The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX to 10BASE-FL/100BASE-FX
Modules offer both media conversion and SNMP manage-
ment. They’re great for campus applications where you need
to bridge twisted-pair and fiber optic media in your High-
Density Media Converter System II Chassis platform.
Working point-to-point, the modules ensure end-to-end
data integrity with both points connected over highly reliable
and secure optical cable. They enable you to provide your
users with transparent LAN connectivity while keeping them
completely separate from management data traffic sent to a
remote LAN.
In a typical application, you’d use them in pairs, with one
module configured as a host and installed at head-end of your
network and the other module configured as a remote unit
and situated at a remote location on a network’s edge.
Or you can use an individual 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX to
10BASE-FL/100BASE-FX Module as a single CPE solution,
situated as a standalone converter linked to a media converter
at the CO or directly to a fiber optic switch. In this setup,
you’d manage the module from the central office.
The media converters enable you to reduce equipment
costs. You can, for instance, deploy two low-cost copper
switches at the ends of the fiber run instead of extending
more costly fiber to individual network segments or users.
SNMP management agent included.
The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX to 10BASE-FL/100BASE-FX
Modules include an SNMP management agent that allows you
to monitor the status and activity on its copper and fiber ports
at the remote end.
With this, you can observe end points of a fiber-connected
network, as well as the fiber link between them, and control
each point as part of a single management entity — not as
separate elements within a network.
You can also remotely configure the devices and even set
up alerts to notify you of any problems occurring on a long-
haul fiber run.
To monitor the link as well as the local and remote units
themselves, just access the modules’ management tool. Vital
information on the link’s condition and data traffic statistics
are easy to retrieve through this interface. You can also
receive real-time port and link information, optimize band-
width, create a secure domain to isolate data, and more.
For initial setup of the unit, as well as modifications in the
field, you can use the included iView2 SNMP application or a
Telnet, TFTP, or local serial connection.
In addition to a 100BASE-FX fiber port and a 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX copper port, each module has a 10BASE/
100BASE-X copper port (labeled “TX EXT”) for management.
This port also functions as a serial port.
All copper ports match the speed and duplex of the
connected twisted-pair segments automatically. Plus, the
converters feature FDX flow control and back pressure flow
control. For troubleshooting the fiber link, the modules
feature LinkLoss and FiberAlert functions as well as loopbacks.
VLAN and data traffic prioritization capabilities.
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN compliant, the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX to
10BASE-FL/100BASE-FX Modules support VLAN trunking with
up to 10 VLAN IDs for data—plus an additional one for
SNMP—as well as port-based VLAN tagging. While operating
in transparency mode, they allow you to set up VLAN and
non-VLAN traffic on same port. You can mix VLAN tagged
and untagged traffic regardless of VLAN tag info.
And as 802.1p compliant devices, the modules provide you
with a two-tier queue for differential prioritization of both
inbound and outbound traffic, which makes them great for
VoIP and other applications in which you need to give certain
traffic higher priority. You can even set up QoS (Quality of
Service) policies for different types of traffic.
Copper-only module also available.
In addition to the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX to 10BASE-FL/
100BASE-FX Modules, we also offer a manageable 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX module that doesn’t
convert media interfaces, but does enable you to extend
SNMP management capabilities across copper links on either
the local or remote side of your application. It can also be
used to bridge 10- and 100-Mbps segments connected to a
High-Density Media Converter System II Chassis.
The copper-only model autonegotiates for speed and
duplex set, is 801.1Q and 802.1p compliant, supports
bidirectional bandwidth control, and keeps management
traffic separate from data traffic.
