About the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II Non-Telco, Telco and with Telco/Last
Gasp
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II is an optical demarcation network interface device
(CPE),
allowing fiber network operators to connect to and manage remote network
segments. Advanced networking capabilities allow operators to easily observe both
end points and the fiber link between them as a single management entity, rather
than as separate networks. No host management traffic is visible to the remote or
customer network nor is access to the customer network required, guaranteeing end-
to-end data integrity. The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II offers 802.3ah OAM (passive).
Management is also available via the copper port; see Mode One for configuration
instructions.
NOTE
Unless noted otherwise, all reference to the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II in this manual are also
applicable to the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II with: Non-Telco, Telco and Telco/Last Gasp.
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II includes one 100 Mbps fiber port (OPTICS), one 10/100
twisted pair data port (DATA), and one auxiliary Craft port for serial configuration
(with the included adapter). The twisted pair port can Auto Negotiate or be set
manually for 10 or 100 Mbps, and half or full-duplex. The optics port operates at
100 Mbps, full duplex mode only. Powering options include AC and DC power as
well as Power over Ethernet, functioning as a Powered Device (PD) compliant with
802.3af. Models offering Telco do NOT support PoE.
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II is 802.1Q VLAN compatible, supporting a full-range of VLAN
IDs, and offering Q-in-Q tagging and a 2-tier queue for differential prioritization
(802.1p). The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II also includes the LinkLoss and FiberAlert as well as
LinkFault Pass Through (LFPT) features for troubleshooting, loopback testing
functionality, bi-directional bandwidth control, and optional protection against
Broadcast storms. B&B Electronics offers a Graphical User Interface (GUI) based
element management system called iView², which runs on SNMP.
Single-strand fiber versions of the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II allow two wavelengths to share
one fiber strand — Full-Duplex data travels on different wavelengths for example,
1310 nm and 1550 nm — doubling the capacity of fiber.
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II with Telco/Last Gasp provides support for the Last Gasp
feature. This feature alerts the end user if power to the device fails. A Trap can be
sent to indicate the down condition if Last Gasp is enabled via the CLI. Refer to the
Unit Control Settings section on page 28.
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II w/Telco and Telco/Last Gasp, provides support for Telco
environments,
±48
VDC. As a result, they cannot support PoE, and cannot function as
a PD device.

Management
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II is capable of accepting IP-based management traffic from its
Data and/or Fiber ports. Management can be configured on either port via the
iView2 software. When connected to an iMcV-FiberLinX-II, Host-to- Remote
management is IP-less.
iView² Management Software
iView² is a network management application for B&B Electronics’ intelligent
networking devices. It features a GUI, which provides network managers the ability
to monitor and control B&B Electronics’ products. The application is available in a
desktop version and a Web-Server version 3.0 ; the MIBs-II can also function as a
snap-in module for HP OpenView Network Node Manager and other like SNMP
applications.
iView² supports the following platforms:
•
•
•
Windows NT
Windows 7
Windows 8
iConfig Utility
iConfig is an in-band utility created by B&B Electronics, used for SNMP configuration
for B&B Electronics’ SNMP-manageable devices.
The iConfig feature allows the following to be performed:
•
•
Set an IP address, subnet mask and default gateway
Define community strings and SNMP traps
iConfig also includes an authorized IP address system and restricted access to MIB
groups which are supported by B&B Electronics’ manageable devices. These extra
layers of security do not affect SNMP compatibility. iConfig can upload new versions
of the system software and new MIB information. It also includes diagnostic
capabilities for faster resolution of technical support issues.
Default Username/Password
The default user ID and password for both iConfig and Telnet are the following:
User: admin / Password:admin
Installation
To install the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II into a network environment, connect the proper
twisted-pair and fiber cables. In a standalone configuration, or if direct management
