Black Box LMC5207A-R3 Managed Media Converter Chassis, 20-Slot, Dual AC Power

Black Box LMC5207A-R3 20-Slot Rackmount Managed Media Converter Chassis, Dual AC Power

The LMC5207A-R3 20-Slot High-Density Media Converter System II Chassis makes it easy to consolidate multiple media converters in a single platform at a central point in your application. This 3U Rackmount chassis accommodates 20 media-converter modules plus an SNMP management module. Dual AC power supplies provide redundancy, if one power supply fails, the other keeps the chassis up and running. Power supplies are user-replaceable and hot-swappable. The High-Density Media Converter System II system supports a wide array of hot-swappable modules for converting copper to fiber, extending vDSL links, controlling bandwidth, and more. All modules offer easy installation, you just slide them in until seated firmly against the chassis backplane and tighten a screw.

This managed chassis model requires an optional SNMP Management Module (LMC5200A) to become fully manageable. The SNMP Management Module features a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX twisted-pair port for connection to your LAN and enables both module and chassis management. Once connected to your network, a chassis can even be assigned its own IP address. The software included with the SNMP Management Module enables you to configure and manage your chassis and its connections. Through the user-friendly IView interface, you can manage the chassis' modules and any intelligent networking devices on virtually any 32-bit Windows system. The GUI features device control panels, gives you detailed conversion port information, presents statistical information as charts, and more. And because the management module includes SNMP MIBs for support of industry-standard SNMP, you can monitor chassis temperature and voltage levels, diagnose network problems, and set up SNMP traps to alert you to potential network failures to lessen any potential downtime. You can even set a SNMP write-lock switch to protect the configurations of your installed modules from being accidentally overwritten. For out-of-band management, connect a console to the SNMP module's RS-232 port. The managed system uses DCHP, includes a TFTP client, and supports Telnet.
