5 Module Management
Most Fiber Driver modules, including the EDFA amplifier family, may be managed by a Fiber Driver network management (NM) module installed in the same chassis.
The EDFA amplifier modules may be managed by the
The NM module installs in the same chassis as the managed modules. It provides management for the EDFA amplifier module and other compatible Fiber Driver modules resident in the chassis. Refer to specific module documentation to determine compatibility with a specific NM.
Factory settings work in most EDFA amplifier installations, but network management through an NM module is recommended for local and remote- system status monitoring. Network environments are unpredictable, and Fiber Driver network management is a critical tool for proactive administration as well as for reduced operating expenses.
The NM provides a command line interface (CLI), accessible either through a local serial port and console or from the IP network using a terminal emulation environment. Some CLI commands specific to the EDFA amplifier modules in a managed environment are discussed in this section. Refer to the appropriate NM documentation
The network management module also provides Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support to allow control through any industry standard network management system (NMS). To maximize the graphical remote management control of Fiber Driver modules, MRV offers MegaVision® Pro. It is a unique and
