About the IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP
NOTE
Unless noted otherwise, any reference is applicable for both the 1x9 and SFP version
of the
IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm
in this manual.
IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP is an SNMP-Manageable module that
converts standard TDM-based copper transports (T1, E1, J1) to a single-mode or
multi-mode fiber signal. It performs a standard “Line Termination” function as
defined in GR-820-CORE. This function transmits an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS)
on the line whenever the 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 RJ-48 connector, one pair of ST or SC fiber optic
connectors or an SFP port, which can support any fiber type at 155Mbps; dual
strand available in LC connectors, and Single Strand Fiber SFPs available in SC
connectors. IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP modules install into any
modular, SNMP manageable iMediaChassis, as well as the MediaChassis series,
which is unmanaged. The IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP offers an extended
temperature range of -40°C to +85°C; when installed in an IE-MediaChassis/1 or
2, available in AC and DC, the module can be installed in challenging heat or
cold-related environments.
An IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP with SFP Module with Configuration
Control, configured as a Host, allows an SNMP Management Module in a
managed chassis to manage the Remote. All settings are enabled and enforced
through the SNMP. The Host keeps a copy of the Remote’s configuration
settings. Each module offers the feature Configuration Control; please refer to the
appropriate section.
When the Host unit is not in a managed chassis, the Host configures the Remote.
This ensures that the Remote’s configuration will not revert to its DIP Switch
settings and potentially disrupt traffic. However, if the user changes the DIP
Switch settings on the Remote, the new configuration of the Remote will be
enabled.
When SNMP management is installed at the Host, the following functions at the
Remote are controlled from the Host unit:
•
Loopback
•
Line Code
•
Transmit Data Source
1
• Fault Loopback
The IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP with SFP Host unit can also display the
DDMI information from the Remote LineTerm module. Please download the
latest SNMP Management Module firmware and iVIew² software to ensure the
full support and functionality of the modules.

Installing an iMcV-Module
iMcV-Modules install in B&B Electronics’ SNMP manageable iMediaChassis series
or in any MediaChassis/IE-MediaChassis series.
To install an iMcV-Module:
Remove the blank bracket covering the slot where the module is to be
1.
installed by removing the screws on the outside edges of the bracket.
2.
Slide the iMcV-Module into the chassis, via the cardguides, until the module
is seated securely in the connector.
Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw.
3.
4.
Save any “blanks” removed during installation for future use if the
configuration requirements change.
NOTE
All modules are hot-swappable
Crossover/Straight-Through Connection
IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP comes with an RJ-48 UTP connector that
features a push-button switch, located next to the port, for selecting a crossover
connection, 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 LOS LED off.
Configuration
Proper configuration of the IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP is required for
maximum performance and reliability. The following sections describe the
prerequisites and the configurations available for both managed and unmanaged
modules.
2
Prerequisites
The IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP conforms to any T1/E1/J1-based
environment. Ensure all of the relevant information about the expected
installation environment is available before configuring the module. This
information includes:
Line Type T1 or E1
Line Coding used on T1: either AMI or B8ZS
Distance of the copper run for DSX1 lines (655 feet MAX)
Required CSU line Buildout (0db to -22db)
Receiver BOOST for T1 and E1 applications
Fiber transceivers must be for appropriate fiber run, i.e. (SM or MM)
Management location must be at HOST unit
Managed Modules
The IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP modules are installed as a HOSTREMOTE pair and can be remotely managed when the HOST is installed in an
iMediaChassis with an SNMP Management module.
For a managed environment, first manually configure the desired features
through DIP Switch settings to ensure this configuration is maintained if
management is ever lost. After the module is installed, the SNMP enabled
features for troubleshooting can be modified by using the included iView
2
SNMP
management software. Ensure the software settings match the desired
configuration requirements for the installation as the chassis may maintain an old
setting from a previous installation for that slot location. Module Details will
provide information such as serial number, date code and part number. Please
download the current SNMP firmware and iView
2
software to ensure all
functionality of the modules.
NOTE
If installing an IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, available in a fixed fiber transceiver model
(series 850-141XX), as a Host and an IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm with SFP and
Configuration Control (850-18100) as a Remote, connectivity will be established and data
will pass. However, there is no possibility of obtaining DDMI information of the SFP from
the Remote end, since the Host is not capable of it. If the Host and the Remote units are
both IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm with SFP and Configuration Control, then the Host can
extract DDMI information from the SFP at the Remote end.

Configuration Control
Some iMcV-Modules offer configuration control; labels on the front faceplate are
identified as such. Configuration control has been implemented to assist the end
user by retaining the latest configuration regardless of how that configuration
was implemented (via DIP Switch settings or SNMP).
Historically, SNMP would override DIP Switch settings. If changes are made to the
module via iView
2
, the SNMP settings determine the configuration of the board
and the DIP Switches had no effect. Configuration control enables the user to
2
use iView
or DIP Switches to modify the configuration.
With configuration control, the end user has three conditions under which the
configuration of the iMcV-Module with Configuration Control may be impacted:
Installing an IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP into a chassis already
loaded with iMcV-Modules or replacing an IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm,
TP/SFP
-
The iMcV-Module will transfer its saved configurations. The IE-iMcV-
T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP will not override the module’s configuration.
Replacing the same type of iMcV-Module
-
If the DIP Switch settings are the same as the settings on the removed
iMcV-Module, the IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP determines the
configuration settings through the chassis's management.
-
If the DSW are different, then the configuration of the module is
determined by the DIP Switch settings. (The settings are forwarded to
the chassis's management module and the value is saved.)
Installing a new model of iMcV-Module
-
If another type of module is installed into the same slot in a chassis, the
IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP clears the memory of the previous
configuration for that slot; the settings of a new module are adopted
and stored in the IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP.
The SNMP Write Lock switch does not impact any iMcV-Module or IE-iMcVModule with Configuration Control. Removing and installing a new SNMP
Management Module will no longer impact these modules either. However, if
there is a mixture of iMcV-Modules with and without Configuration Control, the
Write Lock Switch and a new SNMP Management Module must be taken into
consideration.
4
If the command cleandb is applied to an SNMP Management Module, all the
settings for the modules will be removed, but the Configuration Control modules
will still be based on the last change made, while those without Configuration
Control will be set to their default settings.
NOTE
If the end user has a mixture of standard iMcV-Modules as well as Configuration Control
iMcV-Modules, it is important to understand how SNMP and DIP Switches will impact the
cards depending on their capability. Standard iMcV-Modules cannot be upgraded to
Configuration Control capability, so it is strongly recommended to set the DIP Switches on
the modules and then configure them via software to match the same settings.
