Overview
The Radiance 10Mbps single interface line cards offer transparent
integration of fiber optic connectivity or copper-to-coaxial integration in
Ethernet networks. These innovative solutions provide full signal restoration—
with low bit delay—ensuring accurate data transmission and guaranteeing
maximum cable length support. All cards are compatible with any Ethernet
device.
Through Metrobility’s unique management functionality, you can manage
remote connections through console commands, our NetBeacon® or WebBeacon
software, or with any standard SNMP application. This end-to-end visibility of
your network not only simplifies network management but also increases
network reliability.
The Radiance 10Mbps line card provides the following key features:
•Fused power on each line card to protect the rest of the cards in the
chassis from a short circuit. The power (PWR) LED on an affected
line card will not be lit if its fuse is blown.
•Half or full duplex support.
•Auto polarity support on all twisted-pair ports.
•Link Loss Carry Forward functionality to aid in troubleshooting a
remote network connection (excluding the R111-12). Refer to the
section titled Link Loss Carry Forward for more information.
•MDI-II/MDI-X switch installed on all twisted-pair ports to
eliminate the need for crossover cables.
•Low bit delay to ensure accurate data flow across the network.
•Strict standards compliance that provides compatibility with other
vendors’ equipment for flexible connectivity.
•Transparency to data frame sizes.
