Omnitron iConverter 10/100M2 – Fiber media converter – 100Mb LAN – 10Base-T, 100Base-FX, 100Base-TX – RJ-45 / ST single-mode – up to 18.6 miles – 1310 nm

Performance monitoring. 802.3ah Performance Monitoring tools are used for the detection and notification of link performance (quality) faults. Ethernet data performance can deteriorate slowly before disrupting service, and the 10/100M2 allows the setting of error-per-second thresholds. Once the pre-set error threshold is exceeded, an event notification is generated that provides early indication of a problem that may be resolved prior to loss of service.

• Fault detection. The 10/100M2 detects and indicates link faults, dying gasp and other critical events. The 10/100M2 also supports Unidirectional Link Fault Detection that indicates faults in either direction of the fiber link.
• 802.3ah and secure OAM management channels. When utilizing a Remote OAM management channel (Secure IP-less or 802.3ah), the NID at the Customer Premises is securely managed by its fiber link partner located at the Central Office or Point of Presence. The management network IP address is not available to the customer network and is isolated by the iConverter Network Management Module (NMM) in the 19-module chassis at the central office.
• Tag VLAN, Port VLAN and QoS. The iConverter 10/100M2 supports the IEEE 802.1Q tag Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) packet tagging and untagging (including Q-in-Q tunneling and 802.1ad service provider tag) and the 802.1p Quality of Service priority standards.
• IP-based management. The 10/100M2 can be managed through IP protocols, SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMPv3 and Telnet. The IP address of the 10/100M2 can be user-defined or resolved through the DHCP host on the network. The IP protocols for management access can be enabled or disabled individually or as a group. Access to the management is protected by password authentication. SMNPv3 strengthens secure access to devices by a combination of authenticating and encrypting packets over the network. Management VLAN can also be defined to separate management traffic from customer traffic.
• Port statistics and optical performance statistics. The 10/100M2 supports reporting of utilization, port and optical performance statistics. Port statistics are available for 38 different variables for the UTP and fiber ports. Additionally, full optical performance statistics are available on SFP fiber transceivers with a digital diagnostic bus.
• Link modes. The 10/100M2 features multiple, user-selectable link fault detection modes, including Link propagation, remote fault detection and asymmetrical fault detection. These Link Modes provide rapid fault detection and isolation by monitoring the state of the cabling hardware, and operate independently of the network management.
• IEEE 802.3ah operations, administration and maintenance. The 10/100M2 supports the IEEE 802.3ah OAM standard, including Fault Detection, Performance Monitoring and Remote loop back.
• Remote loop back. Remote loop back is used for fault localization and link performance testing. When a 10/100M2 ports is in loop back mode, all received link traffic is looped back and transmitted back unaltered. The statistics from the 10/100M2 port and the remote link partner can be compared for consistency.
• Port bandwidth control and port access control. The enhanced Bandwidth Control feature supports levels of bandwidth between the fiber and UTP ports in 64Kbps increments from 64K to Full Line Speed.
