Chapter 1 Introduction 1.7 GSW/SNMP (Aggregate Switch) FRM220A must be ordered with an aggregate Card. The card is placed in the rear of the chassis and provides backplane connection to each card slot. Management is accomplished via Ethernet and any standard SNMP network management software that supports MIB-II. The WEB GUI based interface provides an easy method for the user to operate and monitor the whole system.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1.9 FRM220A Fault Handling The FRM220A management is designed is such a way as to minimize any disruption to normal traffic in the event of any single component failure and to allow rapid recovery of full operations through replacement of FRUs (Field Replaceable Units). The Power Modules support fully redundant operation. Utilizing a modular design, any mix of AC or DC power sources may be used to supply power to the FRM220A CH20 Chassis. Power modules are completely "Hot Swappable".
Chapter 1 Introduction 1.10 FRM220A Application The FRM220 is an excellent choice for complimenting fiber infrastructure in Metro LAN, campus, corporate buildings, factories, or in FTTx applications. It can also be deployed in a mobile backhaul application for packet transport. With standard SNMP management, carriers or Internet Service Providers will have confidence to deploy a solution that provides the necessary remote monitoring and configuration features.
Chapter 2 Provisioning Chapter 2 Telnet Provisioning 2.1 Introduction This chapter will go into the details of the specific provisioning and operation of the FRM220A. Broken into two parts, the first part outlines the procedures and functions to setup or determine the TCP/IP configuration. The second section will outline the operation when using a network connection, including the Web based management.
Chapter 2 Provisioning 2.2.2 Telnet Login To enter "Telnet mode", a user ID (default is admin) is required and a password may be required. By default, there is no password set from the factory. The user password provides security to protect the system. CTC UNION TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. FRM220A-GSW/SNMP VER.[1.
Chapter 2 Provisioning 2.2.3 TCP/IP Configuration The Network Management modes that require TCP/IP communications must first have all TCP/IP configuration settings completed.
