The IMC-760 series of intelligent media converters connect a host/remote Ethernet network over a fiber optic or CAT5 copper connection. It combines media conversion with an advanced-feature set for network management and troubleshooting, including OAM (operation, administration, and management). Administrators can observe the end-points over the fiber segment between them as a single management entity. Bandwidth scalability and support for MIBs II makes this modular device a cost-effective solution.
The SNMP software, iView2 , allows for remoteconfiguration and alerts administrators to any potential problems on the long-haul fiber run, providing vital information on link conditions and reporting data on traffic statistics. With iView2 , the central location can manage all host/remote pairs installed in the IMC-71x series with the single IP address of the chassis.
