Operation Manual

FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 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 B

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 B

prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

About the IE-iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP

NOTE

Unless noted otherwise, all references to the IE-iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP in this manual are
also applicable to the iMcV-MediaLinX TX/FX. Configuration Control models are identified by
a Config Control label and a unique part number.

The SNMP manageable IE-iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP module provides a single
conversion between 10/100 Base-T twisted pair and 100 Base-SX/FX fiber. Each IE­iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP includes one RJ-45 connector and one pair of ST or SC fiber
optic connectors, and/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-MediaLinX TX/SFP modules install into any modular, SNMP
manageable iMediaChassis, as well as the MediaChassis series, which is unmanaged.
The IE-iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP offers an extended temperature range of -40C to
+85C; 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.

Installing an iMcV-Module

iMcV-Modules install in IMC Networks’ 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 installed

1.
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.

3.

Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw.

4.

Save any “blanks” removed during installation for future use if the configuration
requirements change.

NOTE

All modules are hot-swappable

Configuration Instructions

IE-iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP modules have user-configurable features. Refer to the
matrix for configuring both managed (via an SNMP compatible management
application such as iView²) or the DIP Switch configuration table for unmanaged IE­iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP modules.

1

Managed Modules

To manage one or more IE-iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP Modules, an SNMP agent must
be present in the chassis: The iMediaChassis series requires an SNMP Management
Module. To configure Managed Modules, install the module first, and then configure
using the management software. Module Details will provide information such as
serial number, date code and part number as well as product-specific features.

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 via DIP
Switch settings, then hardware settings determine the configuration of the board. If

2

changes are made to the module via iView

, the SNMP settings determine the

configuration of the board.

Utilizing Configuration Control, the end user has three conditions under which the
configuration of the iMcV-Module may be impacted:

• Installing an IE-iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP into a chassis already loaded with iMcV-

Modules or replacing an IE-iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP

-

The iMcV-Module will transfer its saved configurations. The IE-iMcV-

MediaLinX TX/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 iMcV­Module, the IE-iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP determines the configuration
settings.

-

If the DIP Switch settings are different, then the configuration of the module
is determined by the DIP Switch settings. (The settings are forwarded to the
IE-iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP 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 IE­iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP clears the memory of the previous configuration
for that slot; the settings of a new module are adopted and stored in the IE­iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP.
