Currently, Omni Switch/Router switching modules consist of Gigabit Ethernet modules, auto-
sensing Ethernet modules, Fast 10/100 Ethernet modules, 10 Mbps Ethernet modules, WAN
modules, and Voice Over IP (VOIP) modules. See Chapter 3, “Omni Switch/Router Switching
Modules,” for documentation.
♦ Important Note ♦
Omni Switch/Router modules require the use of an
Omni Switch/Router chassis (see Omni Switch/Router
Chassis and Power Supplies on page 1-7). Do not
install an Omni Switch/Router module in an
OmniSwitch chassis and do not install an OmniSwitch
module in an Omni Switch/Router chassis.
Omni Switch/Router User Interface (UI) Software
Omni Switch/Router hardware uses the same User Interface (UI) commands and Network
Management Software (NMS) as OmniSwitch hardware. Omni Switch/Router modules support
broadcast management, multicast management, any-to-any switching, virtual LANs (VLANs),
firewalls, user authentication, WAN access, and policy-based configuration.
♦ Important Note ♦
In Release 4.4 and later, the Omni Switch/Router is
factory-configured to boot up in
CLI (Command Line
Interface) mode, rather than in UI (User Interface)
mode. Chapter 4, “The User Interface,” includes docu-
mentation on changing from CLI mode to UI mode.
Omni Switch/Router Network Management Software (NMS)
You need Release 3.4, or higher, of Alcatel’s X-Vision Network Management Software (NMS)
to operate with Omni Switch/Router hardware.
