Powering Options
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II powering options include AC and DC power as well as Power
over Ethernet, functioning as a PD compliant with 802.3af. The DC Terminal block
allows you to daisy-chain one IE-MiniFiberLinX-II to another. To use the DC terminal
block, connect to any one positive and any one negative terminal from a power
source. The illustration shows the wiring configurations for the DC terminal block (7
to 50 VDC).
Features and Configuration
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II offers a full feature set including Auto Negotiation, Selective
Advertising, FiberAlert, AutoCross, read/write VLANs, SNMP management, bandwidth
control, and loopback testing. Features can be configured through software or via a
serial port, Telnet session, iConfig or SNMP.
Unit software updates can be downloaded through TFTP and iConfig.
Auto Negotiation, Duplex Mode and Speed
The twisted pair port on the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II Auto Negotiates for speed and
duplex mode. The optics port does not Auto Negotiate; it operates at 100 Mbps Full-
Duplex. Use the management software to configure the features on the twisted pair
ports.
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II ships from the factory with Auto Negotiation enabled on the
twisted pair port. In this mode, the port automatically negotiates for speed and
duplex.
