Management Line Card
The management card is the SNMP agent for the Radiance chassis. Connected
via the backplane to the other line card in the chassis, the management card re-
ports individual board status to Metrobility’s NetBeacon software (version 3.6 or
higher) or any SNMP application. Thus, the network administrator receives im-
mediate information on network operations via a PC. Metrobility also provides
the WebBeacon kernel, embedded into the management card, for Web-based
management via the Internet using browsers such as Netscape
®
Navigator
®
or
Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer. Refer to the Command Line Interface Reference
Guide, NetBeacon Element Management Software Installation & User’s
Guide or WebBeacon Management Software Installation & User’s Guide for
detailed software instructions.
Line Cards
Metrobility’s line cards deliver carrier-class media, speed, and distance solutions
to address the needs of today’s industrial networks. An extensive line of plug-
and-play, hot-swappable cards support IP/Ethernet interfaces at 10, 100, 1000
Mbps, T1/E1, T3/E3, SONET OC-3/STM-1, and OC-12/STM-4. For mission-
critical applications, Metrobility’s redundant interface line cards feature net-
work-on-demand accessibility, reliability, and enhanced security.
Maximum segment lengths are supported on either side of the chassis, and all
signal activity is reliably propagated from one cable to the other assuring
accurate data flow across the network.
Refer to the each line card’s specific installation and user guide for additional
product information.
