About the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II Non-Telco, Telco and with Telco/Last
Gasp
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II is an optical demarcation network interface device (CPE),
allowing fiber network operators to connect to and manage remote network
segments. Advanced networking capabilities allow operators to easily observe both
end points and the fiber link between them as a single management entity, rather
than as separate networks. No host management traffic is visible to the remote or
customer network nor is access to the customer network required, guaranteeing end-
to-end data integrity. The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II offers 802.3ah OAM (passive).
Management is also available via the copper port; see Mode One for configuration
instructions.
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II includes one 100 Mbps fiber port (OPTICS), one 10/100
twisted pair data port (DATA), and one auxiliary Craft port for serial configuration
(with the included adapter). The twisted pair port can Auto Negotiate or be set
manually for 10 or 100 Mbps, and half or full-duplex. The optics port operates at
100 Mbps, full duplex mode only. Powering options include AC and DC power as
well as Power over Ethernet, functioning as a Powered Device (PD) compliant with
802.3af.
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II is 802.1Q VLAN compatible, supporting a full-range of VLAN
IDs, and offering Q-in-Q tagging and a 2-tier queue for differential prioritization
(802.1p). The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II also includes the LinkLoss and FiberAlert as well as
LinkFault Pass Through (LFPT) features for troubleshooting, loopback testing
functionality, bi-directional bandwidth control, and optional protection against
Broadcast storms. IMC Networks offers a Graphical User Interface (GUI) based
element management system called iView², which runs on SNMP.
Single-strand fiber versions of the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II allow two wavelengths to share
one fiber strand — Full-Duplex data travels on different wavelengths for example,
1310 nm and 1550 nm — doubling the capacity of fiber.
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II with Telco/Last Gasp provides support for the Last Gasp
feature. This feature alerts the end user if power to the device fails. A Trap can be
sent to indicate the down condition if Last Gasp is enabled via the CLI. Refer to the
Unit Control Settings section on page 26.
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II w/Telco and Telco/Last Gasp, provides support for Telco
environments, ±48 VDC.
NOTE
Unless noted otherwise, all reference to the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II in this manual are also
