IMC Networks IE-IMCV-T1-MUX/4 operation manual

configuration on the unit will be used. The stored configuration can be retrieved from the SNMP Management Module or the DIP Switches.

•Replacing the same type of iMcV-Module

-If the DIP Switch settings are the same as the settings on the removed IE- iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet, the new IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet gets its configuration settings from the SNMP Management Module.

-If the DIP Switch settings are different, then the configuration of the module is determined by the DIP Switch settings. (The settings are forwarded to the SNMP Management Module and the values are saved.)

•Installing a different model of an iMcV-Module

-If another type of module is installed into the same slot in a chassis, the SNMP Management Module clears the memory of the previous configuration for that slot; the installed iMcV-Module configures itself and its configuration is forwarded to the SNMP Management Module, where the values are saved.

The SNMP Write Lock switch does not impact any iMcV-Module or IE-iMcV-Module with Configuration Control. Removing and installing a new SNMP Management Module will no longer impact these modules, either. However, if there is a mixture of iMcV-Modules with and without Configuration Control, the Write Lock Switch and a new SNMP Management Module must be taken into consideration.

If the command cleandb is applied to an SNMP Management Module, all the settings for the modules will be removed, but the Configuration Control modules will still be based on the last change made. Those without Configuration Control will be set to their default settings.

NOTE

If the end user has a mixture of standard iMcV-Modules as well as Configuration Control iMcV-Modules, it is important to understand how SNMP and DIP Switches will impact the cards depending on their capability. Standard iMcV-Modules cannot be upgraded to Configuration Control capability, so it is strongly recommended to set the DIP Switches on the modules and then configure them via software to match the same settings.
