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 equipm ent.
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 a ppareils 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, SNMP­manageable iMediaChassis series in the unmanaged MediaChassis series. The
following media conversion and fiber mode conversion iMcV Modules are
described in this manual:

iMcV-PIM

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.

When connecting 10 Mbps iMcV-PIM Media

Converters, the end devices must be set to Force mode.

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

iMcV-LIM

Fast Ethernet module provides a single conversion between 100Base­TX 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.

iMcV-S2MM/
M2MM/S2SM

Protocol-independent modules provide a single conversion between
single-mode 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.

Installation

iMcV-Modules install in any B&B Electronics 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
