Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1. Overview
This document lists the changes made from the previous and formally released EM316LNXNM-OT
network management module firmware version of - v4.5 build NN; including fixes and issues for the new
version. As and if new issues are found, this document will be updated and redistributed accordingly.
Please refer to the MRV website for the latest version of this document.
1.2. Abstract
The EM316LNXNM-OT is Fiber Driver network management module (NMM) from MRV
Communications. With Linux-based system software and an advanced hardware design, the new Linux
NMM incorporates many new features and delivers an impressive level of performance. It provides
complete setup and management control for the range of Fiber Driver products as noted in chapter "List
of modules supported", representing the ultimate in multi-service optical transport network management.
1.3. Management Features
Using public and MRV private MIBs, the EM316LNXNM-OT polls active Fiber Driver modules for
critical information such as MAC addresses, module types and link status. It enables provisioning of the
modules installed in the same chassis such as loop-back testing, and provides the ability to configure
parameters including the system IP address. The management module also monitors operating temperature,
power supply status, fan status, and fully supports Digital Diagnostics for optical performance monitoring
of pluggable transceivers. Event traps can be set to provide instant alerts to potential problems. Logically,
the Linux NMM provides a standardized Command Line Interface (CLI) for local access as well as SSH or
optional Telnet remote access. Remote in-band access is available through any SNMP-enabled Network
Management System (NMS). MRV Communications' own MegaVision Pro NMS provides a complete
GUI for the Linux NMM. Configuration files can be uploaded/downloaded in standard ASCII format,
allowing configurations to be edited offline and to be saved remotely. To further ease system setup and
management, macro commands/scripts can be saved to and activated from the management module's
Flash File system. The Linux NMM can be accessed both locally and remotely. Physically, it has an
RS-232 interface for local out-of-band access, and for in-band access a 10/100Base-TX interface and dual
redundant (or cluster/ring/loop redundancy) 100Base-FX Ethernet fiber ports with SFP interface slots. The
NMM communicates with the other modules in the chassis over a management bus (see I2C bus in the
body).
