Compact Fiber Optic Network Interface Device for Industrial-Grade Delivery of Transparent LAN Services over Fiber, with Media Conversion, Carrier Grade Remote Management and Line Provisioning Capabilities.Transparent LAN service providers require remote management capabilities, and must be able to isolate management traffic and customer data. Typical Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) do not allow this, since those devices are usually owned by the customer and inaccessible to the network operator. The compact IE-MiniFiberLinX-II, functioning as a more advanced Network Interface Device (NID), is designed for operation by service providers and campus network administrators. It provisions point-to-point fiber optic connections and provides a remote network interface at the customer's location that monitors the entire link between two locations.
