IMC Networks iMcV-FiberLinX, TX/SSFX-SM1310/PLUS-SC 856-14545 User Manual

•  IEEE 802.1Q VLAN compatible.
•  Valid VLAN IDs are 1 to 4,094.
•  Port-based VLAN tagging.
•  Transparency Mode passes all data and respects the 

VLAN tag or lack thereof, i.e. allows a mixture of 
VLAN Tagged and Untagged traffic.

Service providers routinely use IEEE 802.1Q Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) tagging to secure, separate and differentiate 
customer traffic.  FiberLinX enables service providers to support multiple VLAN-based applications.

A single FiberLinX can be used as a single-solution 
(CPE) application. Install the sole FiberLinX at the 
customer’s network edge and configure the device 
as a standalone.  Connect the FiberLinX to a media 
converter at the central office or directly to a fiber 
switch.  Manage the FiberLinX from the central office. 

Management Port and VLAN Functionality— Having a 

separate management port as well as VLAN compliance 
keeps customer data and SNMP traffic separated.

• Troubleshooting Features— FiberAlert and LinkLoss 

along with LEDs assist in diagnosing potential problems 
on fiber optic networks.

• Loopback Testing functionality loops back all frames 

arriving on the fiber port (except for the device’s 
management traffic).  When in Loopback mode, 
FiberLinX drops the link on the twisted pair port.

From a central location, network operators are able to receive real-time device and traffic statistics on the remote CPE or 
other devices connected to the remote management port, allocate bandwidth, turn services on or off, initiate loopback 
testing, change customer VLAN settings and adjust QoS policies assigned to different traffic types.

• Configure to support VLAN trunking; FiberLinX can 

filter up to 10 VLAN IDs for data, plus an additional 
ID for SNMP (Transparency Mode disabled).

• IEEE 802.1p provides a 2-tier queue for differential 

prioritization of inbound and outbound traffic.  For 
example, VoIP applications can be assigned a higher 
priority than data traffic.

• Bandwidth Control— Fine granularity allows custom 

levels of service; easily change bandwidth allocation, 
remotely, in seconds via SNMP.

• Supports the Unified Management Agent (UMA)— 

FiberLinX has always supported Host/Remote 
environments, i.e. managing the Remote from the Host 
location. With UMA, the central location can manage 
all devices installed in an iMediaChassis with the single 
IP address of the chassis.
