CHAPTER 1: ABOUT IMCV-GIGA-FIBERLINX-III

The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III allows network operators to deploy managed
Ethernet services with a full range of remote management, traffic monitoring, and
alarm reporting features. The single-wide module offers two fixed
10/100/1000Mbps copper ports and one fiber port in a fixed transceiver in a
variety of wavelengths. Another model offers an SFP port that allows copper or
fiber SFPs.
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III supports three main configuration modes:
Standalone, Host/Remote, or as a Host or a Remote. When using Host/Remote,
the Remote modules can be fully managed without an IP address over the fiber
optic segment. The network operator can choose to assign an IP address to the
Host or Standalone module in any mode. Or, if using a local iMediaChassis
managed chassis, all local and remotely connected iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III
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-III offers the following features:
• Securely separates SNMP Management network from 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
• Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT)
• Loopback Testing
• Auto Negotiation
• Selective Advertising
• IEEE-802.3ah OAM support
• Management through UMA
• Console
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III module is a single-slot, chassis-mounted module.
Compatible chassis include the following:
• iMediaChassis series
• MediaChassis series
• IE-MediaChassis series
NOTE: Some options require items that are sold separately, available from B+B SmartWorx.
