| The Fast Ethernet Managed Media Converters are designed to answer a specific need from Telcos for reliable LAN interconnection applications. The Managed
Media Converters do not limit the transmitted frame size (for example,
they can deliver CISCO ISL protocols). On the LAN side, the media converters
have one copper 100BaseTX interface. On the extension side, the BFC-2000
series has one fiber optic interface and optional fiber optic interface
which will serve as a backup redundant link for mission-critical applications.
The
converters include an SNMP agent and are out-of-band managed via SLIP interfaces.
Managed Media Converters also have an optional internal switch to transfer
between an AC or a -48VDC power supply. The AC power supply is available
with redundancy. The Managed Media Converter can convert Fast Ethernet
multi-mode to single-mode. |
