FRM220-FXS/FXO - Telephone over Fibre
The FRM220-FXS/FXO Fibre Optic Modem allows the extension of a single analog telephony service over fibre cabling. The unit can be employed as a fibre optic telephone extender but can also be used to connect to any analog device that uses the 'voiceband' such as fax machines. analog dial-up modems and EPOS terminals.
The FRM220-FXS/FXO is available with either ST, SC or a FC/PC fibre interface and both multi and singlemode optics are catered for. The copper telephony interface is presented as an RJ-11 socket and the unit ships with an RJ-11 to BT adapter cable for direct connection to UK terminal equipment.
Configuration is simple, using a single DIP switch select either FXS (subscriber) or FXO (exchange), connect the cables and they're up and running. Alternatively the unit can be located in a chassis with an NMC management card and all configuration can be achieved remotely via HTTP or SNMP.
The NMC card also allows the remote FRM220-FXS/FXO unit to be configured by means of an embedded communications channel contained within the fibre. Additionally the NMC card enables the status of the link to be monitored, one can view the health of fibre link and if the telephone is 'off hook'. Should an alarm condition occur (eg the fibre is broken) a 'trap' is generated and sent to the management station.
The FRM220-FXS/FXO can also be used in 'hotline' mode. 2 units are used, both configured as FXS and a telephone connected to each. As soon as 1 telephone goes 'off hook' the other rings. The FRM220-FXS/FXO also has the capability to pass caller-id information.
