The illustration below shows how multi-chassis are managed using Omnitron’s NetOutlook Management Software. From the chassis view screen, each of the chassis are available.

Multi-chassis configuration can also be managed through the serial console port. From the Chassis Selection section of screen, each of the chassis connected together are available. See Section 4.0 for detailed menu screens.
2.1.3UTP Management Port
The NMM features a front-panel 10Mbps Ethernet management port to facilitate SNMP management of iConverter modules in a 2, 5 or 19-Module chassis. Front-panel (Out-of-Band) management is accomplished by attaching a Category 5 UTP or better cable to the Ethernet front-panel management port.
2.1.4Ethernet Backplane Port
The NMM also features a 10Mbps Ethernet backplane port. The backplane port A allows Ethernet data connectivity between the adjacent module in the chassis. The backplane port provides In-Band management connectivity between the NMM and the adjacent module when both have their backplanes enabled. Management traffic from the adjacent module transverse the backplane to the NMM.
The backplane port can be disabled or enabled via an on-board slide switch. The NMM supports Backplane Port A only.
