Overview
This device is an intelligent Layer 2 switch designed for delivering
Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) high-speed Internet access. It supports up to
24 subscribers via 100 Mbps single-fiber downlink connections to the
customer’s premises equipment (CPE). The switch also provides two
Gigabit Ethernet combination ports
*
(10/100/1000BASE-TX port shared
with an SFP slot) for connections to other switches or routers at the CO.
The SFP ports allow the switch to be located up to 70 km from the CO
using 1000BASE-ZX transceivers, giving you the option of placing the
switch either in the CO or anywhere along the path between the CO and
the subscriber. The switch also includes two slots for optional Gigabit
Ethernet combination modules (with one 10/100/1000BASE-TX/SFP
port) which can provide additional uplink capacity.
The switch has one 10/100BASE-TX port for dedicated management
access (which can be operated outside the data channel). It has an
SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board, which
supports both in-band and out-of-band access using a Web browser,
SNMP/RMON, or Telnet.
* If an SFP transceiver is plugged in, the corresponding RJ-45 port is disabled for ports
27-28 built into the front panel, or ports 25-26 on the optional media expansion
modules.
