to visit your wiring
centers. They're particularly useful
in mission-critical enterprise and
service-provider applications.
Choose the size of chassis to
fit your application. We offer small
tabletop configurations as well
as high-port density rackmounted
models. Because the systems
are modular, you can add whatever
equipment works best for you.
SNMP management, which is
embedded in the System II chassis
and available as a modular add-on
to the original chassis, helps you
diagnose network problems by
monitoring both copper and fiber
link status as well as the chassis'
temperature and voltage levels.

Fully manageable systems
with Layer 1 or Layer 2 conversion options.
SNMP traps can alert you to
potential network failures so you
incur less downtime and spend
less time troubleshooting. You
can assign a name to each of the
various ports and if a link failure
occurs, you'll be notified with the
port's name.
With the High-Density Media
Converter System II with Embedded
SNMP, you receive a CD-ROM that
contains iView management
software. This software enables
you to configure the chassis and
its modules in minutes and provides
you with a cross-platform
application for managing intelligent
networking devices from virtually
any 32-bit Windows system. It also
includes MIBs for SNMP.
Compatible with Windows
95/98, Windows 2000, Windows NT
4, and HTML, the user-friendly,
comprehensive iView program
uses a clear graphical user
interface (GUI). It even shows an
on-screen representation of the
actual device control panels and
gives you detailed information
about the conversion ports.
You can also use the included
MIBs with any standard SNMP
program, such as HP ®
This enables you to view SNMP's
in-depth technical data in iView's
easy-to-use interface. You can
even display statistics as charts.
The Chassis
High-Density Media Converter
System
There are two basic chassis
types to choose from in this family:
the 2-slot model and the 18-slot
model.
The 2-slot table-top chassis
(LMC5000A) is ideal for fiber-to-the
desktop applications or remote
locations. You can install one or
two media converter modules for
an unmanaged LMC5000A system.
The 18-slot rackmount chassis
(LMC5001A) provides a central hub
for your media converters. Use it for
®
installation in a central location,
®
such as a computer room. And
with 18 slots, you're guaranteed
maximum flexibility. At 3U high, the
18-slot chassis is rackmountable
and is available with an AC power
supply. You can also add
a redundant power supply
(LMC5004AC or LMC5005DC).

System II with Embedded SNMP
