About the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm
iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm is an SNMP manageable module that converts standard
thin coax signals ( DS3, E3/STS, STS ) to a single-mode or multi-mode fiber signal. It
performs the standard “LineTermination” (GR-820-CORE) function of these TDMbased line signals. This function transmits an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) on the line
whenever a received signal is lost. Line faults can easily be isolated to one line
section and do not propagate over multiple-line sections as they do with normal line
repeaters.
Each module includes one pair of BNC connectors and one pair of ST or SC fiber
optic connectors. This module can be installed in any iMediaChassis or MediaChassis
series, but can only be managed through a SNMP manageable iMediaChassis. DS3
Line Term modules must be configured as Host and Remote. To configure a module
as a Remote, set DIP Switch #10 to ON.
In addition, it is available with single-strand fiber: iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm
BNC/SSFX modules allow two wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm) to share one
fiber strand, essentially doubling the capacity of installed fiber. The single-strand
versions as HOST and REMOTE must have opposite transmit and receive wavelengths
iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm modules must be deployed in pairs (one at each end of a
fiber line). The data transmitted on the fiber ports can only be received and
interpreted by another iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm unit.
Configuration
Proper configuration of the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm is required for maximum
performance and reliability. The following sections describe the prerequisites and the
configurations available for both managed and unmanaged modules.
Prerequisites
The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm conforms to many DS3/E3/STS-based environments.
Ensure all of the relevant information about the expected installation environment is
available before configuring the module. This information includes
• Distance of the coax run (450 feet Max)
• Distance of the fiber run (Must match fiber transceiver selected)
• Troubleshooting requirements
1
Managed Modules
The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm modules can be remotely managed when installed
in an iMediaChassis with an SNMP management module. For a managed an
environment, first manually configure the desired features through DIP Switch settings
to ensure that they continue to function if management is ever lost.
2
After the module is installed, modify the SNMP enabled features by using the iView
SNMP management software. In a managed chassis, the software settings take
priority over DIP Switch settings. Ensure the software settings match the desired
configuration requirements for the installation.
iView² Management Software
iView² is the IMC Networks management software designed specifically for the IMC
Networks “iMcV” family of modules. It features a
GUI
and gives network managers
the ability to monitor and control the manageable IMC Networks 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. For assistance in selecting the right version
of iView² for your operating system, please visit:
http://www.imcnetworks.com/products/iview2.cfm
2
iView
supports the following platforms:
• Windows 2000
• Windows XP
• Windows Vista
• Windows 7
In addition, there are Java versions of iView² for any Java-capable operating systems
such as Linux.
Please see the
SNMP
Management Module installation guide for software
configuration options.
Unmanaged Modules
Before installing the module in an unmanaged chassis, manually configure all of the
desired DIP Switch selectable features.

DIP Switches
The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm DIP Switches are located at S1 and S2 on the PCB.
The S2 DIP Switches are factory configured and must not be changed. The S1 DIP
Switches provide control over the available iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm features.
The location of the S1 DIP Switches is displayed in the following diagram:
