and equipment. Fiber Driver IP-Less™ media converters

are a simpler, cost-effective, and powerful alternative to

traditional IP/SNMP solutions for remote optical Ethernet

link management.

Fiber Driver media converters with remote management

are available for multi-mode as well as single-mode fiber

configurations. Multi-mode modules can span links up to

2 kilometers and single-mode modules can extend beyond

100 kilometers. Single fiber models combine transmit and

receive signals onto the same fiber to reduce the cost even

further for links up to 100 kilometers.

Contact a nearby authorized MRV Communications

representative or visit the MRV website at http://www.

mrv.com for additional information including prices and

availability.

Other significant module features include Link Integrity

Notification (LIN), remote loopback, and Last Gasp alerts.

LIN causes loss of link at any port of one module to disable

the other ports of the modules at each end of the affected

OE link to correctly propagate link status to dependent

network devices even at the functional end of a failed link.

Remote loopback adds to local loopback by verifying the

integrity of the entire link. Last Gasp notification sends a

management alert before the module shuts down in the

event of power loss.

WithoutinnovativeMRVtechnology,thesemodulefeatures

would involve expensive network devices and techniques

including management hardware supporting IP/SNMP at

each end of the link and inconvenient multiple IP address

assignments. To deal with compromised data channel

bandwidth and management security, other options

might include a VLAN or installation of duplicate fibers
