About the IE-MultiWay

The IE-MultiWay is an SNMP manageable standalone device providing two fixed
10/100/1000Base-T copper ports and 2 SFP ports. The SFP ports support fiber or
copper SFPs. As a plug and play device, the IE-MultiWay provides several distinct
modes of operation to support a wide range of applications. The IE-MultiWay
provides OAM functionality with 802.3ah (LINK-OAM ah) and 802.1ag (SERVICE­OAM ag) supported on each port. It supports jumbo frame sizes of up to 10,240
bytes as well as AutoCross on the copper ports. Power options for the IE-MultiWay
include both a standard low voltage wall transformer and a Power Block for Office
Battery or a DC Power Supply connection. As an Industrial Ethernet device, it
supports an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. A console port and a
DIP Switch bay provide configuration options.

The IE-MultiWay can be directly managed, because it contains on-board logic.
Management capability is available if the device has firmware version 123-00A1 or

2

higher, which can be downloaded from the IMC Networks site. iView

is a free
software, posted on the website under Support/Downloads. Please refer to page 4
for details.

The IE-MultiWay requires two small form-factor (SFP) modules which provide greater
flexibility in the network environment. The hot-swappable nature of the SFPs,
available in dual strand for Multi Mode and Single Mode, and single strand fiber types
for Single Mode, allow for easy configuration and future upgrading as network
demands evolve. The SFP modules must be MSA-compliant and both DDMI and
non-DDMI are supported. The fiber SFP can support 100Mbps or 1000Mbps; while
the copper SFPs support 10/100/1000Mbps and 1000Mbps.

SFPs are sold separately by IMC Networks and meet Class 1 Laser Safety Standard.

IE-MultiWay Features and Configuration

The IE-MultiWay offers a full feature set including Auto Negotiation, Selective
Advertising, AutoCross, VLANs, SNMP management, loopback testing and OAM. Unit
software updates can be downloaded through TFTP or iView

2

(iConfig view).

The IE-MultiWay can be installed as a standalone CPE device, back to back, or as a
Remote when connected to an iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II configured as a Host.

As a CPE device, the IE-MultiWay can behave as a remote to an iMcV-Giga­FiberLinX-II host when:

1) The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II:

• Is connected via the SFP ports on the IE-MultiWay

• Is configured as a Host

• Uses firmware version A1 860-00D1 or higher

2) The SNMP card (if present):

• Uses SNMP firmware version 953-00C8 or higher

3) The IE-MultiWay:

• Uses firmware version 123-00A1 or higher

2

When using iView

, the IE-MultiWay can be fully managed without an IP address

using a secure management channel. However, an IP address can be assigned

2

through iView2 (iConfig view), the CLI or Telnet using the default IP address of

10.10.10.10.

Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM)

OAM is a general term used in network management and is typically applied to a
series of standard protocols for installing, monitoring, and troubleshooting
Metropolitan Area Networks.

When applied to Ethernet – OAM is typically assumed to refer to the layer 2 (MAC
layer), management protocols, specifically 802.3ah and 802.1ag. Layer 2
management protocols do not need higher level transport protocols to operate, OAM
data is transferred in standard multicast Ethernet frames.

802.3ah OAM:

(LINK-OAM)

802.1ag:

(SERVICE-OAM)

Is a point-to-point protocol designed to verify a specific link
between two directly connected devices (over copper or fiber),
which support 802.3ah OAM. One device must be configured
to be an active OAM device, the other a passive (typically the
core switch would be the active device, the end device passive).

802.3ah OAM provides link status, remote fault detection and
the ability to initiate a loopback circuit.

Often referred to as Connectivity Fault Management (CFM), is an
end-to-end protocol designed to verify a specific network path
between two devices that may well be in different geographical
locations. CFM allows the network operator to administer,
monitor and debug the network using continuity check (a heart
beat message), link trace (similar to traceroot, but operating at
the MAC layer) and finally loopback (can be likened to a layer 2
ping).

iView² Management Software

iView² is the IMC Networks management software that features a Graphical User
Interface (GUI) and gives network managers the ability to monitor and control the
manageable IMC Networks products.

iView² is available in several versions, including a WebServer version 3.0, and can
also function as a snap-in module for HP OpenView Network Node Manager and
other third party SNMP Management software. For assistance in selecting the right
version of iView² for a specific operating system, please visit:

http://www.imcnetworks.com/products/iview2.cfm

2

iView

supports the following platforms:

• Windows 2000

• Windows XP

• Windows Vista

• Windows 7

Please see the SNMP Management Module manual for software configuration
options.

iView2 (iConfig view)

iView2 (iConfig view) is an in-band utility created by IMC Networks, used for SNMP
configuration for IMC Networks’ SNMP-manageable devices.

