About the iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater
The iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater chassis mounted media conversion module allows the
end user to extend the distances between T1, J1, and E1 copper telephony systems
by adding a fiber segment. The distances can support up to 100km depending on
the module used and the fiber type available.
Installation
At the central location the iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater unit is typically installed in a
managed chassis such as the iMediaChassis or the MediaChassis series.
NOTES
Chassis are also available in Industrial Ethernet (IE) configurations.
It is not recommended that the iMcV-T1/E1/J1 module be installed in an 850-33100. The
power source in this chassis is not isolated, and cannot support positive reference ground
systems typically used in Telco environments.
The MediaChassis/2-DC and the iMediaChassis/6-DC are suitable alternatives.
Each module requires one slot in the chassis. To install a module, 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. Slide the module into the
chassis, via the card guides, until the module is seated securely in the connector.
Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw. Save any “blanks”
removed during installation for future use should the configuration requirements
change.
Crossover/Straight-Through Connection
iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater comes with an RJ-48 UTP connector that features a push-
button switch, located next to the port, for selecting a crossover or straight-through
connection. To select a cross-over connection, press the push-button IN. A straight-
through connection is selected when the push-button is OUT. When unsure what
type of connection is needed, set the push button to the position that turns the NO
LNK LED off.
