Ä EIR

 

The EIR value specifies the indicated data rate that may be available for this

 

PVC. This value must be set to the same as the value provided by the

 

Frame Relay network provider. When EIR = 0, no excess burst data is

 

allowed to be transmitted. If EIR is non-zero, bursting is allowed. The only

 

restriction is that CIR + EIR > 0.

Configuration:

When changing the EIR option for this PVC, the PVC must be disabled and

Note

then enabled before the new value will take effect.

The Bridge, IP, IPX, and Compression settings may now be configured within the Bridge, Parameters, IP Parameters, IPX Parameters, and CCP Parameters menus (note: compression over frame relay is only available if PPP encapsulation is enabled).

If either the Bridge portion or the IP or IPX router portion of the connection is not required, the appropriate Connection Protocol setting must be disabled within the appropriate sub-menu. For example; if an IPX only connection is to be established, the Bridging and IP parameters must be disabled so that the router does not negotiate the Bridge or IP Connection Protocols on the connection.

Disabling a particular connection protocol option will prevent the

 

router from negotiating that Network Connection Protocol. Leaving all

 

options enabled will result in a Bridge, IP router, and IPX router

 

connection.

Black Box LR5100A-T, LR5200A-R2 manual Eir

LR5200A-R2, LR5100A-T specifications

The Black Box LR5100A-T and LR5200A-R2 are advanced network media converters designed to facilitate seamless data transmission across various media types. These devices are particularly valuable for organizations seeking high-performance solutions for extending network communications beyond traditional limits.

The LR5100A-T is an Ethernet media converter that operates over twisted pair cabling, efficiently converting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet signals into fiber optic signals. This capability allows businesses to harness the long-distance advantages of fiber optics while maintaining compatibility with existing Ethernet infrastructure. With a broad range of supported distances, users can effectively communicate over distances up to 100 kilometers, depending on the type of fiber optic cable used and the transmission rate.

In contrast, the LR5200A-R2 emphasizes compatibility with a wider range of fiber types and supports both multimode and single-mode fiber connections. It also provides auto-negotiation capabilities, which enable it to automatically detect and configure to the optimal speed of connected devices, streamlining setup and enhancing user experience.

One of the key features of both the LR5100A-T and LR5200A-R2 is their rugged design, making them suitable for deployment in harsh environments. They are engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and are resistant to vibration, ensuring reliability in challenging settings. Additionally, both models adhere to industry standards, ensuring interoperability with a diverse array of networking equipment.

Notably, these converters come equipped with LED indicators that allow for real-time monitoring of device status, simplifying network management and troubleshooting. This feature ensures that technicians are promptly alerted to any connectivity issues, significantly reducing downtime.

Powering options for both models include standard AC power supplies or Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing for flexible deployment scenarios without the need for additional power outlets. This flexibility can be a crucial factor in environments where power availability may be limited.

With their blend of performance, durability, and advanced features, the Black Box LR5100A-T and LR5200A-R2 media converters represent a solid choice for organizations looking to future-proof their network infrastructure while ensuring high levels of connectivity and reliability. Whether extending existing networks or implementing new solutions, these devices provide the necessary tools for effective communication in today’s digital world.
