1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BCI’s 6820E/6821E Series is designed to meet the needs for massive
optical fiber network deployment and able to extend a legacy copper
based network via fiber cable to a maximum distance of up to 100KM.
The 6820E/6821E is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 & 802.3u standards;
built-in switching ASIC has turned 6820E/6821E function more like a 2
port switch rather than a traditional converter. The user can get all of the
switching benefits such as traffic segmentation, frames checking and
error filtering. In addition, Fiber Link Alarm allows the user to monitor
and maintain their critical fiber link more easily and effectively.
The installation and operation procedures of the 6820E/6821E are simple
and straightforward. Operation status can be monitored through a set
of diagnostic LED located in the front panel (as shown in Figure 1-1).
