Description, continued
Offering outstanding flexibility, Prisma FiberLinX modules include one 1000 Mbps fiber port, one 10/100/1000
twisted pair data port, and an additional 10/100/1000 twisted pair port for management. Twisted pair ports auto-
negotiate or can be manually set for 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps, and half- or full-duplex. The Prisma FiberLinX module
VLAN functionality is extremely versatile, allowing installation in virtually any environment. Prisma FiberLinX
modules support a full-range of VLAN IDs, and offer a 2-tier queue for differential prioritization. Available as a
module for installation in any Prisma MediaCenter

SNMP
management application software. The PrismaView application provides operational and system health
information, and the ability to control various functions of Prisma FiberLinX modules. SNMP traps alert
administrators to potential network failures, reduce administrative overhead, and increase network integrity and
uptime. Information reported from Prisma FiberLinX modules via SNMP services includes LAN packets received
and transmitted, errors, and port status (see Prisma MIB Specifications). This allows network administrators to
keep networks running in peak condition. The PrismaView application is available in several versions and can also
function as a snap-in module for Hewlett-Packard OpenView Network Node Manager. Please contact us for
assistance in selecting the right version of the PrismaView application for your operating system.
Two models are also available with SFP ports, allowing users to easily accommodate changing fiber requirements;
simply install a new SFP module rather than replacing an entire Gigabit FIberLinX module.

Application
When used in pairs, a Prisma FiberLinX module configured as a Host resides at the headend while another Prisma
FiberLinX module configured as a Remote, is installed at the remote customer location, typically on the network
edge where the customer network meets the service provider infrastructure. Via SNMP, the Prisma FiberLinX
solution monitors the entire link and provides data integrity while remaining isolated and completely transparent to
the customer LAN. A Prisma FiberLinX module can be configured as a Standalone for a single-solution (CPE)
application.
