The Fiber Driver^® EM316NM Network Management Module provides monitoring and management for a Fiber Driver chassis system. It polls each active Fiber Driver module in its chassis using public and MRV MIBs for critical information such as MAC addresses, module types, and link status. The management module also enables module loopback testing and provides the ability to configure parameters such as the system IP address. It monitors for loss of signal on data ports, temperature out of range, power supply status, fan status, and transmit and receive signal detection. It also supports an extensive array of traps with automatic e-mail notification and system messages.

The EM316NM module provides three ways to manage a Fiber Driver chassis, modules, and fiber infrastructure.
1) Out-of-band management using a command line interface (CLI) through the RS-232 connector.
2) In-band management using Telnet (through the 10BaseT Ethernet connector) from the Ethernet network.
3) SNMP (In-band management) throug Communications’ Mega Vision Pro^® or any standard network management system using SNMP.
