  • Page 15: Chapter 3 Web Based Provisioning

    Chapter 3 Web Based Provisioning 3.1 Introduction In an effort to make Networking devices easier to configure, many devices can now be configured via a Web Page, which should be familiar to all Internet users. The web page is accessed by the Default IP Address of the device from a Web Browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox in the following way: http://10.1.1.1/ (Assuming the device has Default IP Address of 10.1.1.1 ) Before accessing this device by web browser, the IP address must be known or it must be reset or changed to be used on the desired...

  • Page 17: System Information

    3.4 System Information 3.4.1 Network Information The information displayed on this page gives specific device, network information, and port status for the local 1000MS and for any remote that is accessible via IEEE802.3ah OAM in-band management.
  • Page 18: Dd Information

    The DD or DDOM information is read from the MSA compliant SFP module and can be displayed via the web user interface. 3.5 Local Settings The following is a listing of the local settings that can be performed via the web interface for the IMC-1000M(S) industrial media converter. We will go through the settings here, one by one, in detail.
  • Page 19: Ip Configuration

    3.5.1 IP Configuration Use this screen to set the TCP/IP configuration for the local unit. Note, that if you change the IP address you could lose remote management for this device. Remember to save settings under the “Tools” menu. The above shows the factory default TCP/IP settings for IMC-1000MS. DHCP Client, when enabled, will allow the IMC-1000MS to automatically get the IP configuration settings from the network's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server.
  • Page 20: Password Setting

    3.5.2 Password Setting This function is used to modify the default password for the device. The password is required so that only authorized users have access to the management of the IMC-1000MS. Key in the current password and type in the new password twice, then click the “Apply” button. After applying settings, do not forget to save the configuration under the ‘Tools’...
  • Page 21: Converter Configuration

    3.5.3 Converter Configuration The Converter configuration menu includes special features of IMC-1000MS. All of these special functions will be explained on the following two pages. Select the proper radio buttons and then click the “Apply” button. Remember to save settings under the “Tools” menu.
  • Page 22 The remote Management functions of the converter can be disabled. Once disabled and saved, regardless of the 802.3ah OAM settings, the remote management feature is disabled. When management is enabled, the remote management feature will be available. This converter is capable of supporting Jumbo Frames (9k byte packets) when this option is enabled. Note that in order to support jumbo frames, the TP speed and duplex must match the FX.
  • Page 23 Management Packet High Priority is a function which is enabled by default. Unless VLAN is enabled, this function is meaningless. The packet priority is included as 3 bit priority in the VLAN tag. Management packets will be assigned highest priority so that even in the presence of high traffic throughput, this converter can still be easily managed.
  • Page 24: Port Configuration

    3.5.4 Port Configuration This screen is for the configuration of the electrical Ethernet port (TP) and the optical port (FX). Both the TP and FX Port Active are enabled by default. If a port is disabled, all transmission through this port will be stopped. The 1000M’s LAN or Fiber Link LED will be extinguished if the port is made inactive.
  • Page 25: Mib Counters

    3.5.5 MIB Counters The counters have an accumulation of received bytes and packets for each port (UTP, Fiber and Management). The distribution of those packets is further delineated into packet types (Unicast, Multicast, Broadcast) and packet sizes. Also counted are illegal packets and dropped events.
  • Page 26: Snmp Configuration

    3.5.6 SNMP Configuration SNMP or Simple Network Management Protocol is an industry standard, ISO layer 7 application, for management of network devices. The SNMP deployed in the IMC-1000MS is SNMPv1. By default, SNMP is disabled. In the example above, SNMP has been enabled along with trap mode. SNMP traps will be sent, unsolicited, to the trap server at the configured IP address (10.1.1.100 in the example).
  • Page 27: Vlan

    3.6.7 VLAN 3.6.7.1 VLAN Group  By default, this device is VLAN unaware, making it completely transparent to VLAN tags. In most application, this device only acts as a media converter and therefore the device should be transparent. IMC-1000MS does support up to 16 VLAN groups. By using the check boxes for each port, the ingress access to different VIDs can be controlled here for TP, FX and management.
  • Page 28 3.6.7.2 VLAN Per Port Configuration  Within the IMC-1000MS there are actually three different ports, the external copper and fiber ports, plus the internal CPU port (management). The VLAN Per Port Setting page deals with how frames exit (egress) the copper, fiber and CPU (management). These are the Frame Egress Type.
  • Page 29: Management Vlan Setting

