1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the CHASSIS, the 12-slot converter management rack. The
CHASSIS, with advanced management to increase network performance, is designed to be
the carrier's conversion chassis aiming at the application that require monitoring point-to-
point connection for the deployment of FTTX. In order to ease administrators’daily
maintenance and operation load, a network management converter is equipped within the
CHASSIS. The real-time operational status of the CHASSIS and any of the installed slide-in
converter can be monitored locally and remotely through this network management
converter.
1.1 Management Options
You can manage the CHASSIS and any of the installed slide-in converter modules in-band
or out-of-band. “In-band”management refers to managing the CHASSIS through the
10/100Base-T RJ-45 LAN port. “Out-of-band”management means going through the RS-
232 (RJ-45) port.
Following is a list of management options available in this CHASSIS:
Local Console Management
Telnet Management
SSH Management
SNMP Management
Web Management
Local Console Management
Local Console Management is done through the RS-232 (RJ-45) console port. This RS-232
(RJ-45) port is located at the front panel of the CHASSIS. Managing the CHASSIS in this
mode requires a direct connection between a PC and the CHASSIS.
Telnet Management
Telnet is done through the 10/100Base-T network. A RJ-45 connector is located at the back
panel of the CHASSIS. Once the CHASSIS is on the network, users can use Telnet to login
and monitor its status remotely.
SSH Management
SSH Management supports encrypted data transfer to prevent the data from being “stolen”
for remote management. You can use PuTTY, a free and open source terminal emulator
application which can act as a client for the SSH, to gain access to the CHASSIS.
SNMP Management
SNMP is done over the network. The CHASSIS private Management Information Base (MIB)
is provided for SNMP-based network management system.

8
You can use standard SNMP-based network management system, such as HP OpenView,
to manage the CHASSIS and any of the installed slide-in converter modules remotely
through the 10/100Base-T network correction. When you use a SNMP-based network
management system, the CHASSIS becomes one of the managed devices (network
elements) in that system. The CHASSIS network management module contains a SNMP
agent that will respond to the requests from the SNMP-based network management system.
These requests, which you can control, include and may vary from getting system
information to setting the device attribute’s values.
Web Management
Web is done over the network. Once the CHASSIS is on the network, you can log in and
monitor the status remotely through a web browser.
1.2 Management Preparation
After you have decided how you would like to manage your CHASSIS, you need to do the
cable connection, determine the CHASSIS IP address and, in some cases, install the MIB
shipped on disc or diskette with the CHASSIS.
Connecting the CHASSIS
It is very important that the proper cables with correct pin arrangement are being used when
connecting CHASSIS to the switches, hubs, workstations and other devices.
10/100Base-T RJ-45 Auto-MDI/MDIX Port
The 10/100Base-T RJ-45 Auto-MDI/MDI port is located on the front panel of the
CHASSIS. The 10/100Base-T port is used for remote, in-band network management.
It uses Category 3, 4, or 5 straight-through UTP or STP cable with the maximum
distance up to 328 feet (i.e. 100 meters).
RS-232 (RJ-45) Port
The RS-232 (RJ-45) port is located at the front of the CHASSIS. The RS-232 (RJ-45)
port is used for local, out-of-band management. By connecting the CHASSIS and a
PC via RS-232 (RJ-45) port, it allows you to configure the CHASSIS and check its
status even when the network is down.
Since the RS-232 (RJ-45) port of the CHASSIS is a DTE, a null modem is required to
connect the CHASSIS and PC.
IP Addresses
IP addresses have the format of n.n.n.n, where n is a decimal number between 0 and 255.
For example, an IP address could be: 168.168.8.100

9
IP addresses are made up in two parts:
The first part (168.168 in the example) refers as the network address identifying the
network on which the device resides. Network addresses are assigned by three
allocation organizations. Depending on your location, each allocation organization
assigns a globally unique network number to each network that wishes to connect to
the Internet.
The second part (8.100 in the example) identifies the device within the network.
Assigning unique device numbers is your responsibility. If you are unsure of the IP
addresses being allocated to you, consult the allocation organization from which your
IP addresses were obtained.
Remember that no two devices on a network can have the same address. If you connect to
the outside world, you must change all the arbitrary IP addresses to comply with those you
have been allocated by the network allocation organization. Otherwise, your outward
communications might not work.
A subnet mask is a filtering system for IP addresses. It allows you to further subdivide your
network. You must use the proper subnet mask for proper operation of a network with
subnets defined.
MIB for Network Management Systems
The CHASSIS private MIB (Management Information Base) is provided for managing the
CHASSIS through a SNMP-based network management system. You must install the MIB
before using that SNMP-based network management system.
The MIB file is on a disc or diskette shipped with the CHASSIS. It is a file with file extension
“.mib”, which a SNMP-based compiler can read and compile.

2. Command Line Interface (CLI)
This chapter describes how to use your CHASSIS Console Program, specifically in:
Local Console Management (out-of-band)
Telnet Management (in-band)
Configuring the system
Resetting the system
The interface and options are mostly the same in both Local Console and Telnet
Management. The only difference is the type of connection and the port that are used to
manage the CHASSIS.
2.1 Local Console Management
Local Console Management is always done through the RS-232 (RJ-45) port and requires a
direct connection between the CHASSIS and a PC. This type of management is very useful
especially when the network is down and the CHASSIS cannot be reached by any other
means.
You also need to use the Local Console Management to set up the CHASSIS network
configuration for the first time. You can set up the IP address and change the default
configuration to the desired setting to enable Telnet or SNMP.
Follow these steps to begin a management session using Local Console Management:
1. Attach the serial cable to the console RJ-45 port located at the front of the CHASSIS
with a null modem.
2. Attach the other end to the serial port of a PC or workstation.
3. Run a terminal emulation program using the following settings:
Emulation VT-100/ANSI compatible
BPS 9600
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow Control None
Enable Terminal keys
4. Press Enter to reach the Main menu.
