Omnitron - Remote management adapter

The Network Management Module (NMM) provides the heart of the management system. It features a 32-bit, high performance RISC microprocessor executing a real-time operating system. It supports the SNMP protocol and is capable of controlling and managing up to 16 managed chassis. The NMM features a serial port for initial configuration, a front-plane or a backplane Ethernet management port and a pair of multi-chassis management ports. Management can be accomplished In-Band via the backplane Ethernet port connecting to an adjacent 10/100 iConverter thus supporting direct access to the NMM via the operational network. Out-of-Band management can be accomplished via the front-plane Ethernet port facilitating a secure management network.

During normal operation the NMM polls all converters and power supplies within its domain each second, collecting status and module information as well as setting required parameters. It reports its collected status via the SNMP protocol to the management software. The NMM is password protected to prevent unauthorized access. New module software updates to the NMM can be downloaded during normal network operation via the serial port while preserving existing module parameter settings. The NMM is hot-swappable and can be used in a redundant fault-tolerant mode.
