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.
Single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two different wavelength. Single-strand fiber products must be deployed in pairs, connecting two compatible singlestrand fiber products. Connect the 852-10133 (1310 xmt and 1550 rcv), for example, to a product with 1550 xmt and 1310 rcv, e.g. 852-10134 (1550 xmt and 1310 rcv.) The two connected products must also have the same speed and distance capabilities (i.e. both are single-mode [20km] or both are single/PLUS [40km]).
mode. If the device has a fiber Uplink port, it does not Auto Negotiate; it always operates at 100 Mbps Full-Duplex. Auto Negotiation The AccessEtherLinX/4 ships with Auto Negotiation enabled on the twisted pair ports. In this mode, the twisted pair port negotiates for speed and duplex mode. Forcing the Speed and Duplex Mode The twisted pair downlink ports on the AccessEtherLinX/4 can also be manually set for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps operation and for Half- or Full-Duplex (i.e.
• • Setting the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway Defining the community strings and SNMP traps. In addition to the above functions, iConfig offers an authorized IP address system and access restriction to MIB groups supported by manageable devices. These extra layers of security are purely optional and do not affect SNMP compatibility in any way. iConfig can be used to upload new versions of the system software and new MIB information.
SNMP Management SNMP management and iConfig are available through the AccessEtherLinX/4 Uplink port. This provides a higher level of security so end-users cannot access management, alter settings, etc. In order for the AccessEtherLinX/4 to allow for SNMP-management, the unit must be assigned IP configuration information (e.g., IP address, subnet mask, etc.

accept) and press Enter. This function enables ALL of the device’s traps. To selectively activate and de-activate traps, use iConfig for configuration. Supported traps are Enterprise specific and include: Link Down, Link Up, Cold Start, Warm Start and Authentication Failure. Removing Trap Destinations To remove all trap destinations, press K. When asked to confirm, press Y to continue or N to abort. Then, press Enter.
received, the SNMP Management Module will reboot so that the new IP address will take effect. Refer to the Main Configuration About Serial Port Configuration for more information about Enabling/Disabling DHCP. When there is no DHCP server on the network, use iConfig or serial configuration to manually set the IP addresses. When DHCP is enabled, the IP address (default 10.10.10.10 or user configured) is saved. When DHCP is disabled, the saved IP address will be reinstated and the device will reboot.
Using iView² iView² is a network management application for IMC Networks’ intelligent networking devices. It features a Graphic User Interface (GUI) and gives network managers the ability to monitor and control products from a variety of platforms. Using iView² with HP OpenView During the installation, the iView² application will ask if HP OpenView is installed on the management PC. Click Yes to integrate the appropriate files. Within Open View, select the IMC Networks on the Navigation toolbar.
Update Manager iView² offers the option of scheduling an update search for IMC Networks’ devices listed in the Network outline. Within iView², select Tools/SNMP Options from the navigation toolbar. Select Update Manager Options, and a dialog box will be displayed, in which you can select when to run the update search. This option enables the end user to determine if they have the latest firmware, and download the latest if they do not.
easily upload and store new firmware versions for upgrading multiple devices with on-board logic installed in, or connected to, an iMediaChassis series. Using Telnet Assign the AccessEtherLinX/4 an IP Address or use the default IP Address 10.10.10.10, subnet mask 255.0.0.0 before using a Telnet session. All configurations done via the serial port can also be performed using Telnet. Use only one Telnet session at a time. Do not use an RS-232 serial session and a Telnet session at the same time.

Press any key Type reboot, and then press Enter to restart the system. When the system is done rebooting it should work like a media converter with a 4-port switch attached. LED Operation Uplink and Downlink Ports LNK/ACT Glows green when link is established on port. Blinks green during data activity on port. FDX/COL Glows amber when port is operating in Full-Duplex. Blinks amber when collisions occur on port.
Passwords Passwords are a way to make the management of network devices secure. If the Serial password is lost, download the latest version of the binary file and load it through the iConfig utility. Any serial password entered will be removed, and there will be no password for the console session. If the username/password are lost in iConfig, launch a Hyper Terminal session. Upon completion of the boot sequence, press the Space Bar once and then type in the command cleandb.
When using iView² with HP OpenView During the installation, the iView² application will ask if HP Open View is installed on the management PC. Click Yes to integrate the appropriate files. Once in OpenView, select IMC Networks from the toolbar to view the IMC Networks’ devices. When Not Using iView² When using an application other than iView² for management, integrate the SNMP vendor files (a.k.a. MIBs) into the application.

Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles of dirt or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation. Good system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules. 1. Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only from a reputable supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose problems in an installation. 2.
