Management card is designed for mounting into YUMIX 4000E chassis. Management cards may be combined for implementing cascade connections. They are used for element and network management and allow the user to configure and access various settings for all modules present in a chassis. Furthermore a management card also runs powerful network management software.

It manages various hardware and network faults by continuously communicating with all modules in a chassis over a dedicated internal bus and with other nodes in the network over the supervisory channel. Network management is done electrically through Fast Ethernet ports or optically through either one or two optical supervisory ports or via cross-connect and Line Card.

Interfaces:

• Fast Ethernet (Two independent auto-sensing RJ45 ports, supporting IEEE 802.3 10BaseT and IEEE 802.3u 100BaseTx)
• Modem (V.92/56K)
• USB 1.1
• Serial (Mini-USB socket)
• Option 1: One or two optical supervisory interfaces
• Option 2: Two more RJ45 ports (cannot be combined with option 1)
