<strong>NAT</strong>-<strong>MCH</strong> – <strong>Users</strong> <strong>Manual</strong><br />
7 Management Interface<br />
For interfacing to an external shelf or system controller the <strong>NAT</strong>-<strong>MCH</strong> is equipped with a<br />
Ethernet based management port. The management port can either reside on the front panel<br />
100 BaseT port or on the GbE Uplink port. An external shelf or system controller can<br />
communicate with the <strong>MCH</strong> by the exchange of IPMI messages. The IPMI messages are<br />
encapsulated in RMCP packets for transport via the Ethernet. By this standard interface the<br />
user has access to a broad range of open source and commercial tools to access and manage<br />
the <strong>MCH</strong>.<br />
The N.A.T. graphical system management JAVA application “N.A.T. NatView” utilizes this<br />
interface as well.<br />
