Information About the ILC205 Modules
Note: The installation and operation of the ILC205 module is similar regardless of the Artel chassis
model that hosts the module. This manual points out any differences where needed.
This manual introduces the ILC205 function module and includes information for installing and configuring
them. The ILC205 module aggregates local IP traffic and video-over-IP traffic from other Artel host chassis
function and management modules, requiring fewer wired or optical connections to external networks.
Additional features include the following:
• Nine-port, layer 2 Ethernet switch.
• Five external 1 gigabit Ethernet (1 GigE) ports as follows:
– Three 10/100/1000 Mb/s RJ45 connectors that support auto-MDIX and negotiation.
– Two small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports that can provide two bidirectional links between a
pair of ILC205 modules or to an optical Ethernet switch. These ports allow redundant optical inks,
an optical repeater function, or additional copper ports by using RJ45 SFPs.
• Four internal 1 GigE ports to the backplane.
• VLAN tagging and trunking capabilities.
You provision and monitor the ILC205 modules as follows:
• Provision and monitor the module remotely using InfinityLink Manager running on a chassis power
supply module). For more information, see the InfinityLink Manager Setup and Operations Manual .
• Monitor the module locally using the front and rear panel status LEDs.
