The GX/TM module supports several management options. Option 18 configures how the module will communicate to its remote partner. ‘Auto Secure OAM’ (option 2) and ‘Secure OAM’ (option 4) uses Omnitron’s proprietary secure encrypted management channel. ‘Auto Secure OAM’ will force the remote partner to communicate using the Secure OAM protocol while ‘Secure OAM’ will only attempt to communicate with the remote partner over the secure protocol. The management channel can support IP or IP-less connectivity based on the configuration of the ‘IP Protocol State’, option 17. ‘Auto ah OAM’ (option 3) and ‘ah OAM’ (option 5)’ conforms to the IEEE 802.3ah specification. ‘Auto ah OAM’ will force the remote partner to communicate using the ah OAM protocol while ‘ah OAM’ will only attempt to communicate with the remote partner over the ah protocol. This option provides an industry standard method of fault detection and monitoring. The management channel supports both IP and IP-less connectivity based on the configuration, option 17 and 18.

NOTE: See NetOutlook User Manual for complete information on the management modes.
