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 between the AccessEtherLinX/4 and each device that will be interconnected and then plug the unit into a reliable, filtered power source.
