TheTDM4E 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 configuredby 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 configuredas 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.
