C ONFIGURING THE SYSTEM

This chapter provides network managers and system administrators with information
about how to configure the Media Converter Chassis system.

The reader of this document should be knowledgeable about network devices, device
configuration, network management, and Internet browsers. The user is assumed to be a
network administrator or manager with an understanding of network operations.

The Media Converter Chassis system

The chassis’s first slot is for the management module as illustration on figure 1.

Figure 1. Slide in the management module in the first slot of the chassis system.

Installing the Management Module

Before Configure the chassis system, you must do the following:

?? Install the management module into the chassis. (Figure 1)
?? Connect the module to the network.
?? Boot up for SNMP management on Web browser or emulation terminal

program.

Configure through Web browser

The Media Converter chassis system is accessible using a Web browser (IE explorer,
Netscape Communications, etc.) to open up the chassis monitoring system. The default
IP Address for the chassis system is “192.168.1.1”, and the default Login name and
password is both “root”.

Configuration via Serial Port

The Media Converter chassis system can be accessible using a terminal or terminal
emulator attached to the RS232 serial port on the Switch too.

NOTE: (1) The serial port cable is attached directly with the device.

(2) It needs to upgrade the Terminal Emulator due to key malfunction.

1. Locate correct DB9 serial port cable with female DB9 connector.

2. Attach the DB9 serial port female cable connector to the male DB9 serial port
connector on the chassis system.

3. Attach the other end of the DB9 serial port cable to a remote workstation.

4. By default, the Switch uses the following serial port parameter values:

Bits per second 57600

Stop bits 1

Data bits 8

Parity NONE

Flow Control NONE

LINK/ACT

CPU WORK

CPU FAIL

LINK

5. The default Login name and password is both “root”.

Support SNMP Management

The Media Converter Management Module supports SNMP management.

LED Indicators

The LED indicators of the Switch include Power, ALERT, HTTP, ICQ, SMTP, SPEED,
LINK/ACT and FDX/COL. The following shows the LED indicat ors for the Switch
