ODIN Intercom Matrix Basic Operation 41
IFL Inter-Frame Linking (Multi-
Frame Only)
IFL (Inter-Frame Linking) is a system configuration in which
multiple ODIN frames operate as a single intercom matrix.
Using fiber optic IFL cables, up to eight ODIN frames can be
inter-connected.
NOTE: Although IFL is only used for connecting two or
more frames together, the IFL port status screen is
accessible for single frame systems in case a
second frame is connected at a later time.
The SFPs are sold separately. ODIN supports single mode and
multimode SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) Transceiver.
ODIN can operate using either mode, but for long distances,
single mode is recommended.
NOTE: The minimum rate of the IFL SFP is 2.125 Gbps.
Therefore, a standard Gigabit Ethernet SFP will
not work.
ODIN frames can also be set up for IFL redundancy. This means
if one link fails, audio is still available on the redundant link.
ODIN has Primary and Secondary IFL connector sets located on
the back panel of the frame that are used to set up IFL
connection redundancy. This means the IFL connection has
failover protection if one IFL connection becomes unresponsive
or inactive.
IMPORTANT: IFL connection redundancy does not
mean the frame and its setup is
redundant. Only the connection between
frames is protected from cable failure.
