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.
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.
Configuration Control had three goals when it was created: 1. Any type of module or Management Module, could be swapped out under power with out losing any configuration. 2. The Management Module can be added to a chassis without losing any configuration. 3. The Management Module should not be subjected to failure or interruption in a “Mission Critical” environment. If the Management Module is removed or fail, the modules should not experience an interruption in service.
Inserting a Management Module - Without Configuration Control • - Modules in an unmanaged chassis use DIP Switch settings. When the Management Module is inserted, the modules use the configuration stored in the Management Module. This will more then likely change the configuration of the modules, and will cause a short interruption in data flowing through the modules. With Configuration Control • The modules copy their configuration up to the Management Module.
Unmanaged Modules Before installing, configure the iMcV-10G-Converter modules for desired features. The DIP Switch settings enable the end user to select the speed/protocol, loopback modes and Loss Carry Forward (LCF). The table below indicates the available features and settings for the iMcV-10G-Converter modules.
Loss Carry Forward (LCF) When a fault is detected on the incoming optical line that would severely affect the quality of the corresponding output optical signal, this signal is turned OFF as opposed to sending a bad optical signal to the next unit over the optical line. The Loss Carry Forward function provides a very positive fault indication to the downstream unit. If the LCF function is not enabled, the transmitted optical signal is dependent on the XFP units installed.
LED Operation Each iMcV-10G-Converter features diagnostic LEDs that provide information on features and ports. Name Color Function FLT Yellow ON When a DDMI fault is detected LOS Red ON when the Optical LINK is good LCF Green ON when no link is detected LB Yellow ON when Loopback is enabled and “Blinks” if the XFP can’t support this function when it has been requested.

Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles of dirt or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation. Good system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules. 1. Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only from a reputable supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose problems in an installation. 2.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to any product, add-in modules or stand alone units, containing electronic components. Always observe the following precautions when installing or handling these kinds of products 1. Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until ready to install. 2. Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component.
