Service providers who provide customers with Transparent LAN services 
must be able to remotely manage their customer premises equipment while 
keeping management and customer data traffic completely separated. 
 
Designed to meet the needs of service providers and administrators of 
enterprise campus networks, Giga-FiberLinX-II provisions point-to-point fiber 
optic connections and provides a unique management tool to monitor the 
entire link between two locations.  
Field-proven worldwide since 1999, the Giga-FiberLinX-II system 
is ideal for Optical Ethernet, FTTx and campus area network 
applications.
The Giga-FiberLinX-II solution connects two remote networks over fiber optics 
and allows administrators to observe both the end-points, and the fiber link 
between them, as single management entities and not as separate elements.  
Host management traffic is not visible to the remote or customer network 
nor is access to the customer network required, guaranteeing end-to-end 
data integrity.  Giga-FiberLinX-II allows for remote configuration and alerts 
administrators to any potential problems on the long-haul fiber run, 
provides vital information on link condition and reports data traffic statistics.  
In addition, it reduces the total cost of network equipment by functioning as 
a copper-to-fiber media converter, allowing deployment of lower cost copper 
switches at both ends of the fiber connection.  
Offering unparalleled flexibility, Giga-FiberLinX-II supports multiple fiber types 
including multi-mode and single-mode as well as  single-strand fiber which 
can effectively double the capacity of installed fiber.  
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II features:
 One 1000 Mbps fiber data port
 One 10/100/1000 twisted pair data port
 One additional 10/100/1000 twisted pair port (TX EXT) for management
 One serial port with DB-9 connector
Twisted pair ports auto-negotiate speed and duplex or can be set manually.  
Ports also feature Flow Control in FDX and Back Pressure Flow Control.
Two models are also available with SFP ports, allowing users to easily accommo-
date changing fiber requirements; simply install a new SFP module rather than 
replacing an entire Giga-FiberLinX-II unit.
