2 Site Preparation
The ION219-x 19-Slot Chassis contains a fixed 100Mbs full duplex bus with point to-point connection with all
endpoints, which greatly improves data bandwidth and response time. Each endpoint in the system (Slide-In
Card (SIC), Backplane Controller (BPC), power supply (PS) and Agent) has a dedicated port on a 24-Port non-
blocking, full-bandwidth 100Mbps Ethernet switch, supporting simultaneous traffic between all endpoints.
You can achieve an end-to-end fiber integration solution by paring the modules in a high-density ION chassis
with the modules in another ION chassis. To take full advantage of all the features and functions available with
the ION chassis, an ION Management Module (IONMM) is required. The IONMM connects to the chassis
backplane and communicates with the individual installed SICs. The IONMM controls the specific features and
functions of each SIC.
The ION219-x allows the network administrator to connect various copper and fiber-optic network media.
The ION219-x chassis provides installation space for up to 19 single-slot SICs. See Figure 3 below.

Chassis Management Methods
The ION219-x chassis can be managed and monitored via the IONMM Management Module using the following:
•
Web-browser: Access the ION Management Module using a standard web browser such as Internet
Explorer
,
Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox.
•
Command Line Interface (CLI): CLI access can be done via telnet remotely or via the local console port on
the ION Management Module.
•
SNMP: Since the ION platform is based on public MIBs you can easily manage the ION with a standard
network management system (NMS) such as SNMPc, HPOV or any other standard SNMP platform.
•
Focal Point: Lantronix offers a free SNMP graphical user interface (GUI) software for management
purposes. Focal Point offers full read and read/write capabilities in a user friendly GUI.
