DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE

Network Management Options

This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance” monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its embedded management software, or via SNMP applications. To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port (out-of-band), or you can manage the switches through a network connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board web agent, or SNMP-based network management software.

The management port (RJ-45) provides a dedicated management channel that operates outside of the data transport network. This makes it possible to re-configure or troubleshoot the switch over either a local or remote connection to the management port when access via the data channel is not possible or deemed insecure.

For a detailed description of the switch’s advanced features, refer to the SMC7824M/FSW Management Guide.

Description of Hardware

100BASE-BX SC Fiber Ports

The switch provides 24 100BASE-BX single-fiber ports with SC connectors. Each fiber port supports a full-duplex link to a subscriber’s CPE. The switch’s fiber transceivers use Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology to achieve bi-directional operation (1550 nm transmit, 1310 nm receive) over a single optical fiber. The WDM single-mode fiber links can run up to 10 km.

The 100 Mbps bandwidth of the fiber links can be restricted by rate-limiting, which is configurable via a management connection. Each port also supports auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.
