Operation Manual

FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The use of non-shielded I/O cables may not guarantee compliance with FCC RFI limits. This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of Communications. Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

About the iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater

The iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater chassis mounted media conversion module allows the end user to extend the distances between T1, J1, and E1 copper telephony systems by adding a fiber segment. The distances can support up to 100km depending on the module used and the fiber type available.

Each iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater includes one RJ-48 connector and one pair of SC or ST fiber optic connectors, which can support any fiber type in MultiMode or SingleMode. The Repeater series is also available in Single Strand Fiber, with SC connectors.

Installating an iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater

Each module requires one slot in the chassis. To install a module, remove the blank brackets covering the slots where the module is to be installed (if present), by removing the screws on the outside edges of the bracket. Slide the module into the chassis, via the card guides, until the module is seated securely in the connector. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw. Save any “blanks” removed during installation for future use should the configuration requirements change.

Crossover/Straight-Through Connection

iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater comes with an RJ-48 UTP connector that features a push-button switch, located next to the port, for selecting a crossover or straightthrough connection. To select a cross-over connection, press the push-button IN. A straight-through connection is selected when the push-button is OUT. When unsure what type of connection is needed, set the push button to the position that turns the NO LNK LED off.

The iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater Host and Remote modules cannot be both installed in managed chassis. The recommendation, if using a managed chassis, is to install the Host in the managed chassis; the Remote Unit should be installed in an unmanaged chassis.

NOTE

Before installing the modules, they must be configured for Host/Remote via the DIP Switches. The Master/Slave condition requires this configuration:

S3-2: ON Remote Unit Enabled (only at the REMOTE end) S3-2: OFF Remote Unit Disabled (only at the LOCAL end)

Configuration Instructions

The iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater module is factory-configured to use the following default features:

T1/E1 Mode T1 Receive Equalizer Gain Limit (EGL) Line Encoding

AMI (Passive Mode)

Transmit LIU Waveshape (Buildout) Receive LIU Termination Transmit Data Source Jitter Attenuator Select Remote Unit

Remote Unit Disabled

Loopback Selection Monitor/Boost Mode NRZ Selection

Disable NRZ (Passive Mode)

Receive Side 100 ohms Enabled

Standard Data

Place Jitter Attenuator on TX Side

No Loopback

No Boost

-30 dB (Limited Long Haul)

DSX-1 (0 to 133 ft) 0 dB CSU

The iView2 management software can be used to change some of the iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater features after installing the modules in the chassis. Refer to the iView

online help for more information.

Passive Mode

It is recommended that the default Passive mode configuration is used for most typical applications. Passive mode allows the fiber segment to pass data unchanged between the T1/E1 segments independent of the actual line coding (AMI, B8ZS, or HDB3). All errors and fault conditions from one T1/E1 end will pass through the fiber to the other end as if there were one long T1/E1 connection.

Requirements

Before installing the iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater modules, perform the following:

 Make sure the modules are correct for the fiber type and distance

requirements.

 Make sure that T1 UTP lines

DO NOT

use simplex power (no wet lines).

 Before installing the iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater modules, verify the DIP

Switches are configured for the feature wanted.

 Make sure to deploy the iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater modules in pairs, as

Host/Remote.

 Make sure the Remote Chassis is not managed.

Managed Modules

To manage iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater modules, an SNMP agent must be present; the iMediaChassis requires an SNMP management module. For a managed environment, first manually configure all of the desired DIP Switch selectable features to match what will be configured through the SNMP Management Module.

NOTE

Before installing the modules, they must be configured for Host/Remote via the DIP Switches. The Master/Slave condition requires this configuration:

S1-10: ON Remote Unit Enabled (only at the REMOTE end) (Remote) S1-10: OFF Remote Unit Disabled (only at the LOCAL end) (Host)

Use the Graphical User Interface (GUI) to enable features by using the iView2 SNMP management software. In a managed chassis, the software settings take priority over the SNMP enabled feature DIP Switch settings. Make sure that the software settings match the desired configuration requirements for the installation.

iView² Management Software

iView² is the B&B Electronics management software designed specifically for the B&B Electronics “iMcV” family of modules. It features a

GUI

and gives network managers the ability to monitor and control the manageable B&B Electronics products.

iView² is available in several versions, including WebServer version 3.0, and can also function as a snap-in module for HP OpenView Network Node Manager and other third party SNMP Management software.

iView

supports the following platforms:

 Windows 2000  Windows XP  Windows Vista  Windows 7

Please see the

SNMP

Management Module installation guide for software

configuration options.

NOTE

B&B Electronics’ iView2 software is available for downloading from the web site:

www.imcnetworks.com.

Unmanaged Modules

Before installing the iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater module into an unmanaged chassis, configure the modules for Host/Remote Units. For further information concerning the remaining DSW support Passive Module, see the Passive Mode section of this manual.

DIP Switches

All

iView2 enabled switches are overridden by management software.
