Omnitron Systems Technology iConverter Network Management Module - Manual (Page 8)

3.0 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
3.1 OVERVIEW
The following steps outline the installation and configuration procedures for the NMM. Refer to the
specified sections for detailed instructions.
• Configuring Switches (Section 3.2)
• Installing the Module and Connecting the UTP Cable (Section 3.3)
• Configure the Module via Command Line Interface (Section 3.4)
• Verify Operation (Section 3.5)
When the setup and configuration procedures are completed, the NMM has been configured for operation.
3.2 CONFIGURING SWITCHES
Board Mounted Switches
3.2.1 Ethernet Crossover Switch
The NMM has an on-board switch for the configuration of the device connecting to the front-panel UTP
management port. When connecting to a hub or switch, set the Ethernet Crossover Switch to “Switch”.
When connecting to a workstation, set to “Workstation” (factory default).
3.2.2 Backplane Enable Switch
The NMM provides an on-board switch to configure the module for In-Band or Out-of-Band management.
When the Backplane Enable Switch is in the Front position (factory default), the front-panel UTP management
port is enabled and the backplane Ethernet port is disabled. This is defined as Out-of-Band management.
When the switch is in the Back position, the front-panel port is disabled and the backplane port is enabled.
This is defined as In-Band management. In this setting, the NMM module can communicate with an
adjacent module via the chassis backplane.
3.3 INSTALLING THE MODULE AND CONNECTING THE UTP CABLE
• Since the NMM only supports backplane port A, it is recommended that the NMM be installed in
Slot 1. Carefully slide the module into an open slot in the chassis. Align the module with the
installation guides and ensure that the module is firmly seated against the backplane. Secure the
module by fastening the front panel thumbscrew (push in and turn clockwise to tighten) to the chassis
front. Verify the “Pwr” LED is ON (indicating the chassis is powered).
• Connect the UTP port via a Category 5 cable or better to a 10BASE-T Ethernet device (Management
Station).
