About the AccessEtherLinX/4
The AccessEtherLinX/4 Series enables service providers to offer differentiated data
networking or VPN services to multi-tenant building and business customers.
Residing at the customer premises or at the service provider POP, AccessEtherLinX/4
provides a VLAN-based Layer 2 entry point to the MAN fiber network, trunking,
differentiating and separating customer traffic. Featuring SNMP management,
bandwidth control, QoS, traffic prioritization and multicast pruning (using IGMP v1,
v2), it is an ideal solution for delivering Ethernet-based services to customers quickly
and cost-effectively.
AccessEtherLinX/4 offers configuration access via Telnet, serial console and SNMP
software. Software upgrades can be initiated via any one of these access methods
using a TFTP server. Additionally IMC’s iConfig/ iView² can be used for software
upgrades as a single source solution.
The AccessEtherLinX/4 includes one Uplink port (either 100Base-FX fiber or 10/100
twisted pair), four 10/100 twisted pair Ethernet downlink ports (for connecting
users/LANs) and an internal 100 - 240 ±10% AC power supply.
Single-strand fiber versions of the AccessEtherLinX/4 are also available.
Installing the AccessEtherLinX/4
The AccessEtherLinX/4 comes ready to install; there is no hardware configuration
required. All features, such as FiberAlert and Auto Negotiation, are software
configurable.
Place the AccessEtherLinX/4 on a flat surface, prior to installation. Attach the cables
