About the iMcV-Modules iMcV-Modules are SNMP-manageable and install in the modular, SNMP-manageable iMediaChassis series in the unmanaged MediaChassis series. The following media conversion and fiber mode conversion iMcV Modules are described in this manual: iMcV-PIM Ethernet module providing a single conversion between 10Base-T twisted pair and 10Base-FL single-mode or multi-mode fiber. Each iMcV-PIM includes one RJ-45 connector and one pair of ST or SC fiber optic connectors.
LED Operation Each iMcV-Module features diagnostic LEDs that provide information on features and ports. LEDs on iMcV-PIM (-10) The LED functions are as follows: PWR Glows green when unit has power. LNK (RJ-45) Glows green if link is established on the twisted pair port (located on RJ-45). ACT (RJ-45) Glows amber when data is being passed on the twisted pair (located on RJ-45). LNK Glows green when link is established on the fiber port. ACT Glows green if data is being passed on the fiber port.
LEDs on iMcV-LIM The LED functions are as follows: LL Glows green when FX LinkLoss is enabled. LNK Glows green when a link is established on the port. XMT Blinks green when port is transmitting data. RCV Blinks yellow when port is receiving data. FA* Glows green when FiberAlert is enabled. *FiberAlert is not available/applicable on single-strand versions of iMcV-LIM. LEDs on iMcV-S2MM/S2SM/M2MM The LED functions on iMcV-S2MM/S2SM/M2MM are as follows: ENA Glows green when port is enabled.
Configuration Instructions Many iMcV-Modules have user-configurable features (e.g., FiberAlert, LinkLoss, Auto Negotiation, etc.). Refer to the chart for information on available features on each module. Instructions for configuring both managed (via an SNMP-compatible management application such as iView²) and unmanaged modules follow. Managed Modules To manage one or more iMcV-Modules, an SNMP agent must be present in the chassis.
iMcV-PIM TP/FO -10 Board iMcV-LIM TX/FX and TX/SSFX -30 Board About LinkLoss, FiberAlert, and Pulsing FiberAlert Some iMcV-Modules include advanced troubleshooting features that help locate silent failures on the network.
• FO/FX LinkLoss (a.k.a. Fiber LinkLoss or LinkLoss) • TP/TX LinkLoss (a.k.a. Twisted Pair LinkLoss or Reverse LinkLoss) • FiberAlert • Pulsing FiberAlert It is important to understand how FiberAlert and LinkLoss work, and how they will react in a specific network configuration, before attempting to install the enclosed module(s).
FiberAlert FiberAlert minimizes the problems associated with the loss of one strand of fiber. If a strand is unavailable, the IMC Networks device at the receiver end notes the loss of link. The device will then stop transmitting data and the link signal until a signal or link pulse is received. The result is that the link LED on BOTH sides of the fiber connection will go out indicating a fault somewhere in the fiber loop.
If unsure of how best to implement these features in a specific configuration, please contact IMC Networks technical support at (800) 624-1070 (U.S./Canada), +32-16550880 (Europe) or via e-mail at: techsupport@imcnetworks.
Configure Auto Negotiation on an iMcV-LIM by adjusting the DIP Switch setting (for unmanaged modules) or via the management software. Refer to the diagrams in this manual for switch location and settings. Installation Troubleshooting During installation, first 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.

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.
