CAUTION: This equipment is designed to permit the connection of the grounded
conductor of the DC supply circuit to the grounding conductor at the equipment.
If this connection is made, all of the following conditions must be met:
•
This equipment shall be connected directly to the DC supply system grounding
electrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from a grounding terminal bar or
bus to which the DC supply system grounding electrode conductor is connected.
•
This equipment shall be located in the same immediate area (such as, adjacent
cabinets) as any other equipment that has a connection between the grounded
conductor of the same DC supply circuit and the grounding conductor, and also
the point of grounding of the DC system. The DC system shall not be grounded
elsewhere.
•
The DC supply source is to be located within the same premises as the
equipment.
•
Switching or disconnecting devices shall not be in the grounded circuit
conductor between the DC source and the point of connection of the grounding
electrode conductor.
•
When powering the unit via the Power-Over-Ethernet option (i.e. using DC
power provided over an Ethernet cable connected to the Ethernet port), do not
connect any other power source (cables) to the unit even if the power is in the
off state. This is to maintain isolation as called out in the 802.3af and 802.3at
specifications.
Features and Configuration
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II offers a full feature set including Auto Negotiation, Selective
Advertising, FiberAlert, AutoCross, read/write VLANs, SNMP management, bandwidth
control, and loopback testing. Features can be configured through software or via a
serial port, Telnet session, iConfig or SNMP.
Unit software updates can be downloaded through TFTP and iConfig.
Auto Negotiation, Duplex Mode and Speed
The twisted pair port on the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II Auto Negotiates for speed and
duplex mode. The optics port does not Auto Negotiate; it operates at 100 Mbps Full-
Duplex. Use the management software to configure the features on the twisted pair
ports.
