Remote Network Management
The ONline Ethernet Management Module (EMM) and ONline Token Ring
Management Module (TRMM) provide remote network management
capabilities for the ONline System Concentrator and its modules. These
management modules also have the ability to override the channel-select
dip switches on the Bridge Module. Refer to the appropriate ONline
Management Module Installation and Operation Guide for additional
information on network management features.
You can also log into the Bridge Module from a network management
module, from another Bridge Module, or from a Midnight Bridge. This type
of connection is called inband management. Once logged into this module
you are able to make changes and show statistics as if you were locally
connected to the module.
Installation Procedures
You do not need to power down the ONline System Concentrator to install
the Bridge Module. You can insert the module while the concentrator is
operating (this is called a hot insertion). The installation procedure is
divided into the following steps:
Pre-installation test
Connecting a terminal
Connecting the transceiver cable
Selecting bridge and channel settings
