Network Resilience
Each chassis can be configured with either one, or
two power supply modules (AC) to provide
resilience against a power supply failure.The
management module monitors the state of each
power supply, and that of the cooling fans, and will
generate an alarm should any parameter fall
outside of normal operating conditions. With
redundant power supplies installed, a power
supply can be remove or re-inserted into the
chassis without interruption to the media blade
traffic.

Expandability
Multiple AT-MCF2xxx chassis’ can be stacked
together, and all managed by a single
AT-MCF2000M management module. Slave chassis
need to have an AT-MCF2000S slave module
installed. Stacked chassis’ can consist of any mix of
AT-MCF2000 and AT-MCF2300 chassis, with a
maximum of 16 blade slots, supported in a single
stack.

Field Maintenance
The need to simplify field maintenance was a key
criteria in the design of the AT-MCF2x00. Each
management module is fitted with a memory card
slot, allowing network administrators to keep an
exact copy of the configuration information of a
chassis.The configuration information of the
chassis is stored not only in the management
module, but also on each blade. If a management
module fails, a replacement blade can be hot
installed into the chassis, and it can assume all the
configuration parameters of the failed unit.
Similarly, if a media blade fails, this can be hot
swapped with a replacement, and the replacement
will adopt the parameters of the failed unit.These
features ensure that an engineer sent to site can
quickly and easily get a faulty chassis back to an
operational mode.

MissingLink and Smart MissingLink
(SML)
(SML)
The MissingLink (ML) feature allows the ports on
the media converter blade to pass the ‘Link’ status
of their connections to each other. When the
media converter detects a problem with one of
the ports, such as the loss of connection to a
node, it shuts down the connection to the other
port, thus notifying the node that the connection
has been lost.The Smart MissingLink (SML)
feature provides the same function as MissingLink
with one additional feature that when a link is lost
on a port, the Link LED of the port which still has
a valid connection to its end-node starts to blink.
These features allow network administrators to
quickly troubleshoot network problems.
