About the SNMP Management Module
The SNMP Management Module includes two twisted pair ports, one for
management and one reserved for future use. The Management Module
also features a DB-9 serial port. Both twisted pair ports include the
AutoCross feature that automatically selects between a crossover workstation
or straight-through, depending on the connected device.
An iMediaChassis series with an installed Management Module connects to
the LAN via an external 10/100 twisted pair connection. Connect the chassis
to the network by plugging one end of a CAT-5 twisted pair cable into the
port labeled MGMT on the Management Module. Plug the other end of the
cable into a device (e.g., switch, hub, etc.) in the existing Ethernet network.
Installing the Management Module
In order to manage an iMediaChassis series, available in 20, 6, or 3 slots, install the
SNMP Management Module. Slide the SNMP Management Module into the first
slot, on the far left of the chassis, using the card guides, and secure the module to the
chassis by tightening the captive screw. This slot is ONLY for the Management
Module; do not install Application Modules such as media conversion and mode
conversion modules in this slot.
