1 Introduction and Description
Product Description
The ION219-x is an intelligent, high-density, multi-protocol system supporting a variety of network interface
devices. Designed for both carrier class and enterprise network applications where multiple points of fiber
integration and secure network management of the fiber interface devices is essential. An end-to-end fiber
integration solution can be achieved by pairing the modules in a high density ION chassis with the modules in
another ION chassis, an ION stand-alone, or a Lantronix’ Point System™ stand-alone device. 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
cards in the ION Chassis. Each slide-in-module for the ION Chassis has specific features and functions that are
controlled via the IONMM. A network administrator can configure, monitor, and troubleshoot ION slide-in-
modules remotely via the IONMM.
