About the IE-iMcV-MultiWay The IE-iMcV-MultiWay is a CPE device, available as a modular device providing two fixed 10/100/1000Base-T copper ports and 2 SFP ports. The SFP ports support fiber or copper SFPs. As a plug and play device, the IE-iMcV-MultiWay provides several distinct modes of operation to support a wide range of applications. The IE-iMcVMultiWay provides OAM functionality with 802.3ah and 802.1ag supported on each port.
About IE-iMcV-MultiWay Features and Configuration The IE-iMcV-MultiWay offers a full feature set including Auto Negotiation, Selective Advertising, AutoCross, VLANs, SNMP management, loopback testing and OAM. Unit software updates can be downloaded through TFTP or iView2 (iConfig view). IE-iMcV-MultiWay features include: • SNMP manageable • OAM AH o IEEE 802.
When using iView2, the IE-iMcV-MultiWay can be fully managed without an IP address using a secure management channel. However, an IP address can be assigned through iView2 (iConfig view), the CLI or Telnet using the default IP address of 10.10.10.10. Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) OAM is a general term used in network management and is typically applied to a series of standard protocols for installing, monitoring, and troubleshooting Metropolitan Area Networks.
About iView2 (iConfig view) iView2 (iConfig view) is an in-band utility created by IMC Networks, used for SNMP configuration for IMC Networks’ SNMP-manageable devices. The iView2 (iConfig view) feature allows the following to be performed: • • Set an IP address, subnet mask and default gateway Define community strings and SNMP traps iView2 (iConfig view) also includes an authorized IP address system and restricted access to MIB groups which are supported by IMC Networks’ manageable devices.
