ION Management Modules

The ION Management Module (IONMM) is a single slot design slide-in module that allows you to configure and manage all of the other ION family slide-in modules installed in an ION Chassis and remotely connected standalone modules. The IONMM can also manage standalone ION family Network Interface Devices (NIDs) that are configured as remote devices (connected to a corresponding slide-in module in the ION chassis). 

The IONMM connects directly to the chassis backplane and communicates with the individual ION slide-in modules installed within that ION Chassis. Only management traffic is sent across the ION Chassis backplane in order to maintain the security of management access and information. No customer data traffic is shared on the backplane. The purpose of all other ION slide-in modules is to provide a network interface to various devices.

Each slide-in module for the ION Chassis has specific features and functions that are controlled via the ION Management Module. A network administrator can configure, monitor and troubleshoot ION slide-in modules remotely via the ION Management Module. This remote management helps reduce Operating Expenses (OpEx) by reducing technician dispatches. Remote management allows for faster mean-time-to-repair (MTTR) by proactively sending traps and alerts on potential issues. With less downtime you are able to focus on the revenue generating aspects of your busines
