P ref ac e P.1 About this Manual This guide covers both the MIL-4750 and the MIL-4755 Master/Slave modules. These modules were designed to be installed into MiLAN’s Media Conversion System. The terms “Master/Slave module” and “module” are used throughout this document to describe these devices. This manual assumes that you are familiar with the tasks of a system administrator. P.
Preface P.3 Contents of this Document • Chapter 1: Has an overview of the Master/Slave modules • Chapter 2: Provides instructions for installing the modules • Chapter 3: This section has information on FastManage for the MIL-4750 Master module P R E F A C E • Appendix A: Specifications information for both modules • Appendix B: Technical support information P.
Ch ap te r 1 : In tro d u c tio n Chapter 1 gives a description of the MIL-4750 and MIL-4755 Master/Slave modules. 1.1 Overview of the Master/Slave Modules 1.1.1 MIL-4750 Master Module The MIL-4750 Master module is designed to provide two-way communication between a host workstation and MiLAN’s media conversion modules. Communication between these devices is performed via the network link and SNMP management. The module uses auto-negotiation to perform in either 10/100 Mbps. Figure 1-1.
Chapter 1 1.2 Features One MIL-4750 Master module can support (in a daisy-chain configuration via the serial RS-422 interface) up to four MIL4755 Slave modules. Definition of daisy-chain: "out" port of 4750 to "in" port of 4755. Last 4755 "out" port to "in" port of 4750. I N T R O D U C T I O N 1.2.1 Common Features for Both Modules • Hot-swappable • Diagnostic LED(s) 1.2.
Ch ap te r 2 : In s ta lla tio n Chapter 2 gives installation information for the modules. 2.1 Installation Requirements Before installing a module, you will need the following (most items sold separately): • An MIL-9200X Media Conversion System • Ethernet cabling (CAT 5 for in-band management) • RS-232 Serial cabling (for out-of-band management) • Female DB9 connector to RJ45. 2.
Chapter 2 3. Slide the module into the slot through the guide rails. 4. Insert the module into the card-edge connector (port bay). Make sure it is seated firmly. 5. Secure the module with the two thumbscrews located on the faceplate of the unit. 6. Make all your network connections. I N S T A L L A T I O N Note: Do not plug a phone cable (RJ-11) into the RS-232 and/or RJ-45 connectors. 2.3 DIP Switch Settings On the front panel of the MIL-4750 module is a two-position DIP switch.
Ch ap t e r 3 : Fa s tMa n ag e fo r th e M edia Co nve rs io n S y s te m Chapter 3 discusses FastManage-specific software as it applies to the media conversion system, including the MIL-4750 Master module. This chapter does not have detailed FastManage instructions (refer to the FastManage User’s Guide section of the LAN Products CD-ROM). 3.1 Overview of FastManage FastManage configures and manages most SNMP-types of devices over the subnet; including print servers and stackable hubs.
Chapter 3 display its “stack” of device(s) (Figure 3-1). • Media Conversion System Mgr. Icon: a. Also start the software by double-clicking on the Media Conversion System Mgr. icon. b. Enter the IP Address of a specific device that you want to manage. c. A “stack” of SNMP managed device(s) appear. One to sixteen devices may be displayed (Figure 3-1). F A S T M A N A G E Figure 3-1. Stack Device Graphical Icon d. To launch a device in the stack, double-click on that particular unit.
Chapter 3 Figure 3-2. First Device of a Stack e. Double-click on a module to launch it. Figure 3-3 may appear (depending on the module selected). Note: MiLAN offers many different modules to configure, including the MIL-4750 (shown in Figure 3-3). All modules, except the MIL-4755 slave module, have hot spots where the user can gain information. Figure 3-3. MIL-4750 Master Module 3.3 Hot Spots and System Information Hot spots on the graphic are used to gain information on the device.
Chapter 3 MIL-9200X redundant rack mount chassis. For more information and detailed descriptions of these hot spots, refer to the FastManage User’s Guide section of the LAN Products CD-ROM. • Traps (Figure 3-1): This selection alerts the user to any problem associated with the device (e.g., a power failure). • System Information (Figure 3-1): This selection describes the device chosen, including its Location and Up Time.
