About the Prisma Mini FiberLinX-II

The Prisma Mini FiberLinX-II is an optical demarcation network interface device that

lets you connect to and manage remote network segments. Advanced networking

capabilities enable you to view the end points of a network segment and the fiber

link between them as a single management entity, rather than as a separate network.

No host management traffic is visible to the remote or customer network, and no

access to the customer network is required, guaranteeing end-to-end data integrity.

The Mini FiberLinX-II includes one 100 Mbps fiber port (OPTICS), one 10/100

twisted pair data port (DATA), and one auxiliary Craft port for serial configuration

(with the included adapter). The twisted-pair port can auto-negotiate or be set

manually for 10 or 100 Mbps and for half or full duplex mode. The optics port

operates at 100 Mbps, full duplex only. Powering options include AC and DC power

as well as power over Ethernet, functioning as a powered device (PD) compliant

with IEEE 802.3af.

The Mini FiberLinX-II is IEEE 802.1Q VLAN compatible, supporting a full-range of

VLAN IDs, and offering Q-in-Q tagging and a 2-tier queue for differential

prioritization (IEEE 802.1p). The Mini FiberLinX-II also includes the LinkLoss and

FiberAlert as well as LinkFault Pass Through (LFPT) features for troubleshooting,

loopback testing functionality, bi-directional bandwidth control, and optional

protection against Broadcast storms.

Single-strand fiber versions of the Mini FiberLinX-II allow two wavelengths to share

one fiber strand. Full-duplex data travels on two different wavelengths, 1310 nm and

1550 nm, thereby doubling the capacity of fiber.

PrismaView™, a graphical element management system that runs on SNMP, is

offered for use with this module.
