Prisma FiberLinX Gigabit Module Installation Instructions 

4008630 Rev B 

Prisma FiberLinX Gigabit module includes one 1000 Mbps fiber port (FX), one 
10/100/1000 twisted-pair data port (TX Data) and an additional, optional-use 
10/100/1000 twisted-pair port (TX EXT MGMT) for isolating management traffic.  
Twisted-pair ports auto-negotiate or you can manually set for 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps, 
and Half- or Full-Duplex. The fiber port operates at 1000 Mbps Full-Duplex.    

The Prisma FiberLinX Gigabit module is 802.1Q VLAN compatible, supports a full-
range of VLAN IDs, and offers a 2-tier queue for differential prioritization.  The 
Prisma FiberLinX Gigabit module includes LinkLoss and FiberAlert for 
troubleshooting, loopback testing functionality, bi-directional bandwidth control, 
and protection against Broadcast storms.  Easily configure the SNMP-manageable, 
Prisma FiberLinX Gigabit module with the GUI-based PrismaView

™

 software 

application and iConfig utility.  Single-strand fiber versions of the Prisma FiberLinX 
Gigabit module allow two wavelengths to share one fiber strand — Full-Duplex data 
travels on different wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm) — doubling the capacity of 
installed fiber.
