  • Page 8: Overview

    Overview Introduction The VMIACC-5595* is a managed hub, designed to operate with GE’s VMIxxx-5565 Reflective Memory products. Without a hub device, the Reflective Memory nodes must be networked together in a daisy-chained loop. In the hub-less configuration if one node becomes inoperable, the entire loop becomes disabled. When the VMIACC-5595 hub is incorporated into the network, the network is converted from a loop to a star configuration.

  • Page 21: Cascading

    VMIACC-5595 can be cabled to another VMIACC-5595 to form the cascade. However, it is best to establish some convention to keep track of the port destinations. When connecting more than two hubs together, GE recommends using simplex cables. Simplex cables will not sacrifice an additional port with each cascaded hub.

  • Page 40: Detect Mode Options

    Operational Software Description Detect Mode Options Loss of Signal (LOS) Each Small Form factor Pluggable transceiver module has a LOS signal that goes high (1) when a SFP transceiver module fails to detect sufficient light within the normal spectral operating range. For Reflective Memory, the convention has been to treat this signal as a Signal Detect (not) rather than a Loss of Signal so each SFP’s LOS is inverted and presented in the Signal Detect column of the Ethernet Control and Status screen.
