Remote management function

The S4TEF10xx-11x can be remotely managed when connected via fiber cable to a local C4TEF10xx-11x slide-in-module media converter that is installed in a managed Transition Networks PointSystem™ chassis. The SNMP section (below) lists the commands that can be used to monitor and manage a networked S4TEF10xx-11x media converter at a remote location. For more details, see the C4TEF10xx-11x user’s guide on-line at: www.transition.com.

SNMP

See the on-line documentation that comes with Transition Networks FocalPoint™ software for applicable commands and usage.

Use SNMP at an attached terminal or at a remote location to monitor the media converter by monitoring:

Media converter power

Fiber link status

Copper link status for each T1/E1 (AIS, link)

Copper link status for Ethernet (link, speed, duplex)

RS-232 status (speed, bits, parity, stop)

All hardware switch settings

AIS detected copper link and fiber link

Model #, serial #, PIC revision

HW revision, group string, connectors

Also, use SNMP to enter network commands that:

Local and remote fiber loop-back

Local and remote T1/E1 loop-back for each channel

T1/E1 line options (DS1, DSX-1, J1, D1, AIS)

Ethernet settings (Auto-Negotiation, speed, duplex, Link Pass-Through)

RS-232 settings (speed, bits, parity, stop)

T1/E1 monitor modes and loop-back modes

Boot-load firmware (local unit only)

The local (auxiliary) factory maintenance interface via the RS-232 connector supports the following:

Switch selection for the RS-232 interface

Access to all local and remote status information

Perform all local and remote commands

Operate at selected baud rates
