Management Traffic
Although the Managed Media Converter provides a twisted pair port solely for management
traffic (EXT MGMT), you can configure the Managed Media Converter to accept
management traffic from any of its three ports. You can enable management on more than
one port, or you can disable management on all of the ports, if desired.
DIP switch 1 = On for management on the EXT MGMT port.
DIP switch 2 = On for management on the DATA port.
DIP switch 3 = On for management on the OPTICS or UPLINK port.
NOTE: Remote modules can only pass management from the OPTICS (or UPLINK) port to the EXT
MGMT port. Management is blocked from the DATA port regardless of the DIP switch setting.
Installation Instructions
Each Managed Media Converter module requires one slot in a chassis. To install the module
in a chassis, remove the blank faceplates covering the slots, if necessary, where you want to
install the module. Then slide the module into the chassis card guides until the module is
seated securely in the connector. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive
screw.
The Managed Media Converter module includes on-board SNMP logic. When installed in an
iMediaChassis, manage the Managed Media Converter module from the chassis by using the
Unified Management Agent (UMA). Refer to
http://www.blackbox.com
for more information
about using UMA with iConfig and iMediaChassis.
When installed in a managed chassis, you can also manage the Managed Media Converter
module from the chassis by using the Unified Management Agent (UMA). Refer to the
iView
2
online help for more information on using UMA with iConfig, a managed chassis and
Managed Media Converter.
Managed Media Converter modules not managed by UMA must have an IP address assigned
to them after installation before they can be managed. Refer to the
Assigning IP Information
section for more information.

Now the Managed Media Converter is configured to pass only VLAN ID 13 from the OPTICS
(or UPLINK) port to the DATA port. Untagged packets arriving at the DATA port (Tags =
N) receive a tag (VLAN ID = 13) before being sent out of the OPTICS (or UPLINK) port.
The VLAN ID number used for a port must be different than the number used for the
Management VLAN ID.
