1 Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to provide you with information necessary to install, configure and use the
ION Management Module (IONMM-232) from Lantronix.
Product Description
The ION Management Module (IONMM-232) is a single slot design slide-in module that allows you to
configure and manage all of the other ION family slide-in cards (SICs) installed in an ION Chassis and
remotely connected standalone modules. The IONMM-232 can also manage standalone ION family
network interface devices (NIDs) that are configured as remote devices (connected to a slide-in module
in the ION chassis). The IONMM-232 connects directly to the chassis backplane and communicates with
the individual ION SICs installed within that ION Chassis. Only management traffic is sent across the ION
Chassis backplane in order to maintain security of management access and information. No customer
data traffic is shared on the backplane. The purpose of all other ION SICs is to provide a network
interface to various devices.
A simple ION System configuration is shown below.
Figure 1: Sample ION System Configuration
Each slide-in-card for the ION Chassis has specific features and functions that can be controlled via the
IONMM-232. A network administrator can configure, monitor and troubleshoot ION modules remotely
via the IONMM-232. Remote access to management information helps reduce operating expenses by
reducing technician dispatches and lowering the mean-time-to-repair by proactively looking for
potential issues and receiving detailed SNMP traps if a problem occurs.
