Fiber Port Options
The 2FXM2 Small Form Pluggable (SFP) model supports a wide
variety of SFP transceivers for FTTX and CWDM applications.
SFP fiber transceivers are available with multimode (MM) dual
fiber, single-mode (SM) dual fiber and single-mode single-fiber
(SF) options. They support LC connectors with distances up
to 5km over MM fiber, 120km over SM fiber and 50km over
SF. SFP transceivers are available in 20nm increments from
1270nm to 1610nm.
Link Modes
Link Modes
The 2FXM2 features multiple, user-selectable link fault
detection modes, including Link Fault Propagation, Remote
Fault Detection and Asymmetrical Fault Detection. These Link
Modes provide rapid fault detection and isolation by monitoring
the state of the cabling hardware, and operate independently
of the network management.
Tag VLAN, Port VLAN and QoS
Tag VLAN, Port VLAN and QoS
The iConverter 2FXM2 supports the IEEE 802.1Q Virtual Local
Area Network (VLAN) packet tagging and untagging (including
Q-in-Q) and the 802.1p Quality of Service priority standards.
2FXM2 VLAN 802.1ad tunneling technology enables service
2FXM2 VLAN 802.1ad tunneling technology enables service
providers to offer their customers E-Line and E-LAN services
(via Ethernet Virtual Circuit or EVC), which connect multiple
business LANs at different locations and make their networks
appear to be on the same local network. Q-in-Q Service tags
transparently transport customer network traffic across the
service provider network, isolating it from other customer and
service provider management traffic.
2FXM2 Port VLAN enables the ability to specify and restrict traffic
2FXM2 Port VLAN enables the ability to specify and restrict traffic
flow between the fiber, backplane and management ports.
The 802.1p prioritization standard enables delivery of Quality
The 802.1p prioritization standard enables delivery of Quality
of Service (QoS) to high-priority, real-time applications such
as voice and video over Ethernet.
Port Bandwidth Control and Port Access Control
Port Bandwidth Control and Port Access Control
The enhanced Bandwidth Control feature supports levels of
bandwidth between the fiber ports in 64Kbps increments from
64K to Full Line Speed.
The 2FXM2 features Port Access Control which blocks user
The 2FXM2 features Port Access Control which blocks user
service while maintaining the network link. Port Access Control
enables the service provider to control user access while
maintaining port configuration for easy disabling or enabling
of customer service. Port Access Control provides enterprise
administrators the capability to improve network security by
controlling port access when the port is not in use.
Port Statistics and Optical Performance Statistics
Port Statistics and Optical Performance Statistics
The 2FXM2 supports reporting of utilization, port and optical
performance statistics. Port statistics are available for 38
different variables for the fiber ports. Additionally, full optical
performance statistics are available on SFP fiber transceivers
with a digital diagnostic bus.
Port and optical performance statistics reporting provides
Port and optical performance statistics reporting provides
the ability to monitor customer bandwidth utilization, network
performance and the link signal quality for each individual
port.
IEEE 802.3ah Operations, Administration and Maintenance
The 2FXM2 supports the IEEE 802.3ah OAM standard, in-
cluding Fault Detection, Performance Monitoring, Unidirec-
tional Fault Detection and Remote Loopback.
Fault Detection
Fault Detection
The 2FXM2 detects and indicates link failures, dying gasp and
other critical events. The 2FXM2 also supports Unidirectional
Link Fault Detection that indicates faults in either direction of
the fiber link.
Performance Monitoring
Performance Monitoring
802.3ah Performance Monitoring tools are used for the detec-
tion and notification of link performance (quality) faults. Ether-
net data performance can deteriorate slowly before disrupting
service, and the 2FXM2 allows the setting of error-per-second
thresholds. Once the pre-set error threshold is exceeded, an
event notification is generated that provides early indication of
a problem that may be resolved prior to loss of service.
Remote Loopback
Remote Loopback
Remote Loopback is used for fault localization and link perfor-
mance testing. When a 2FXM2 port is in loopback mode, all
received service traffic is looped back and transmitted back
unaltered. The statistics from the 2FXM2 port and the remote
link partner can be compared for consistency.

At the Central Office, an iConverter 2FXM2 plug-in module is
installed in a managed iConverter 19-Module chassis providing
high-density fiber access. At Customer Premises 1, the 2FXM2
plug-in module is installed in a 2-Module chassis with an
iConverter 4TxVT four-port switch module. The two modules
share data via the Ethernet Backplane. This configuration
functions as a remotely managed demarcation switch with a
fiber uplink port to the Central Office and four copper ports
that drop off Ethernet service. At Customer Premises 2, the
2FXM2 standalone NID provides a fiber uplink for intelligent
demarcation of Ethernet services.
