TheiConverter 4TxVT10/100 managedEthernetswitchmodule
is a member of the iConverter product family. It provides a
compact 4-Port 10/100 Ethernet switch that is expandable
across the iConverter 19-Module, 5-Module and 2-Module
chassis backplanes, as well as being supported as a
stand-alone switch with the iConverter 1-Module Chassis.
TheiConverter 4Tx VT supports the IEEE 802.1Q and 802.1p
standards. It supports the 802.1Q VLAN packet tagging and
untagging for segregating data in Enterprise networks, and
enabling secure separation of Service Provider network
management and customer data to improve security and
intrusionprotection.
The 802.1Q Q-in-Q stacked tags enable Service Providers to
offer to their customers secure Ethernet Virtual Private Line
services which isolates each customer’s data traffic, as well
astheService Provider’smanagement traffic.
The4Tx VTsupports the802.1p prioritizationforthedeliveryof
Qualityof Service(QoS) toreal-time applicationssuch asvoice
orvideo overEthernet.
The iConverter 4Tx VT features Bandwidth and Port Access
Controls. On a per port basis, the upstream and downstream
traffic can be independently controlled by selecting from eight
levels of bandwidth setting. The PortAccess Control enables
thenetworkadministrator to easilycontrol and denyindividual
port access while maintaining port configuration for easy port
re-enabling.
The ports feature 10/100Mbps, Half/Full-Duplex, and auto-
negotiationwithbothhardwareandsoftwarecontrols. Hardware
control is available for two ports while all four ports are under
software control for these features. RJ-45 crossover support
eliminatesneedforacrossovercable andfacilitatesconnectivity
to different types of network equipment. All four ports support
anautomaticcrossover detectionmode.
TwoEthernet backplaneports provideconnectivity toadjacent
modules for network expansion and for providing additional
10/100UTPports foriConverter modularNIDs.
The4TxVT supportsreportingof MIB statistics. Statisticsare
available for 32 variables per port, reporting a wide range of
real-time packet statistics to provide performance and
operationalmonitoring.

Managementis accomplishedbyusing aNetworkManagement
Module (NMM) or a media converter with integrated management
(such as an iConverter 10/100M2) that provides monitoring,
remote configuration and trap notification. The management
modulecan beaccessed viaSNMP,Telnet andvia aserial port.
TheSNMP-basedmanagementisaccomplished viaOmnitron’s
intuitive,graphic-orientedNetOutlook management softwareor
third party SNMP management software. Management via
the Telnet and the serial interfaces have an easy-to-use,
menu-driveninterface.
Someof thereal-time4TxVTparameters thatcanbemonitored
include link and data receive status. Other parameters include
moduletype andmodel,hardware andsoftwarerevisions,serial
numbersand auser-definedidentifier.
The user can override the 4Tx VT module’s physical switch
settingsbyusing SNMPorTelnet toremotely configureswitch-
selectable parameters such as auto-negotiation, Half or
Full-Duplex,andBackplane Selection.
InadditiontoallstandardiConverter SNMPtrapssuchasmodule

on port state changes including link-up and link-down. Trap
monitoring of specific events can be selectively enabled or
disabledbythe networkadministrator.
TheiConverter familyofmanagedfiberaccessmediaconverters
are used in Service Provider access networks and Enterprise
LANs. iConverter media converters provide fiber connectivity
with copper to fiber, multimode fiber to single-mode fiber, or
dualfiber tosingle-fiber conversions.
