Modules

The iConverter 4Tx 10/100 Managed Ethernet Switch module provides a compact 4-Port 10/100 Ethernet switch that is expandable across the iConverter 19-Module, 5-Module and 2-Module chassis backplanes, as well as being supported as a stand-alone switch with the iConverter 1-Module Chassis. It feature 10/100Mbps speed, half/full duplex, and auto-negotiation with both hardware and software controls.

The iConverter Network Management Module (NMM) is the heart of the iConverter management system. It features a 32-bit, high performance RISC microprocessor executing a real-time operating system. It supports the SNMP and Telnet protocols and is capable of controlling and managing up to 16 managed chassis.

The NMM features a serial port for initial configuration, a front-plane RJ45 Ethernet port, a backplane Ethernet port, and a pair of multi-chassis management ports.In-Band management is accomplished via the backplane Ethernet port connecting to an adjacent iConverter module with backplane support, thus offering direct access to the NMM via the operational network. Out-of-Band management is accomplished via the front-plane Ethernet port, facilitating a secure management network. The NMM is password protected to prevent unauthorized access.

The iConverter NMM2 provides comprehensive remote monitoring, configuration and alarm notification functions for all iConverter managed media converters and Network Interface Devices (NIDs). Installed in any slot of an iConverter chassis, the NMM2 manages all other modules and power supplies installed in the chassis through a high-speed management backplane. Additionally, all remote NIDs linked to the managed iConverter chassis may be managed by the installed NMM2 through a secure IP-less management channel.

Through the 10/100 RJ-45 Ethernet port, the NMM2 can be remotely accessed by IP-based management protocols, including SNMPv1/2c/3, TELNET and FTP. The serial console port provides local access and initial configuration from an RS-232 terminal. Management is accessed either via NetOutlook, Omnitron's SNMP Management Software, or by any third party SNMP management software. An intuitive Command Line Interface (CLI) can be accessed either via the serial port or TELNET.

The iConverter 4Tx 10/100 Ethernet Switch module is a member of the managed iConverter product family. The 4Tx provides a compact 4-Port 10/100 Ethernet switch that is expandable across the iConverter 19-Module, 5-Module and 2-Module chassis backplanes, as well as being supported as a standalone switch with the iConverter 1-Module Chassis.

The iConverter 4Tx UTP ports feature 10/100Mbps, Half or Full-Duplex and auto-negotiation with both hardware and software controls. Hardware control is available for two ports while all four ports are under software control for these features.

The iConverter 4Tx VT 4-Port Fast Ethernet VLAN Switching Module is a member of the iConverter product family. It provides a compact 4-Port 10/100 Ethernet switch that is expandable across the iConverter 19-Module, 5-Module and 2-Module chassis backplanes, as well as being supported as a stand-alone switch with the iConverter 1-Module Chassis.
