The iConverter xFF is a protocol-transparent managed media converter that provides reliable and cost-effective conversion between different wavelengths, multimode and single-mode, and dual and single-fiber networks.

There is no manual configuration required with the plug-and-play iConverter xFF. Connect the fiber cables to the appropriate interface and the installation is complete.

The iConverter xFF operates as a protocol and rate-transparent device over a data rate of 1Mbps to 1.25Gbps by selecting the appropriate Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceiver. The xFF supports Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, OC-3 and OC-12 SONET protocols.

iConverter xFF models are available with multimode, single-mode and single-fiber SFP transceivers. Depending on the speed and protocol supported on the installed SFP transceiver, distances can be extended up to 140km on single-mode or 5km on multimode fiber.

The xFF features user-selectable Link Propagate and Remote Fault Detection modes to facilitate quick fault detection, isolation and reporting.

The iConverter xFF modules are hot-swappable and can be mounted in a 19-Module (2U high) or 5-Module (1U high) rack-mountable chassis (19-inch or 23-inch) with any combination of redundant AC and DC power supplies. It can also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or DC powered chassis, or in a 1-Module chassis with AC or DC power input.

Management is accomplished by using a Network Management 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 module can be accessed via SNMP, Telnet, and via a serial port. The SNMP-based management is accomplished via Omnitron's intuitive, graphic-oriented NetOutlook management software or third party SNMP management software. Management via the Telnet and the serial interfaces have an easy-to-use, menu-driven interface.

Real-time xFF parameters that can be monitored include power, link, data receive status, module type and model, hardware and software revisions, serial numbers and a user-defined identifier.

The user can override the xFF module's physical DIP-switch settings by using SNMP or Telnet to remotely configure DIP-switch-selectable parameters such as Link Propagate or Remote Fault Detection.

In addition to all standard iConverter SNMP traps such as module insertion and removal, the xFF modules can generate traps on port state changes including link-up and link-down. Trap monitoring of specific events can be selectively enabled or disabled by the network administrator.
