I - About the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II
Overview
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II ™ allows network operators to deploy managed Ethernet
services, with a full range of remote management, traffic monitoring, and alarm
reporting features. This unit converts 1000 Mbps fiber to 10/100/1000 Mbps copper.
In addition, a range of fiber connectors (SC, ST, or SFP) and a variety of wavelengths,
supporting higher density CWDM and single-strand fiber operation are available.
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II supports two main configuration modes: Standalone or
Host/Remote. When using Host/Remote, the Remote modules can be fully managed
without an IP address using a secure management channel (when the SNMP module
is installed in the same chassis). In either mode, the network operator can choose to
assign an IP address to the Host or Standalone module. Or, if using a local
iMediaChassis managed chassis, all local and remotely connected iMcV-Giga-
FiberLinX-II modules can be managed using the single IP address of the chassis. This
not only preserves IP addresses and reduces configuration complexity, but
management traffic traveling on the non-IP based transmission channel is kept
isolated from customer traffic, enhancing network security.
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II offers the following features:
• Securely separates the SNMP management network from the data network
• IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Tagging
• Q-in-Q VLAN Extra-Tagging
• Remote traffic monitoring
• Remote automatic alarms
• Bandwidth limiting
• FiberAlert (loss return)
• FX and TX LinkLoss (loss pass-through)
• Loopback testing
• Autonegotiation
• Selective Advertising
• AutoCross
