Cautions and Warnings
Definitions
Cautions indicate that there is the possibility of poor equipment performance or potential damage to the
equipment. Warnings indicate that there is the possibility of injury to person.
Cautions and Warnings appear here and may appear throughout this manual where appropriate. Failure to read
and understand the information identified by this symbol could result in poor equipment performance, damage
to the equipment, or injury to persons.
Cautions
Caution: Do not ship or store devices near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic, or radioactive fields.
Caution: When handling chassis Devices (NIDs) observe electrostatic discharge precautions. This requires proper grounding
(i.e., wear a wrist strap).
Caution: Copper based media ports, e.g., Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet, USB, RS232, RS422, RS485, DS1, DS3, Video Coax, etc.,
are intended to be connected to intra-building (inside plant) link segments that are not subject to lightening transients or
power faults. They are not to be connected to inter-building (outside plant) link segments that are subject to lightening.
Caution: Do not install the NIDs in areas where strong electromagnetic fields (EMF) exist. Failure to observe this caution
could result in poor NID performance.
Caution: Read the installation instructions before connecting the chassis to a power source. Failure to observe this caution
could result in poor performance or damage to the equipment.
Caution: Only trained and qualified personnel should install or perform maintenance on the device. Failure to observe this
caution could result in poor performance or damage to the equipment.
Caution: Do not let optical fibers come into physical contact with any bare part of the body since they are fragile, and
difficult to detect and remove from the body.
Caution: Do not bend any part of an optical fiber/cable to a diameter that is smaller than the minimum permitted according
to the manufacturer’s specification (usually about 65 mm or 2.5 in)!

Warnings
Warning: Use of controls, adjustments, or the performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Warning: Visible and invisible laser radiation when open. Do not look into the beam or view the beam directly with optical
instruments. Failure to observe this warning could result in an eye injury or blindness.
Warning: DO NOT connect the power supply module to external power before installing it into the chassis. Failure to
observe this warning could result in an electrical shock or death.
Warning: Select mounting bracket locations on the chassis that will keep the chassis balanced when mounted in the rack.
Failure to observe this warning could allow the chassis to fall, resulting in equipment damage and/or possible injury to
persons.
Warning: Do not work on the chassis, connect, or disconnect cables during a storm with lightning. Failure to observe this warning
could result in an electrical shock or death.
See Electrical Safety Warnings on page 28 for Electrical Safety Warnings translated into multiple languages.
Disconnect all power sources.
This device has or supports more than one power source (e.g., different voltages/frequencies or as redundant
power). For the removal of all power from the device, please be aware of the following per IEC 60417-6042
(2010-11) and IEC 60417-6172 (2012-09):
Caution: Shock hazard
Caution: Disconnect all power sources
Débranchez toutes les sources d’alimentation.
Cet appareil possède ou prend en charge plus d’une source d’alimentation (p. ex., différentes tensions/fréquences ou
comme alimentation redondante). Pour la suppression de toute alimentation de l’appareil, veuillez tenir compte des
dispositions suivantes conformément aux normes CEI 60417-6042 (2010-11) et CEI 60417-6172 (2012-09) :
: Mis en garde : Risque de choc

1 Introduction and Description
Product Description
The ION219-x is an intelligent, high-density, multi-protocol system supporting a variety of network interface
devices. Designed for both carrier class and enterprise network applications where multiple points of fiber
integration and secure network management of the fiber interface devices is essential. An end-to-end fiber
integration solution can be achieved by pairing the modules in a high density ION chassis with the modules in
another ION chassis, an ION stand-alone, or a Lantronix’ Point System™ stand-alone device. To take full
advantage of all the features and functions available with the ION Chassis, an ION Management Module
(IONMM) is required. The IONMM connects to the chassis backplane and communicates with the individual
cards in the ION Chassis. Each slide-in-module for the ION Chassis has specific features and functions that are
controlled via the IONMM. A network administrator can configure, monitor, and troubleshoot ION slide-in-
modules remotely via the IONMM.
Features
Access Methods
•Web-browser: Access the ION Management Module using a standard web browser such as Internet Explorer
or Mozilla Firefox.
•Command Line Interface (CLI): CLI access can be done via telnet remotely or via the local console port on
the ION Management Module.
•SNMP: Since the ION platform is based on public MIBs you can easily manage the ION with a standard
network management system (NMS) such as SNMPc, HPOV or any other standard SNMP platform.
Security Features
When the optional management module is used, the following security features are available, allowing you to
control access to the ION Chassis via the ION Management Module. Ensuring that only authorized personnel can
view and change the settings to the slide-in-modules.
•Management VLAN
•SSL
•SSH
•802.1x
•SNMPv1, v2, and v3
Key Management Features
•Variety of management access methods including; telnet, web, SNMP
•Single slot design allows for more slide-in-modules to be inserted in the ION Chassis
•Management VLAN
•Based on Public MIBs
•Two 10/100 Ethernet interfaces
•USB console port
•Syslog
•TFTP upgrade/backup of slide-in-modules
•Import/Export configuration files in human readable / editable format
•Multiple community strings
