About the IE Managed Miniature Media Converter
The IE Managed Miniature Media Converter is an optical demarcation network
interface device, allowing fiber network operators to connect to and manage remote
network segments. Advanced networking capabilities allow operators to easily observe
both end points and the fiber link between them as a single management entity,
rather than as separate networks. No host management traffic is visible to the remote
or customer network nor is access to the customer network required, guaranteeing
end-to-end data integrity.
The IE Managed Miniature Media Converter includes one 100 Mbps fiber port, one
10/100 twisted pair data port, and one auxiliary port for serial configuration (with the
included adapter). The twisted pair port can auto-negotiate or be set manually for 10
or 100 Mbps, and half or full-duplex. The optics port operates at 100 Mbps, full
duplex mode only. Powering options include AC and DC power as well as Power
over Ethernet, functioning as a Powered Device (PD) compliant with 802.3af.
The IE Managed Miniature Media Converter is 802.1Q VLAN compatible,
supporting a full-range of VLAN IDs, and offering Q-in-Q tagging and a 2-tier queue
for differential prioritization (802.1p). The IE Managed Miniature Media Converter
also includes the LinkLoss and FiberAlert features for troubleshooting, loopback
testing functionality, bi-directional bandwidth control, and optional protection
against Broadcast storms. Black Box offers a graphical user interface (GUI) based
element management system called iView², which runs on SNMP.
