IE-MultiWay with optional DIN rail mount power supply
SFP Ports
The IE-MultiWay SFP ports support gigabit fiber SFPs, 100Mbps fiber SFPs, with or
without Digital Diagnostics Monitory Interface (DDMI) as well as copper SFPs ports
available in 10/100/1000Mbps. DDMI statistics provide real-time access to
transceiver operating parameters such as voltage, temperature, laser bias current, and
both transmitted and received optical power. This information can be accessed
through the management system. The SFPs must be MSA-compliant, and can be from
IMC Networks or other suppliers.
Configuration Instructions
The IE-MultiWay can be configured in one of the following ways:
Configuration
Method
Description
4-Port Switch
(default)
In this mode, the unit acts as a standard 4-port MAC-layer switch.
In this configuration, IEEE802.3ah Passive is enabled on both fiber
ports, and can be enabled on the RJ-45 ports through the CLI.
Dual
Converter
mode
In this configuration, the unit functions as two independent (SFP to
TX) media converters and traffic never passes between the two
converters.
1+1 SFP
Protection
Non-Revertive
mode
In this mode, the "SFP A" port (fiber or copper) is connected through
the switch to the drop ports as the main link. The "SFP B" port (fiber
or copper) is active into the MAC switch, but no connection inside
the switch is made; in this way, the "SFP B" line is held as the
standby line. The "SFP B" line is held in the LINK state for testing
and line verification, but does not actively carry user data.
