ABOUT THE

TIGERACCESS SWITCH

Overview

This device is an intelligent Layer 2 switch designed for delivering Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) high-speed Internet access. It supports up to 24 subscribers via 100 Mbps single-fiber downlink connections to the customer’s premises equipment (CPE). The switch also provides two Gigabit Ethernet combination ports* (10/100/1000BASE-TX port shared with an SFP slot) for connections to other switches or routers at the CO. The SFP ports allow the switch to be located up to 70 km from the CO using 1000BASE-ZX transceivers, giving you the option of placing the switch either in the CO or anywhere along the path between the CO and the subscriber. The switch also includes two slots for optional Gigabit Ethernet combination modules (with one 10/100/1000BASE-TX/SFP port) which can provide additional uplink capacity.

The switch has one 10/100BASE-TX port for dedicated management access (which can be operated outside the data channel). It has an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board, which supports both in-band and out-of-band access using a Web browser, SNMP/RMON, or Telnet.

*If an SFP transceiver is plugged in, the corresponding RJ-45 port is disabled for ports 27-28 built into the front panel, or ports 25-26 on the optional media expansion modules.
