Configuration

The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II includes many features that function automatically or are
configurable via iView², iConfig, or a serial/Telnet session.

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.

Mini-Serial Port

Included with the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II is a serial port adapter for configuration.
A standard AC mini-jack on the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II provides a local, RS-232, Craft
interface for management. A special mini-jack to DF-9F cable is provided for direct
connection to a PC serial port.
To log on through the serial port, set the computer/terminal for VT-100 emulation,
with: 38.4K baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control.

Assigning IP Information

To utilize SNMP-management in a standalone environment, the
IE-MiniFiberLinX-II IP configuration information (e.g., IP address, subnet mask, etc.)
must be assigned by using iConfig (from iView²), by using the unit's serial port or by
using DHCP.
These methods will also allow you to create community strings, assign access rights,
configure traps and more. iConfig offers more options than serial port configuration.
After assigning the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II an IP address, use iView² or another SNMP-
compatible Network Management System (NMS) for remote configuration,
monitoring and management.
Access to the Remote site's IE-MiniFiberLinX-II for performance upgrades and
management through iConfig, Telnet, etc., can be gained through the IP Address
assigned to the Host unit or, when used in a standalone application, through its
own, unique IP address.
