About the AccessEtherLinX
The AccessEtherLinX Series enables service providers to offer differentiated data
networking or VPN services to multi-tenant building and business customers.
Residing at the customer premises or at the service provider POP, AccessEtherLinX
provides a VLAN-based Layer 2 entry point to the MAN fiber network, trunking,
differentiating and separating customer traffic. Featuring SNMP management,
bandwidth control, QoS, traffic prioritization and multicast pruning (using IGMP v1,
v2), it is an ideal solution for delivering Ethernet-based services to customers quickly
and cost-effectively.
AccessEtherLinX offers configuration access via Telnet, serial console and SNMP
software. Software upgrades can be initiated via any one of these access methods
using a TFTP server. Additionally IMC's iConfig/ iView² can be used for software
upgrades as a single source solution.
The AccessEtherLinX/3 includes one Uplink port (either 100Base-FX fiber or 10/100
twisted pair) and three 10/100 twisted pair Ethernet ports (for connecting
users/LANs). It also employs a universal, external switching power cube with 100 -
240 ±10% VAC input and 5V DC output.
The AccessEtherLinX/4 includes one Uplink port (either 100Base-FX fiber or 10/100
twisted pair), four 10/100 twisted pair Ethernet downlink ports (for connecting
users/LANs) and an internal 100 - 240 ±10% AC power supply.
Single-strand fiber versions of the AccessEtherLinX/4 and /3 are also available.
NOTE
The generic term "AccessEtherLinX" refers to both the AccessEtherLinX/3 and the
AccessEtherLinX/4.
Installing the AccessEtherLinX
The AccessEtherLinX comes ready to install; there is no hardware configuration
required. All features, such as FiberAlert and Auto-Negotiation, are software
configurable.
Place the AccessEtherLinX on a flat surface, prior to installation. Attach the cables
between the AccessEtherLinX and each device that will be interconnected and then
plug the unit into a reliable, filtered power source.
