FibroLAN MetroStar ACM-110-1X
Aggregating Converter Modules
This
module takes 2 or 4 100Base-FX inputs from remote users and aggregates them into
a single RJ-45 port which in turn connects to a switch. Designed to optimize
FTTH access nodes, it therefore reduces the total number of aggregation switch
ports (by a factor of 2 to 4) saving on costs, space and power consumption. As
even the highest density stackable switches available today seldom exceed 200
ports, using a MetroStar loaded with ACM modules becomes then the only feasible
way to accommodate all user fibers accessing such node. Although its TP port is
auto-negotiating, other modes can be forced (via management) to successfully
interconnect with any type of device. The module?s capability to handle
extremely large frames (up to 1916 bytes) eliminates possible interoperability
problems with other vendors? switches. Due to its most flexible software and
firmware based design two additional network architectures can be implemented
with this module: Redundant fiber link and fiber-to-fiber network extension.
Like other MetroStar modules, the ACM is fully SNMP managed. The embedded MA
chip allows full management of remote (MA enabled) devices eliminating the need
of costly SNMP processors and IP addresses in such devices. All MetroStar
modules are hot swappable and equipped with two self-clinching screws for easy
and safe module insertion and removal. A special LED indicates that the module
is well inserted in its slot and ?alive? even before links are connected.
