4 Network Connectivity
Connecting Chassis SICs to the Network
CAUTION
: Connect input/output network cables ONLY to SICs within the same network protocol (such as
Ethernet-to-Ethernet, Fast Ethernet-to-Fast Ethernet, ATM-to-ATM). Failure to observe this caution will cause
data transfers to fail.
SICs to Network Connections
Once the ION219-x chassis has been installed, the SICs can be connected to the network. Refer to the SIC user
guide for cabling specifications and instructions.
Chassis Daily Operation
Daily operation of the ION219-x chassis requires no network administrator activity except for the occasional
monitoring of the status LED indicators on the chassis and on the installed SICs.
SIC Monitoring
The IONMM and each SIC have one or more LED indicators to help monitor the ION219-x chassis in the network.
Refer to the user guide for the IONMM and each SIC to interpret the LED indicators.
Network Management
Firmware and FocalPoint Applications
The ION219-x firmware in the IONMM is described in the IONMM user guide. See the ION System
for links to ION manuals and other resources.
The ION219-x firmware is embedded in the management module. The firmware allows the network
administrator to configure and manage the SICs in the ION219-x chassis from an attached terminal or from a
remote, networked computer.
The firmware includes the Lantronix Command Line Interface (CLI), a telnet server, a Web browser, and an
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent.
In addition, Lantronix FocalPoint application installs in the networked computer to provide a Graphical User
Interface (GUI) to monitor the ION219-x chassis.
