Description
When a fault is detected on the active line, all customer traffic is
switched to the “SFP B” port. With non-Revertive mode data is not
resumed by “SFP A” port.

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.
When a fault is detected on the active line, all customer traffic is
switched to the “SFP B” port. Once the “A” port is no longer in a
fault condition, data is resumed on that port.
Management Features
Some configuration of the IE-MultiWay is accomplished using the DIP Switches, and
the rest through a console session in the CLI. When all DIP Switches are set to OFF
(default setting), the IE-MultiWay acts as a normal 4-port MAC-layer switch with
VLAN transparency; firmware upgrades can be performed through iConfig.
The IE-MultiWay includes an RS-232 Mini Jack for the Console port to allow the end
user to launch a serial session and access a list of commands. The serial port on the
computer/terminal should be set for: 38.4K baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no
flow control. The F2 key functions as a Delete key on VT-100 emulators.
NOTE
The GUI displays the product for reference; configuration is performed through iConfig and
the CLI.
