Chapter 2 Installation 2.1 Unpacking The product package contains: • The system unit • One power cord • One 19-inch rack mounting kit • Operation Manual 2.2 System Units The figure below illustrates the front view of the MCC-16 system: The type and numbers of the pre-installed media converters may be different depending on the model purchased. The figure shows a system fully installed with media converters.
2.2.2 Management Module The chassis comes with one pre-installed Management module.
2.2.3 Power Chassis Modules The system power supply is assembled in a plug-in chassis module as shown below: Each power module is able to supply full power for system operation even when the chassis is fully loaded with media converters.
Insertion of Power Module Before inserting the power module into the chassis, make sure: • The module power switch is turned off. • The power cord is disconnected from the AC power receptacle. To insert the power module, hold the handle and push it into the chassis until it is seated in the chassis properly. Screw the module securely in the chassis unit.
2.2.4 Media Converter Slots The system chassis provides sixteen slots for installing optional slide-in MCs (media converters). A media converter can be inserted into an available slot or removed from a slot anytime even when the system unit is powered on. This hot-plug design keeps all existing connections on the other slots running with no influence. To insert an MC into a slot, the steps are: 1. Install a bracket, which is provided in the rack chassis package, onto the MC unit as shown below: 2.
2.3 Rack Mounting One rack mounting kit is supplied in the product package. It includes two rack mounting brackets and screws for installing the system unit into a 19-inch rack. Mount both brackets onto the system unit as shown below: Install the system unit into a 19-inch rack as shown below: 15 www.versitron.
Chapter 3 Network Management 3.
3.3 Setup for Out-of-band (Console) Management Before doing any in-band management, it is necessary to perform console operations for configuring IP and SNMP related settings for the first time the system is being installed. The console port is located on the SNMP module. Any PC running Windows 95/98/XP/2000/2003 can be used as a console via the COM port. Windows Hyper Terminal program is an ideal, and the most popular, software for such console terminal operations.
3.4 Setup for In-band Management To perform an in-band management, it is necessary to connect the system to your TCP/IP network. The steps are: 1. Configure IP and SNMP related settings to the system using direct console management the first time the system is being installed. 2. Find a proper straight-through Category 5 UTP cable (maximal length 100 meters) for the connection. 3.
Chapter 4 Console and Telnet Operation Functions supported: • Set and display IP parameters for the system. • Set and display SNMP parameters for the SNMP agent function. • Monitor system power status, power temperature status, system fan status and other system information. • Monitor installation status of each slot. • Monitor the configuration and link status of each MC installed. • Restore default settings for the system • Change administrator password for access control. • Update system software.
Cold Start When the power to the system is turned on, the system-start initialization and self-test process starts up. The selftest messages are displayed as follows if a console connection is established successfully: Power-on Self-test -----------------------------------------------------$$$ System LOADER Checksum O.K !!! $$$ System IMAGE Checksum O.K !!! $$$ Sytem DATA Checksum O.K !!! $$ Waiting Copy Rom to Sdram $$$ System Power On Self Test....

The following information is required for TFTP operations: TFTP Server IP Address: IP address of the TFTP server where the firmware image.bin is downloaded from.
Chapter 5 SNMP Management SNMP management is performed at a network management station running SNMP network management application manager software with graphical user interface. The following figure illustrates an example model: The system unit serves as an SNMP agent and provides the capabilities that allows network administrators via SNMP protocol to set parameters and view system status and media converter status defined in the standard MIBII and private MIB. 5.
5.2 SNMP Private MIB Use the SNMP management application software to compile the MIB file first before performing any management operation. In addition to standard MIB-II (RFC1213), the system supports private MIB as below: Private MIB Objects ssPowerStatus(kti.30.1.1) ssFanStatus(kti.30.1.2) cputype(kti.30.2.1) flashrom(kti.30.2.2) memsize(kti.30.2.3) softwarever(kti.30.2.4) mibFileVer(kti.30.2.5) portNumber(kti.30.3.1) portTable(kti.30.3.
