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.

Single FiberLinX Solution
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.

• 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.

• 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.
