Valid Vlan IDs are between 1 and 4094. Valid priorities are between 0 and 7.
Type S or F3 to save the changes. Type Q or F4 to quit and cancel changes.
Transparent Mode – with either (not both) Data and Optics Mgmt dipswitches
set to on, all traffic passes between Optics and Data port EXCEPT what has
been defined as the Management Domain. The Management Domain can either be
defined as untagged traffic or traffic with a specified VLAN ID.
In Transparent Mode with BOTH Optics and Data Mgmt dipswitches set to off,
all traffic passes between the Optics and Data Ports.
Default Mode – the unit passes only Untagged Packets.
The unit is currently
in Default Mode

Enter Y for Transparent Mode, N for no Transparent Mode or <enter> to

Small Form-Factor Pluggable ports (SFP)
When using a Managed Media Converter module with SFPs, you must install a 100 Mbps
speed SFP. Many SFPs, including those from Black Box, feature enhanced diagnostics
capabilities with a Digital Diagnostics Monitoring Interface (DDMI). DDMI statistics provide
real-time access to transceiver operating parameters such as voltage, temperature, laser bias
current, and both transmitted and received optical power. DDMI information can be accessed
in iView

SFP Info
.
NOTE: Managed Media Converter has been tested with the Black Box SFP modules. You can install
any MSA-compliant SFP module. However, Black Box does not guarantee the functionality of
non-Black Box SFP modules due to possible non-conformity with the SFP design standards.
Autocross Feature for Twisted Pair Connection
All twisted pair ports on the Managed Media Converter include AutoCross, a feature that
automatically selects between a crossover workstation and straight-through connection
depending on the connected device.
Assigning IP Information
When the Managed Media Converter is installed in a managed chassis, you can use UMA to
manage your Managed Media Converter without an IP address (refer to the iView² online help
for more information on UMA). When the Managed Media Converter is not installed in a
managed chassis, SNMP-management is not accessible until the Managed Media Converter IP
information (e.g., IP address, subnet mask, etc.) is configured (using iConfig, a serial port craft
connection, or DHCP).
In addition to assigning an IP address and Subnet Mask, you can create Community Strings,
assign access rights, configure Traps, and more. After assigning Managed Media Converter an
IP address, you can use iView² or another SNMP-compatible Network Management System
(NMS) to remotely configure, monitor and manage the Managed Media Converter.
Software Configuration
The following sections describe the features you can configure by using the software.
Autonegotiation, Duplex Mode, and Speed
The DATA and EXT MGMT ports on the Managed Media Converter module auto-negotiate
for speed and duplex mode. This module also provides the option of selectively advertising or
forcing the speed and duplex mode. You configure these port features by using the serial port,
Telnet, or iView
2
. Refer to the iView² online help for Managed Media Converter module
configuration information.
Autonegotiation
The Managed Media Converter ships from the factory with Autonegotiation enabled on the
twisted-pair ports. In this mode, the ports negotiate for speed and duplex.
