You can configure media conversion modules managed by the SNMP
agent by using your MIB Browser and changing the values in the
MCIMC.MIB. The table below lists all of the read-write MIB objects along
with a description of what each does.
For MIB objects that are port-specific, add the number of the chassis, the
slot number the module is installed in and port number after the MIB object
name, using periods to separate the values. For example, to specify the port
description for the fiber port on an
TX/FX
module installed in the fourth slot
of your chassis, input a value for the MIB object
mcPortPortDescr.1.4.2
. In
this example,
1
is the chassis number,
4
is the slot number and
2
is the port
number. Contact Black Box technical support if you need further assistance
in configuring your
Media Converter System II
and/or modules.
LED Indicators
Media Converter System II
chassis feature several LEDs as illustrated below.
