1. Introduction
The FVT-5000 16 Slots Managed Converter Chassis is a combination of 16-slot
host cabinet and optional several of media converter bracket modules. A
maximum 16-bracket module can be installed in the cabinet with two redundant
power supplies. The Power supply supports AC input type with load sharing
redundant feature. The converter supports TS-1000 standard that provides loop
back test to ensure the converter failure and remote configuration allows remote
set up the module of the converter or the converter.
With build-in Web-based Management, Managing and Configuring the 16 Slots
Managed Converter Chassis becomes easier. From cabinet management to
each bracket module, user can visually configure and manage your network via
Web Browser. The 16 Slots Managed Converter Chassis can also be managed
via Telnet, Console, or third-party SNMP Management.

1.3. Management Methods
The FVT-5000 Managed Converter Chassis supports following management
methods:
1.3.1. Console and Telnet
Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port that requires a
direct connection between PC and the Device. The Telnet management is
through the network. Once the Device is on the network, you can use Telnet
program to Log in and modify the configuration.
1.3.2. Web-based
The 16 Slots Managed Converter Chassis provides an embedded HTML web
program in flash memory. It offers advanced management features and allow
users to manage the 16 Slots Managed Converter Chassis from anywhere on
the network through any HTTP browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. For
more information, see Section 5 Web-Based Management.
1.3.3. SNMP Network
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a way to monitor and
control network device, such as configurations, statistic collection, performance,
and security.
Data is collected by SNMP agents, which are hardware & software processes
reporting activity in each network device. The agent reports information
contained in a MIB format (Management Information Base), which is a data
structure that defines what is obtainable from the device and what can be
controlled.
