Instruction manual

The twisted pair port on the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX includes AutoCross, a feature
that automatically selects between a crossover workstation or pass-through
connection depending on the connected device.
Installing iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX Modules
The iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX installs in any IMC Networks’ chassis, each requiring
one slot.
To install an iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX module:
Step Action
1 Remove the blank brackets covering the slots where the module is to be
installed (if present) by removing the screws on the outside edges of the
bracket.
2 Slide the module into the chassis via the card guides 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 should the
configuration requirements change.
Installation Troubleshooting
• During installation, test the fiber and twisted pair connections with all
troubleshooting features disabled. If desired, enable these features just
before installation. This will reduce the features’ interference with
testing.
• Any testing of the module should be performed in an unmanaged
environment. Either test in an unmanaged chassis or disable
management in a managed chassis, where possible.
• LNK LEDs only function after both twisted pair and fiber connections
are established.
• If using a high powered device (for long distance installations) for a short
distance installation, the fiber transmitters may overdrive the receivers
and cause data loss. In such a case, add an optical attenuator to the
connection.
