Brand: ADTRAN

Model: MX3

Type: Job Aid

ADTRAN MX3, a versatile networking solution, offers a range of capabilities to enhance your network management and connectivity. With its modular design, it accommodates expansion modules like the MX3 Remote Management Module (MX3RMM), enabling remote management of other systems on the network. Its four RS-232 terminal server ports allow remote connection to external devices, while the Ethernet jack provides LAN access for remote management and network connectivity.

3. Push the ejector latch against the front panel until it latches.

The MX3RMM initializes and begins a self-test upon insertion into a powered MX3 Chassis. When the

self-test completes the LEDs will reflect the true state of the card.

CONNECT AND LOGON

The MX3 Controller provides the management interface for the MX3RMM. The MX3RMM is

accessed by selecting

MX3RMM from the controller main menu. Refer to specific controller card

documentation for information about connecting and logging in to the system.

Ethernet

The Ethernet jack (ETHERNET) located on the MX3RMM front panel provides LAN access to the

Network. From this port, devices located on the local area network can be remotely managed. This port

has automatic rate detection and performs MDI/MDI-X crossover detection eliminating the need for a

crossover cable. The port can be accessed using standard CAT 5 cable with an RJ-45 connector. The

pin assignments for the RJ-45 connector are listed in the Ethernet Pin List on the reverse page.

WARNING: The Ethernet and Terminal Server Port 1-4 interfaces MUST NOT be metallically

connected to interfaces which connect to the Outside Plant or its wiring. These

interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only. The addition of

Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces

metallically to OSP wiring.

When the MX3RMM is installed, the MX3 Chassis rear panel Ethernet interface is redirected to the

MX3RMM and is bridged onto the local area network. Thus, the rear panel Ethernet jack can also be

used for network access.

Terminal Server

The MX3RMM contains four RS-232 interfaces (PORT1, PORT 2, PORT 3, and PORT 4) that provide

the ability to remotely connect to RS-232 managed devices.

WARNING: The 8 pin modular jacks used for the Terminal Server Port 1- 4 interfaces should never

be connected to a telecommunications network and are intended for connection to

RS-232 data interfaces only.

These ports are accessed by establishing a Telnet session to the MX3 system with the port number of

the particular port. The pin assignments for each of the RS-232 interfaces are listed in the PORT 1-4

Terminal Connector Pin List (below).

DESCRIPTION

The ADTRAN

MX3 Remote Management Module (MX3RMM) is a plug-in module for the MX3

Chassis (P/N 1189001L1) that provides the capability to remotely manage the MX3 system. The

MX3RMM bridges Ethernet traffic between two Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over T1/FT1 interfaces,

a front panel Ethernet jack and the rear chassis Ethernet jack. Both Ethernet jacks provide LAN access

giving a user the ability to remotely manage other systems located on the same network. Additionally,

four terminal server ports located on the front panel provide the capability to remotely manage external

RS232 devices.

LED STATUS

The MX3RMM front panel provides two LEDs for displaying activity and network information. The

NET LED displays status information about both network interfaces. If one of the network interfaces is

disabled, the

NET LED will only show information concerning the enabled network interface. Front

panel LED states are defined as follows:

ACT ! Green..........................Operation is normal

! Red.............................Card failure

! Amber ........................Link present on front panel Ethernet jack

4 Amber (Flashing).......Console open

NET ! Green..........................Network interface is operating and normal

4 Amber (Flashing

once per event)...........Network traffic present on active network interface

! Red.............................LOS on active network interface

! Amber ........................Network interface in test

" Off..............................Network interface not enabled

INSTALLATION AND TURNUP

After unpacking the unit, inspect it for damage. If damage has occurred, file a claim with the carrier,

then contact ADTRAN Customer Service. Refer to the Warranty information at the bottom of the

reverse page.

This module occupies an expansion slot in the MX3 Chassis. Follow the steps listed below to install

the MX3RMM.

1. Pull the ejector latch at the left side of the MX3RMM front panel from the latched or closed

position.

2. Gently, but firmly, slide the MX3RMM into the upper or lower expansion slot taking note of the

left and right guide grooves in the chassis. Simultaneously, apply thumb pressure at the left (on the

QUICK SETUP MENU

The Quick setup menu provides the ability to easily provision the MX3RMM for basic functionality. It

can be accessed from the Controller Card Quick Setup menu by selecting

MX3RMM Quick Setup Menu.

It can also be accessed by selecting

Quick Setup from the MX3RMM Main Menu.

Timeslot Assignment

Timeslot Assignment specifies the DS0 Channels that the MX3RMM will use to establish a PPP

connection to an adjacent interface. These time slots must be contiguous in the range of 1 to 24

available DS0 channels. The format for this field is

<starting DS0>-<ending DS0>.

Framing

Framing refers to the DS1 framing type used on both Interface A and Interface B. This setting will

apply to both interfaces. The options are ESF and SF.

Interface State

Interface State allows operation of the two interfaces to be enabled or disabled. When disabled, all

alarms and status indication for that interface are suppressed.

Primary Timing Mode

Primary Timing Mode identifies the transmit timing source of this interface. The options for this field

are as follows: Through, Loop, or Internal. In through timing mode, the transmit clock of an interface is

derived from the receive timing of the opposite interface. In loop timing mode, an interface uses its

own receive clock as its transmit clock source.

Secondary Timing Mode

Secondary Timing Mode identifies the timing source that is used upon failure or unavailability of the

primary timing source. The options for this field are as follows: Through, Loop, and Internal.
