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 iMcV-10G-Converter XFP/XFP

The iMcV-10G-Converter is a dual wide module that can be installed in an
iMediaChassis series, a MediaChassis /2 or an IE-MediaChassis/2.

The iMcV-10G-Converter is a media converter module with XFP ports which can
provide a conversion between different fiber types or copper to fiber. Fiber types
include Single Mode (SM) and Multi Mode (MM). The supported transmission speeds
are: 10G Ethernet, 10G Sonet/SDH, 10G Fiber channel and 10G OTN. The copper
SFP supports 10G Ethernet only.

For information about the iMcV-10G-Converter refer to the IMC Networks web site
at: http://www.imcnetworks.com/Support/Downloads.cfm

Configuration Instructions

The iMcV-10G-Converter modules have user-configurable features (e.g., Loss Carry
Forward (LCF), speed (based on protocol selection) and loopback.

Installing an iMcV-Modules

The iMcV-10G-Converter can be installed in IMC Networks’ SNMP manageable
iMediaChassis, MediaChassis/2 AC or DC, or IE-MediaChassis/2 AC or DC.

NOTE

All modules are hot-swappable.

To install an iMcV-10G-Converter:

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.

Slide the iMcV-10G-Converter into the chassis, via the cardguides, until the

2.
module is seated securely in the connector.

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

3.

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

4.
requirements change.

Managed Modules

To manage one or more iMcV-Modules, a SNMP Management Module must be
installed in an iMediaChassis series, available in 3, 6 or 20 slots for both AC and DC.
Using management, the 10G converter will be identified in the slot it is installed in, as
well as options to set LoopBack and Loss Carry Forward (LCF). However, the Module
details includes an XFP table so that management can provide information about the
XFP if and XFP with DDMI is installed. The XFP table provides information such as
temperature, voltage, output power, receive power, vendor serial number, vendor
part number and vendor name.

iMcV-10G-Converter requires SNMP binary 953-00D1 or higher.

Configuration Control and SNMP Management

Some iMcV-Modules* offer Configuration Control. Labels on the front faceplate will
identify if the iMcV-module has Configuration Control.

Its main function is to assist the end-user by retaining the latest configuration
regardless of how the initial configuration was setup, whether through DIP Switch
settings or the SNMP Management Module’s configuration.

Configuration Control was created to solve several issues:

1.

When non-Configuration Control modules are placed in a managed chassis, the
module’s DIP Switches are ignored, and the module is configured by the chassis’
Management Module. If the Management Module is removed or fails, then the
modules will revert back to the DIP Switch settings. When a module changes
from Management Module settings to DIP Switch settings, the traffic across the
module will drop for a very short period of time.

When introducing a Management Module to a chassis full of working non-

2.
Configuration Control modules, the modules will stop using the DIP Switch
settings and start using the Management Module settings. When a module
changes from DIP Switch settings to Management Module settings, the traffic
across the modules will drop for a very short period of time.

When removing an existing module and replacing it with a different type of

3.
module, the configuration of the existing module remains.
