Remote Network Management

The ONline Ethernet Management Module (EMM) and ONline Token Ring Management Module (TRMM) provide remote network management capabilities for the ONline System Concentrator and its modules. These management modules also have the ability to override the channel-select dip switches on the Bridge Module. Refer to the appropriate ONline Management Module Installation and Operation Guide for additional information on network management features.

You can also log into the Bridge Module from a network management module, from another Bridge Module, or from a Midnight Bridge. This type of connection is called inband management. Once logged into this module you are able to make changes and show statistics as if you were locally connected to the module.

Installation Procedures

You do not need to power down the ONline System Concentrator to install the Bridge Module. You can insert the module while the concentrator is operating (this is called a hot insertion). The installation procedure is divided into the following steps:

Pre-installation test

Connecting a terminal

Connecting the transceiver cable

Selecting bridge and channel settings

Installation 2 - 9
