  • Page 6: Powering Options

    Powering Options The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II powering options include AC and DC power as well as Power over Ethernet, functioning as a PD compliant with 802.3af. The DC Terminal block allows you to daisy-chain one IE-MiniFiberLinX-II to another. To use the DC terminal block, connect to any one positive and any one negative terminal from a power source.

  • Page 7: Product Applications

    Product Applications The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II comes with a variety of features for different network environments. When used with different types of IMC Products, some features can be enabled, such as extra tagging or “Q-in-Q”, and different network setups come with different requirements. The network setup example below shows one deployment scenario with a full range of management options.

  • Page 8: Modes Of Operation

    Modes of Operation The following are application examples of Operation Modes for the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II. There are six modes of operation that can be configured through the Serial/Telnet session. All modes of operation block management traffic from the user network on the Data port.
  • Page 9 Mode Three - Transparency with Tagged Management This mode will pass all tagged and untagged customer traffic. Management traffic must be tagged. It does not add or remove tags. Mode Four - Transparency with Extra Tagging (or Q-in-Q) This mode is designed to either pass all customer traffic with the defined extra tag (Q- in-Q) or add and remove the defined extra tag (Q-in-Q) on all customer traffic.
  • Page 10 Mode Five - VLAN Filter This mode is designed to only pass traffic with any of the 32 tags that have been identified in the user-defined table. No untagged traffic can pass and management traffic must be tagged. No tags are added or removed from the traffic. NOTE VLAN IDs can be any number between 1 and 4,094.

    Auto-Cross Feature for Twisted Pair Connection The twisted pair ports on the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II includes Auto-Cross, a feature that automatically selects between a crossover workstation or straight-through connection depending on the connected device.

  • Page 13: Software Configuration

    Software Configuration The following table presents port options configurable from iView² or from a serial/Telnet session. Refer to the iView² section later in this chapter or the iView² Help file for more information. For information on configuring VLANs, refer to the Serial Configuration/Telnet Session section in this chapter.

  • Page 14: Bandwidth Control

    In this mode, the port automatically negotiates for speed and duplex. The twisted pair port on the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II can also be manually set for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps operation and for Half- or Full-Duplex (i.e. 10 Mbps Full-Duplex, 10 Mbps Half-Duplex, 100 Mbps Full-Duplex or 100 Mbps Half-Duplex).

  • Page 15: Serial Configuration/Telnet Session

    FiberAlert minimizes the problems associated with the loss of one strand of fiber. If a “receive” strand is unavailable, the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II notes the lost link and will stop transmitting data and the link signal on the fiber-optic link until a signal or link pulse is received.

  • Page 16: Main Configuration Screen

    Assign the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II an IP address before using a Telnet session (the default IP address is 10.10.10.10). All configurations performed using the serial port can also be performed using Telnet. Multiple accounts can be assigned with individual names and passwords.
