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
IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm
the
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 GR820-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
•
•
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.

NOTE
IE-iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm, TP/SFP
with SFP Module can be installed in an iMediaChassis
and MediaChassis series.
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:
1.
Remove the blank bracket covering the slot where the module is to be 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.
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
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.
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)
2
• 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 HOST-REMOTE
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
2
can be modified by using the included iView
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
2
and part number. Please download the current SNMP firmware and iView
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/J1LineTerm 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
2
module via iView
the DIP Switches had no effect. Configuration control enables the user to use iView
, the SNMP settings determine the configuration of the board and
2
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 iMcVModule, 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 IEiMcV-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-iMcV-Module
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.
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.
4
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.
