About the iMcV-LIM 10/100 The iMcV-LIM is an SNMP-manageable, IEEE 802.3 single-conversion media conversion module which converts between: • 10Base-T twisted pair and 10Base-FL multi-mode or single-mode fiber, or • 100Base-TX twisted pair and 100Base-SX multi-mode fiber, 100Base-FX singlemode fiber or single-strand single-mode fiber. The iMcV-LIM requires one slot in an SNMP-manageable chassis or an unmanaged chassis from IMC Networks.
Managed Modules To manage one or more iMcV-LIM(s), an SNMP agent must be present in the chassis. To configure Managed Modules, install the module first, and then configure using the management software. NOTE Management software overrides any hardware settings (e.g., jumper, switch, etc.); a module must be configured so that it will be managed via the software. Until a module installed in a managed chassis is configured via the software, the module (and its LEDs) may not work properly.
Unmanaged Modules Before installing, configure the iMcV-LIM modules for desired features. Refer to table which indicates the available features and settings for the iMcV-LIM modules. After configuring the DIP Switches for the desired settings, install the module and connect the appropriate cables (refer to the Installating an iMcV-LIM 10/100 section for more information).
Dip Switch Feature Function Default S1 LFD Link fault detection available in forced mode only (S3 is ON) OFF S2 AN Auto Negotiation mode (plug-n-play) available when forced mode is disabled (S3 is OFF) ON S3 Force Force mode forces the module to operate at 10 or 100 Mbps as determined by S4 OFF S4 10/100 When ON, operates at 10 Mbps. OFF When OFF, operates at 100 Mbps.
Modes of Operation The iMcV-LIM allows for three modes of operation: • • • Auto Negotiation (AN) enabled by default Force 10 Force 100 The module should be configured for one of these modes. In Auto Negotiation mode, the module will optimally and automatically configure for speed (10 or 100 Mbps) depending on the capabilities of the end stations. To enable Auto Negotiation mode, set switch S2 to the ON position, with switches S3 and S4 in the OFF position.
Auto Negotiation When connecting two modules between two end stations (devices such as switches, hubs and repeaters), all devices should ideally support, and be utilizing, Auto Negotiation. While it is possible to have Auto Negotiating devices on one side of the media conversion and fixed (non-Auto Negotiating) devices on the other, link LEDs will react differently depending on where a link fault occurs.
LED Operation The iMcV-LIM features several diagnostic LEDs per port. The LED functions for the iMcV-LIM are Twisted Pair Port LNK Glows green when a twisted pair link is established. ACT Glows yellow when data is detected on the port. 100 Glows yellow when 100 Mbps data is detected on the port. LFD Glows green when Link Fault Detection is enabled. AN Glows green when Auto Negotiation mode is enabled. PWR Glows green when unit has power.
Installation Troubleshooting • During installation, test the fiber and twisted pair connections with all troubleshooting features disabled, then enable these features, if desired, just before final installation. This will reduce the features’ interference with testing. • LEDs will only function after both twisted pair and fiber are connected.

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.
