About the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX

The iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX™ is an SNMP-manageable, IEEE 802.3
10/100/1000 switching media converter that converts both speed and
media. Each iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX module provides a single conversion
between one of the following:

• 10Base-T twisted pair and 1000Base-SX/LX multi-mode or single-mode
fiber

• 100Base-TX twisted pair and 1000Base-SX/LX multi-mode or single­mode fiber

• 1000Base-T twisted pair and 1000Base-SX/LX multi-mode or single­mode fiber.

LED and Port Operation

The LED functions for the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX are as follows:

PWR Glows green when powered.
1000 Glows green when functioning at 1000 Mbps.
100 Glows green when functioning at 100 Mbps.
10 Glows amber when functioning at 10 Mbps.
LNK/ACT

• Glows green when a link is established.

• Blinks green when data activity occurs.
(This is true for both LNK/ACT LEDs.)

FDX

• Glows amber when in Full-Duplex mode.

• Blinks amber when operating in Half-Duplex
mode and when collisions occur.

FA Glows green when FiberAlert is enabled.
TX LL Glows green when TX LinkLoss is enabled.
LNK/ACT

• Glows green when a link is established.

• Blinks green when data activity occurs.

MASTER Glows amber when in Master mode.

The twisted pair port on the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX includes AutoCross, a
feature which automatically selects between a crossover workstation or
pass-through connection depending on the connected device.