    3.6.8 Management VLAN Setting This function is independent of any other VLAN group or per port settings. The settings here provide a very quick method to configure how access to management is controlled. There are three control 'states' defined as follows: Disable : This means that the "access control"...
  • Page 30: Alarm Configuration

    3.6.9 Alarm Configuration IMC-1000MS has an alarm relay with NO (normally open) and NC (normally closed) relay contacts which are available at the terminal block on the top of the unit. When there is an alarm condition (the RED alarm LED is lit) the NC relay will be closed. When there is no alarm condition (the RED alarm LED is off) the NO relay will be closed.
  • Page 31: Remote Settings

    3.7 Remote Settings When 802.3ah is active in both the local and remote unit (with fiber connection), the in-band management provides an embedded channel to control and configure the remote by using OAM (layer 2) Ethernet packets. The same settings available to the local unit are available under the Remote Setting menu, with the exception of password setting, SNMP, Counters and Alarm configuration.
  • Page 32: 802.3Ah Configuration

    3.8.1 802.3ah Configuration To use the OAM functions, the 802.3ah Function setting must be enabled. It is not enabled by default. The 802.3ah mode is used to configure an OAM pair. In a pair, one unit must be ‘active’, while the other must be ‘passive’. We typically place the remote converter (CPE) in ‘passive’...
  • Page 33: Loop Back Test

    3.8.2 Loop back Test The loop back test is a non-intrusive test which uses OAM packets and will not affect normal transmissions. The number of OAM frames used (the number of times the loop back is done) is set by the Send Packet Number. The default is 1 packet. The Packet Length (Not including CRC) controls the packet size of the OAM frames used for loop back testing.
  • Page 34: 802.3Ah Status

    3.8.3 802.3ah Status The Global Config fields display the state of OAM, if OAM is enabled. We can also see the MAC addresses of the local and remote units in the OAM manageable pair. The Flags Field list the results of individual events based on the results of OAM protocol data units (OAMPDUs).
  • Page 35 Most information carried by OAMPDU is encoded using type-length-value (TLV) format. The first octet (or byte) of the OAMPDU indicates the type. This type is used to let the OAM client know how to decode the bytes containing the information. The next octet carries the length of the information.
  • Page 36: Tools

    One of the most critical problems in an access network for carriers is differentiating between a simple power failure at the customer premise and an equipment or facility failure. Dying gasp provides this information by having a station indicate to the network that it is having a power failure.
  • Page 37: System Reboot

    3.9.1 System Reboot When the converter is rebooted, all counters and registers are cleared and the converter starts fresh. If OAM is enabled, the discovery process will start. After selecting the System Reboot menu item, a confirmation dialogue box will pop up. Click “OK” to reboot the converter or click “Cancel”...
  • Page 38: Firmware Upgrade

    3.9.3 Firmware Upgrade If bugs are discovered, if functions are added, or if factory default settings are changed, the firmware in the converter will require upgrading. The only method to do upgrade for this converter is through the local Web (HTTP) user interface. The firmware image is uploaded from the browser (Post), it is checked for integrity, the flash is erased and then the flash is written with the new image.
  • Page 39 Next, click the “Upgrade” button. Do not do anything for the next 60 seconds!!!! The “Upload success!” indicates the image was transferred OK. After 60 seconds, you may click the link to re-login to the web interface. Login as usual.
  • Page 40: Logout

    3.10 Logout Logging out will ensure that the management session with IMC-1000MS is terminated. This is especially important if you are using a public computer to manage the device. Once logged out, a password must be entered to access IMC-1000MS again. Click the “OK”...
  • Page 41: Troubleshooting

    3.11 Troubleshooting 3.11.1 Factory Default. Apply power to IMC-1000MS and allow 25-30 seconds to fully boot. Using a pencil or ball-point pen, press the 'DEFAULT' recessed push- button switch (located on the face plate) and hold for 10 seconds or more then release. DO NOT POWER OFF; Allow the unit to again fully reboot (about 25 seconds).
  • Page 42: Led Observations

    Fiber Port cage. Use a simplex patch cable (single fiber strand, LC to LC), route the SFP Tx back to the Rx optical connection. The FX LNK LED should light. For IMC-1000M, use a simplex patch cable (single fiber strand, SC to SC, ST to ST or FC to FC), route the Tx back to the Rx optical connection.
  • Page 43 3.11.4.2 Ping Test  With IMC-1000MS reset to factory default, connect a PC and configure the PC to the 10.1.1.0 network (10.1.1.100 recommended). Use a PC to ping IMC-1000MS at its factory default IP address of 10.1.1.1. With a direct connection to PC, there should be no time outs and ping latency should be less than 1 millisecond.