2

The iView

(iConfig view) feature allows the following to be performed:

• Set an IP address, subnet mask and default gateway

• Define community strings and SNMP Traps

2

iView

(iConfig view) also includes an authorized IP address system and restricted
access to MIB groups which are supported by IMC Networks’ manageable devices.
These extra layers of security do not affect SNMP compatibility. iView

2

(iConfig view)
can upload new versions of the system software and new MIB information. It also
includes diagnostic capabilities for faster resolution of technical support issues.

4

Hardware Mounting Options

The

IE-MultiWay can be mounted on a DIN Rail or using a wall mount bracket
(shown below). DIN Rail clips (part number 806-39105) and wall mount brackets
(part number 895-39229) are available for purchase through an IMC Networks
Distributor

.

The IE-MultiWay can be mounted with two DIN Rail clips, a hardware option
available through IMC Networks. The DIN Rail clips include screws, to allow the
installation onto a DIN Rail. Install the screws into DIN Rail clips, which can be
mounted parallel or perpendicular to the DIN Rail. Snap the converter onto the
clips. To remove the converter from the DIN Rail, use a flat-head screwdriver into
the slot to gently pry the converter from the rail. Refer to picture on page 7.

NOTE

The DIN Rail clips are designed for use on a DIN-35 rail.

5

DIP Switch Selectable Mode Configuration

The IE-MultiWay can be configured in one of the following ways via DIP Switch
settings (see page 7):

Configuration

Method

4-Port Switch
(default)

Dual
Converter
mode

1+1 SFP
Protection
Non-Revertive
mode

Description

In this mode, the unit acts as a standard 4-port MAC-layer switch.

In this mode, the unit functions as two independent (SFP to TX)
media converters and traffic never passes between the two
converters.

In this mode, the "SFP A" port (fiber or copper) is connected
through the switch to the drop ports as the main link. The "SFP B"
port (fiber or copper) is active into the MAC switch, but no
connection inside the switch is made; in this way, the "SFP B" line
is held as the standby line. The "SFP B" line is held in the LINK
state for testing and line verification, but does not actively carry
user data.

When a fault is detected on the active line, all customer traffic is
switched to the “SFP B” port. With non-Revertive mode data is
not resumed by “SFP A” port until SFP B fails or is disconnected.

1+1 SFP
Protection
Revertive
mode

In this mode, the "SFP A" port (fiber or copper) is connected
through the switch to the drop ports as the main link. The "SFP B"
port (fiber or copper) is active into the MAC switch, but no
connection inside the switch is made; in this way, the "SFP B" line
is held as the standby line. The "SFP B" line is held in the LINK
state for testing and line verification, but does not actively carry
user data.

When a fault is detected on the active line, all customer traffic is
switched to the “SFP B” port. Once the “A” port is no longer in a
fault condition, data is resumed on that port.

NOTE

Revertive and Non-Revertive modes can only operate on the ports with SFPs, not the fixed
copper ports.

Y.

Press the

Space Bar

once to return to the main screen without making any

changes.

DHCP Disable

(Static IP Addressing)

DHCP is disabled in the default configuration. Initially, modules are assigned a Static
default IP Address of 10.10.10.10. Changes to the Static IP Address can be added

2

manually through iView

(iConfig view) or a Console session. The changes will be

initiated following reboot of the module.

DHCP Enable

(Dynamic IP Addressing)

If a DHCP server is present on the network and DHCP is enabled, the DHCP client
will initiate a dialogue with the server during the boot up sequence. The server will
then issue an IP address to the management card. Once the new IP address is
received, the SNMP Management Module will reboot so that the new IP address will
take effect. Refer to About Serial Port Configuration for more information about
Enabling/Disabling DHCP.

When there is no DHCP server on the network, use the serial configuration to
manually set the IP addresses.

When DHCP is enabled, the IP address (default 10.10.10.10 or a previously used IP
address, or user-configured) is saved. When DHCP is disabled, the saved IP address
will be reinstated and the device will reboot.

DHCP servers give out lease times: devices renew their leases based on the
administrator-specified time. If a device cannot renew its lease, and the lease
expires, the device will be given the IP address 10.10.10.10 and will reboot.
