About the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS
iMcV-DS3/E3/STS is an SNMP-manageable module which converts
thin coax signals to single-mode or multi-mode fiber
signals at a data rate of 45 Mbps (DS3), 34 Mbps (E3) or 52
Mbps (STS). Each iMcV-DS3/E3/STS, BNC/FX module includes
one pair of BNC connectors and one pair of ST or SC fiber
optic connectors. This module must be installed in either,
an SNMP-manageable iMediaChassis chassis or an unmanaged
MediaChassis chassis.
Also available for single-strand fiber, iMcV-DS3/E3/STS,
BNC/SSFX includes one pair of BNC connectors and an SC
fiber optic connector. iMcV-DS3/E3/STS, BNC/SSFX modules
allow two wavelengths, for example, (1310 nm and 1550 nm)
to share one fiber strand, essentially doubling the
capacity of installed fiber.
iMcV-DS3/E3/STS modules must be deployed in pairs (one at
each end of a conversion). The data transmitted on the
fiber ports can only be received and interpreted by the
receive fiber of another iMcV-DS3/E3/STS. The single
strand versions must have opposite transmit and receive
wavelengths (for example one that transmits at 1310 nm must
be paired with another that receives at 1550 nm).
Installating an iMcV-DS3/E3/STS
iMcV-DS3/E3/STS modules can be installed in any
iMediaChassis, MediaChassis or IE-MediaChassis series
(remote modules can also be installed in any unmanaged
MediaChassis series or managed iMediaChassis series). 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 card guides, until the module is
securely seated in the connector. Secure the module to the
chassis by tightening the captive screw. Save any blanks
removed during installation for future use.
Configuration Instructions
Proper configuration of the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS is required for
maximum performance and reliability. The following
sections describe the prerequisites and the configurations
available for both managed and unmanaged modules.
1
Requirements
The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS is designed to conform to many
DS3/E3/STS-based environments. Make sure that all of the
relevant information about the expected installation
environment is available before configuring the module.
This information includes the following:
•
Distance of the coax run
•
Distance of the fiber run
Troubleshooting requirements.
•
Managed Modules
To manage iMcV-DS3/E3/STS 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.
Use the Graphical User Interface (GUI) to enable features
by using the iView
2
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.
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)
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.
2
iView2 supports the following platforms:
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Please see the SNMP Management Module installation guide
for software configuration options.
3
Unmanaged Modules
Before installing the module in an unmanaged chassis,
including IE-MediaChassis series and MediaChassis series,
manually configure all of the desired DIP Switch selectable
features. In an unmanaged configuration, none of the DIP
Switch settings can be overridden by software.
DIP Switches
The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS DIP Switches are located on S1 and S2
on the PCB. The S2 DIP Switches are factory configured and
must not be moved. The S1 DIP Switches provide control
over the available iMcV-DS3/E3/STS features.
The location of the S1 DIP Switches is displayed in the
following diagram:
