GarrettCom Magnum 3000 Installation, General Information, Installing the Embedded Agent Board, MB

5.2Installation, General Information

The Magnum SNMP agent is an option with the Magnum 3000 Stackable Hubs

and Concentrators. The SNMP embedded agent, Model 3000-MB, will be configured and tested as part of a Magnum 3000 stack or single unit at the factory when specified at the time of order. In order to satisfy network growth and changing network requirements, Magnum 3000 Stackable Hubs may also be upgraded in the field with the addition of a Magnum SNMP agent box such as Model 3000-AGT.

With either of the two agent implementations, the agent's operation and performance is the same. The selection of the desired version is entirely a function of user preference. For one Magnum 3000 stack (which may be from one to twenty units, and may be any combination of 3024 and 3012 units), only one SNMP agent is required, and only one SNMP agent may be in use at any given time.

5.3Installing the Embedded Agent Board, "MB"

The embedded agent board, Model 3000-MB, is normally factory installed.

The procedure for installing the Magnum 3000-MB in the field is a moderately complex process. (To avoid complex field installation and test procedures, it is recommended that a Magnum 3000-AGT agent box unit be chosen and added to the existing stack when a field upgrade from non-managed to embedded-agent-managed is desired).

The following step-by-step procedure should be followed to properly install the Magnum SNMP embedded agent board.

STOP!!!

Be sure the power cord is unplugged

from the chassis before attempting to remove

and/or replace an RPM card.

Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit

and will void the warranty.
