FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement

iMcV-S2MM/1250 and iMcV-S2SM/1250

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

Alimits 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-Modules

iMcV-Modules are SNMP-manageable and install in the modular, SNMP-manageable
iMediaChassis series in the unmanaged MediaChassis series. The following media
conversion and fiber mode conversion iMcV Modules are described in this manual:

iMcV-PIM

iMcV-LIM

iMcV-S2MM/
M2MM/S2SM

Ethernet module providing a single conversion between 10Base-T twisted
pair and 10Base-FL single-mode or multi-mode fiber. Each iMcV-PIM
includes one RJ-45 connector and one pair of ST or SC fiber optic
connectors.

end devices must be set to Force mode.

TP LinkLoss and FO LinkLoss are always enabled—please see the table later
in this manual.

Fast Ethernet module provides a single conversion between 100Base-TX
twisted pair and 100Base-FX/SX single-mode or multi-mode fiber. Each
iMcV-LIM includes one RJ-45 connector and one pair of ST or SC fiber optic
connectors.

Also available in a single-strand fiber version, iMcV-LIM TX/SSFX allows two
wavelengths to share one fiber strand – Full-Duplex data travels on different
wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm) – doubling the capacity of fiber.
Includes one RJ-45 connector and one SC fiber connector.

Protocol-independent modules provide a single conversion between single­mode and multi-mode (S2MM*) fiber, 1310 nm to 1550 nm single-mode
(S2SM), or 850 nm to 1300 nm multi-mode (M2MM). Supported
transmission speeds are: 10-155 Mbps and 622-1250Mbps. Each module
includes two pairs of ST or SC fiber optic connectors (or small form factor
connector). Single-strand fiber versions also available.

When connecting 10 Mbps iMcV-PIM Media Converters, the

Installation

iMcV-Modules install in any IMC Networks SNMP-manageable iMediaChassis series
or in any MediaChassis. To install an iMcV-Module, remove the blank bracket
covering the slot where the module is to be installed by removing the screw on the
outside edge of the bracket. Slide the iMcV 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 configuration requirements change.

LED Operation

Each iMcV-Module features diagnostic LEDs that provide information on features and
ports.

LEDs on iMcV-PIM (-10)

The LED functions are as follows:

PWR Glows green when unit has power.

LNK (RJ-45) Glows green if link is established on the twisted

pair port (located on RJ-45).

ACT (RJ-45) Glows amber when data is being passed on the

twisted pair (located on RJ-45).

LNK Glows green when link is established on the

fiber port.

ACT Glows green if data is being passed on the fiber

port.

FA Pulse Glows green when Pulsing FiberAlert is enabled
