OVERVIEW
Effectively manage the media converters in your network
without ever leaving your computer room. Extend your
managed network over fiber optic cable, over ordinary phone
wire via vDSL, or even over T1. The High-Density Media
Converter System II provides a full range of options, making
it an ideal solution for any managed enterprise network.
High-Density Media Converter System II is particularly
well suited for network-extension applications, offering a wide
range of hot-swappable media converter modules for network
extension over fiber. Additionally, the system offers a range of
modules such as T1/E1 and vDSL, that are not usually available
with chassis-based media converter systems.
Choose from a wide range of chassis options ranging from
a large rackmount chassis with modular SNMP management
for your IT center down to a tiny unmanaged desktop chassis
for remote desktop locations. Modules in unmanaged chassis
can also be managed, although the chassis themselves cannot.
With more than 100 modules to choose from, this system
can adapt to even the most demanding network config-
urations. Many media converter modules perform Layer 2
media conversion, which increases the efficiency of your
network compared with using a traditional Layer 1
media converter.
All media converter modules are hot-swappable — you
never need to power down a chassis in order to change a
module.
The High-Density Media Converter System II is easy to
integrate into any managed network. Not only does it support
industry-standard SNMP, but fiber modules include LinkLoss
™
and/or FiberAlert
™
to alert you if a fiber link is interrupted.
LEDs on each module show link status at a glance.
SNMP helps you diagnose network problems by monitor-
ing both copper and fiber link status as well as the chassis’
temperature and voltage levels. SNMP traps can alert you
to potential network failures so you incur less downtime
and spend less time troubleshooting. You can assign a name
to each of the various ports and if a link failure occurs, you’ll
be notified with the port’s name.
Plus, we’ve expanded the High-Density Media Converter
System II family to include manageable media converter cards
for connecting copper segments to a fiber backbone. Just plug
one of these into one of our compact desktop chassis and get
a higher level of control across the link.
