4. Install the High-Density Media Converter System II Layer 2 Modules
The Managed Media Converter Modules install in Black Box SNMP
manageable High-Density Media Converter System II chassis.
NOTE
All modules are hot-swappable.
To install a Managed Media Converter Module:
1. Remove the blank bracket covering the slot where the module is to be
installed by removing the screws on the outside edges of the bracket.
2. Slide the Managed Media Converter Modules into the chassis, via the
cardguides, until the module is seated securely in the connector.
3. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw.
4. Save any “blanks” removed during installation for future use if the
configuration requirements change
4.1 Managed Modules
To manage one or more L2(s), an SNMP agent must be present in the chassis.
To configure Managed Modules, install the module first, and then configure
using the management software.
All Fiber Type information is now loaded into the NVRAM during manufacturing.
This is viewed only via iView² software, within the modules details.
Requirements:
• SNMP Firmware version C2
• iView² 1.8.6 or higher
4.1.1 Configuration Control and SNMP Management
Some High Density L2 Modules offer Configuration Control; labels on the front
faceplate are identified as such. Configuration Control has been implemented
to assist the end user by retaining the latest configuration regardless of how
that configuration was implemented (via DIP Switch settings or SNMP), when
an SNMP Management Module is present in a managed chassis.
Historically, if an SNMP Management Module was installed in a chassis, SNMP
would override the DIP Switch settings of a module. Using Configuration
Control, the end user has three conditions under which the configuration of an
SNMP Manageable Module may be impacted:
• Changing or installing an SNMP Management Module into a chassis with a
High Density L2 Modules with Configuration Control populated in a chassis
- The High Density L2 Module with Configuration Control will transfer its
saved configurations to the SNMP Management Module. If there is no
