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-T1/E1/J1

The iMcV-T1/E1/J1™ chassis mounted media conversion module allows you to
extend the distances between T1, J1, and E1 copper telephony systems by adding a
fiber segment. The distances you can add range from 2km to 100km depending on
the module used and the fiber type available.

Contents

This box contains the following items:

• 1 - iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Module

• 1 - Operation Manual

Prerequisites

Before you install the iMcV-T1/E1/J1 modules, perform the following:

• Make sure you have the correct modules for your fiber type and your distance

requirements.

• Make sure that T1 UTP lines

DO NOT

use simplex power (no wet lines).

• Before you install the iMcV-T1/E1/J1 modules you must verify the DIP switches

are configured for the feature wanted.

• Make sure you deploy the iMcV-T1/E1/J1 modules in pairs.

• Make sure the Remote Chassis is not managed.

NOTE

The iMcV-T1/E1/J1 modules are delivered pre-configured for standard T1
operation in Passive mode. To enable remote management you must move DIP
switch S2-2 to the “ON” position on the Remote module (refer to the DIP switch
diagram and table).

online help for more information.

Passive Mode

It is recommended that you use the default Passive mode configuration for most
typical applications. Passive mode allows the fiber segment to pass data unchanged
between the T1/E1 segments independent of the actual line coding (AMI, B8ZS, or
HDB3). All errors and fault conditions from one T1/E1 end will pass through the fiber
to the other end as if there were one long T1/E1 connection.
