Configuration
The IE Managed Miniature Media Converter includes many features that function
automatically or are configurable via iView², iConfig, or a serial/Telnet session.
Auto-Cross Feature for Twisted Pair Connection
The twisted pair ports on the IE Managed Miniature Media Converter includes Auto-
Cross, a feature that automatically selects between a crossover workstation or straight-
through connection depending on the connected device.
Mini-Serial Port
Included with the IE Managed Miniature Media Converter is a serial port adapter for
configuration.
A standard AC mini-jack on the IE Managed Miniature Media Converter provides a
local, RS-232, Craft interface for management. A special mini-jack to DF-9F cable is
provided for direct connection to a PC serial port.
NOTE: To log on through the serial port, set the computer for VT-100 emulation, with: 38.4K baud, 8
data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control.
Assigning IP Information
To utilize SNMP-management in a standalone environment, the IE Managed
Miniature Media Converter IP configuration information (e.g., IP address, subnet
mask, etc.) must be assigned by using iConfig (from iView²), by using the unit’s serial
port or by using DHCP.
These methods will also allow you to create community strings, assign access rights,
configure traps and more. iConfig offers more options than serial port
configuration. After assigning the IE Managed Miniature Media Converter an IP
address, use iView² or another SNMP-compatible Network Management System
(NMS) for remote configuration, monitoring and management.
NOTE: Access to the Remote site’s IE Managed Miniature Media Converter for performance
upgrades and management through iConfig, Telnet, etc., can be gained through the IP
Address assigned to the Host unit or, when used in a standalone application, through its own,
unique IP address.
