About the iMcV-FiberLinX-II
NOTE
Unless noted otherwise, all references to the iMcV-FiberLinX-II in this manual are also
applicable to the iMcV-FiberLinX-II TX/SFP and iMcV-FiberLinX-II SFP/SFP.
Overview
The iMcV-FiberLinX-II allows network operators to deploy managed Ethernet services,
with a full range of remote management, traffic monitoring, and alarm reporting
features. Operators can choose from enhanced versions combining 100 Mbps fiber
to 10/100 Mbps copper media conversion, or an all-copper version. The fiber-to-
copper versions are available for a range of fiber connectors (SC, ST, or SFP) and a
variety of wavelengths, supporting higher density CWDM and single-strand fiber
operation.
The iMcV-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. 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-FiberLinX-II modules can be managed using a single IP address (the
iMediaChassis IP address). 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-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 with EtherType (TPID) selection
• Remote traffic monitoring
• Remote automatic alarms
• Bandwidth limiting
• FiberAlert (loss return)– Fiber versions only
• FX and TX LinkLoss Link: Fault Pass Through (LFPT)
• Loopback testing
• Auto Negotiation
• Selective Advertising
• AutoCross
• Broadcast Storm Protection
