Chapter 5. Management Basics
...getting started with the EM316LNXNM-OT manager for Fiber
Driver
This chapter includes only Fiber Driver management features
that are not specific to any device. Later chapters may
introduce commands for specific Fiber Driver devices. Use the
latest product revisions to ensure support for all features.
The EM316LNXNM (LNXNM) network management module provides monitoring and configuration
access to a chassis and all installed manageable components. The EM316LNXNM-MCC module is
integrated into the Media Cross Connect (MCC) chassis. Installing the EM316LNXNM-OT in any slot
of a powered Fiber Driver multi-slot chassis is recommended for most applications. This chapter uses
Fiber Driver examples to introduce the LNXNM basic concepts and commands that apply to both product
platforms except where noted otherwise.
While the factory default device configurations may address some applications, network management is
a powerful tool for proactive Fiber Driver administration and reduced operating expenses. The LNXNM
provides monitoring and configuration access locally or remotely through the serial or Ethernet ports.
The LNXNM provides a command line interface (CLI) that is accessible either through a local serial
console or from the IP network using SSH or Telnet. This section includes common CLI commands and
management concepts. The display examples may vary slightly between LNXNM firmware versions.
Refer to the CLI help commands in this chapter for complete command lists, options, and syntax.
The network management module also provides Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support
to allow control through any industry standard network management system (NMS). MRV's MegaVision
Pro is a general purpose network management system with unique graphical support for MRV products
including Fiber Driver. A limited version of MegaVision called "Configurator" is available for trial
through the MRV website. Refer to

software, documentation, and more product details. ResourceFinder is the powerful graphical system
designed for MCC management in any application. MegaVisionJ is a compact graphical manager that is
built into the EM316LNXNM-OT firmware to manage only a single chassis system. Access this interface
from any standard Java-enabled web browser with an IP route to the LNXNM. Some GUI management
windows are included later in this manual.
