System Modules

The TDM4E channel modules are double width. A maximum of four modules can be placed in one chassis.

Network Element Management Interface

The NEMI is a two-slot plug-in module that can be configured by software to be either a NEMI-master or a NEMI-slave. The NEMI resides in the following chassis: in the primary chassis (Figures 2-3 and 2-4), chassis B (Figure 2-6), chassis D, and chassis F. This interface provides status and configuration capabilities.

A management computer can be connected directly to the NEMI when using a serial LapLink cable or a crossover Ethernet cable. Ethernet networks with more than two computers require an Ethernet hub. The NEMI functions under version 2.0.35 of the Linux operating system.The NEMI module provides the following:

•Connection to the network using standard Internet protocols

•Remote management and configuration of all interconnected chassis

•SNMP monitoring and trap generation

Systems with 24 to 32 channels require the installation of a second NEMI module in extension chassis B. When the two NEMI modules are interconnected using an inter-NEMI network connection (INNC), one NEMI module is configured as the NEMI-master, while the second is configured as the NEMI-slave.

Note The NEMI-master and the NEMI-slave are physically identical modules and differ only in software configuration.
