Datasheet Time Division Multiplexers EM316GEMX4R Highlights and Benefits Four 1-Gigabit Ethernet channels multiplexed through a redundant 5-Gbps trunk Optimization of existing fiber bandwidth and wavelengths Hot-swappable SFP trunk and access interfaces for more applications and in-service maintenance Transparent network operation – does not alter data or packet framing Overview The Fiber Driver® LinkMux family from MRV is a line of time division multiplexer (TDM) modules designed to optimize fiber and wavelength use and to provide redundancy. The EM316GEMX4R (GEMX4R) module multiplexes four channels of Gigabit Ethernet over a proprietary 5-Gbps optical trunk using a single wavelength. The GEMX4R uses standard SFP (Small Formfactor Pluggable) transceivers, allowing optimization per each individual interface for each application. The module supports the full range of MRV fiber-optic and copper SFPs. The EM316LNXNM-OT network manager provides a command line interface (CLI) and an SNMP API to monitor and provision the GEM4R module. The SNMP interface supports industry standard network management systems (NMS) including MRV’s MegaVision Pro®, which provides real-time access to link and interface status, operating temperature, fan status, power supply voltage, performance monitoring, and more. Real-time interface monitoring through SFP Digital Diagnostics (SFF-8472) --Early detection of potential network problems --Reduced network down time and overhead Link redundancy capability with fast switchover – essential service protection for mission-critical applications SNMP management with MegaVision Pro® support for end-to-end network management Reduced capital and operating expenses Applications Limited fiber installations Mission-critical services requiring maximum up time Sub-wavelength aggregation for WDM transport Application 1 Gigabit Ethernet Switches, Routers, etc. Gigabit Ethernet Switches, Routers, etc. EM316LNXNM EM316GEMX4R 5 Gbps Redundant Trunk (Multiplexed) 1 Datasheet Many SFPs provide Digital Diagnostics, a powerful tool for managing the pluggable interface. The GEMX4R module fully supports the Digital Diagnostics Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standard (SFF-8472) that reports a number of interface parameters including: - Optical transmit power - Voltage & temperature - Serial number - Optical receive power - Vendor ID - Wavelength Fiber Driver GEMX4R modules include six SFP interfaces: four access ports and two trunk interface ports. The trunk ports include redundant link capability, an invaluable feature for mission critical applications. A lost link on the active trunk of the module can automatically switch to the secondary trunk and send a management alert. The link transition happens quickly to minimize any effect on network data. The event is transparent to the network and to the end user. Switchovers are based on optical receive power thresholds and time of day, which may be set through management.
