2 When using iView , the IE-iMcV-MultiWay can be fully managed without an IP address using a secure management channel. However, an IP address can be assigned through iView2 (iConfig view), the CLI or Telnet using the default IP address of 10.10.10.10. Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) OAM is a general term used in network management and is typically applied to a series of standard protocols for installing, monitoring, and troubleshooting Metropolitan Area Networks.
