Upgrading a Unit to the SLM Feature Set
Full Service Level Management (SLM) capability can be activated in units that have the
basic diagnostic feature set at any time. This is an optional feature that adds real-time
and historical network performance monitoring and SLA (Service Level Agreement)
reporting capabilities to your iMarc unit and network. Simply order a Feature Activation
Certificate and provide the model to be activated, your OpenLane
key number, and the number of iMarc units to be activated to SLM capability. You can
order the certificate for a single unit or for many units.
®
SLM system license
OpenLane SLM Release 5.3 or above is required to schedule activation of SLM features
in units, and to manage the number of activations remaining on the certificate.
OpenLane also provides a Certificate Summary Report to assist you in the management
of the certificate.
When the Feature Activation Certificate arrives, add the Activation Certificate Number to
your OpenLane SLM application’s database. Activations can occur at any time, for as
many units as desired, until no activations remain for the certificate. When ready to
activate units, simply select the units to be activated and schedule the activations. The
activations occur when scheduled, and OpenLane updates the certificate information.
Contact your sales representative for additional information.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES
!
This product is designed to protect sensitive components from
damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during normal
operation. When performing installation procedures,
however, take proper static control precautions to
prevent damage to equipment. If you are not sure
of the proper static control precautions, contact
your nearest sales or service representative.
Installing the I/O Card
The NAM’s I/O card provides the network, DSX, DBM,
modem, DTE, and COM port connections. The I/O card
inserts directly behind the NAM that it supports in the
access carrier.
Procedure
1. Remove the I/O card from the shipping box.
To avoid damaging the card, handle by the top and
bottom edges only.
2. At the rear of the carrier, align the I/O card with the
upper and lower tracks for the slot.
Push gently toward the midplane until it stops and
the card cannot be pushed any further.

Installing the NAM into a Multislot Housing
The illustration shows the 14-slot access carrier housing.
CAUTION:
Be sure that you install the NAM in the correct slot so that it mates with its
matching I/O card. Otherwise, you could damage your card.
Procedure
1. Remove the NAM from the shipping
box. Handle only by the top and
bottom edges to avoid damaging the
card.
2. At the front of the carrier, align the
NAM with the upper and lower tracks
of the appropriate slot.
3. Slide the NAM into the tracks until it
seats with the midplane connectors.
Use care not to force the card or
bend any pins.
4. Close the carrier’s upper and lower
ejector latches to lock the card into
place, then tighten the captive
screws on the ejector latches.
5. Check that the OK LED lights.
If the OK LED is on, you have power.
If not, refer to Troubleshooting in the
iMarc SLV Operations Guide for possible explanations.

Connecting the COM Port to an Asynchronous Terminal
A VT100-compatible asynchronous terminal or a PC providing VT100 terminal
emulation must be used to set up access to and management of the unit.
Procedure
1. Configure the VT100-compatible asynchronous terminal or PC to be compatible
with the iMarc unit:
— COM Port in use by your PC is COM1 or COM2.
— COM Port Baud Rate is set to 19.2 Kbps.
— Character length is set to 8 data bits.
— Parity is set to None.
— Stop bit is set to 1.
— Flow Control is set to None.
2. Insert the 8-pin end of the cable into the COM port for the appropriate slot.

3. Insert the other end of the cable into the terminal or PC.
4. Press Enter on the keyboard to display the Main Menu.
If the Main Menu does not appear, recheck the terminal or PC settings (see Step 1),
or press the Enter key. Refer to Troubleshooting in the iMarc SLV Operations Guide
for other possible explanations.
Verifying that Self-Test Passed
To verify that the unit passed its self-test, go to the System and Test Status screen.
Main Menu → Status → System and Test Status
The results of the self-test appears on the next screen line, under the screen title.
If any failure messages appear, reset the unit by disconnecting, then reconnecting the
power cord. The unit will perform the self-test again. If the failure reappears, call your
service representative for assistance.

There are two methods for installing and setting up the iMarc unit.
One person can install and set up the unit. If this is the case, see Full Installation
and Setup.
An installer can physically install and set up access to the unit, and the network
operation center (NOC) can complete the setup. If this is the case, see Minimal
Installation for Service Providers on page 14.
Certain procedures are common to both the full installation and minimal methods. These
procedures are referenced in the full and minimal installation instructions (starting with
Setting Up Local Management at the Central Site on page 16). Refer to them, as
needed.
Full Installation and Setup
An Easy Install screen is provided to simplify installation and setup. It can be used for
the first part of the installation when one person is installing and setting up the unit from
beginning to end.
