1 Introduction
Document Overview
This manual provides the user with an understanding of the Lantronix x6010 Network Interface Device
(NID).
Product Overview
The ION T1/E1 model x6010 is a copper-to-fiber NID with remote management that provides a solution
to extend T1 or E1 circuits over fiber, and remotely manage them in-band from admin locations.
The x6010 NIDs are designed as either a standalone module (S6010) or a slide-in module (C6010) that is
installed in an ION system chassis. In either configuration, these devices are designed to convert the
copper ports on T1/E1 devices, such as a PBX or T1/E1 router, to multimode or single mode fiber with
advanced services and functions.
The x6010 supports Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers to support a variety of fiber types, distances
and wavelengths to provide maximum flexibility across a variety of network topologies. The use of
Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) SFPs can be utilized to further increase the bandwidth
capacity of the fiber infrastructure. The T1/E1NID must be used in pairs. A typical installation includes a
chassis card (C6010) installed in a local ION chassis and a stand-alone device (S6010) installed at a
remote location.
Features
The x6010 provides the following services and functions.
•
Converts copper ports on T1/E1 devices, such as a PBX or T1/E1 router, to multimode or single
mode fiber
•
Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) LED
•
Can be used with fractional T1/E1 circuits
•
