Instruction manual

Installation

To install the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II into a network environment, connect the proper

twisted-pair and fiber cables. In a standalone configuration, or if direct management

is desired, assign an IP Address to the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II after installation. Refer to

Assigning IP Information for information on assigning an IP Address.

NOTE

Since single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two different

wavelengths, single-strand fiber products must be deployed in pairs or connected with two

compatible IMC Networks single-strand fiber products. For example, connect IE-MiniFiberLinX-

II, TX/SSFX-SM1310-SC (which has 1310 xmt and 1550 rcv) to a product which has 1550 xmt

and 1310 rcv, e.g. iMcV-FiberLinX-II, TX/SSFX-SM1550-SC. The two connected products must

also have the same speed and distance capabilities (i.e. both are single-mode [20 km] or both

are single/PLUS [40 km]).

Autocross Feature for Twisted Pair Connection

All twisted pair ports on the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II include AutoCross, feature that

automatically selects between a crossover workstation and a straight-through

connection depending on the connected device.

Mini-Serial Port

Included with the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II is a serial port adapter for configuration.

A standard AC mini-jack on the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II provides a local RS-232, Craft

interface for management. A special mini-jack to DF-9F cable is provided for direct

connection to a PC serial port.

NOTE

To log on through the serial port, set the computer/terminal for VT-100 emulation, with; 38.4K

baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no FlowControl.

LED Operation

The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II features two diagnostic LEDs:

FX LNK/ACT This LED is on when a FX Link exists and blinks when data passes

through the fiber connection.

TX LNK/ACT This LED is on when a TX Link exists and blinks when data passes

through the twisted-pair connection.
