About the PSE-McBasic The PSE-McBasic functions as a fiber-to-twisted pair media converter, as well as a 802.3af-compliant, Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), delivering power to a Powered Device (PD) through the UTP data cable. Deploying a PSE-McBasic media converter supporting the Power over Ethernet standard is the solution for both extending the access point from the network core as well as powering the end-device at the access point. The PSE-McBasic is fully compliant with IEEE 802.
single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two different wavelengths, deploy single-strand fiber products in pairs, or connect two compatible IMC Networks single-strand fiber products. For example, connect a PSE-McBasic, TX/SSFX-SM1310-SC (which has 1310 xmt and 1550 rcv) to a product which has 1550 xmt and 1310 rcv, e.g. an iMcV-LIM, TX/SSFX-SM1550SC. The two connected products must also have the same speed and distance capabilities (i.e.
Link Integrity During normal operation, link integrity pulses are transmitted by all point-to-point Ethernet devices. When an IMC Networks media converter receives valid link pulses, it knows that the device to which it is connected is up and sending pulses, and that the copper or fiber cable coming from that device is intact. The appropriate “LNK” (link) LED is lit to indicate this.
**WARNING** Enable FiberAlert on one side of a media conversion only. Enabling it on both sides would keep both transmitters off indefinitely. Using FiberAlert and LinkLoss Modules ship from the factory with troubleshooting features disabled. Refer to the help file to enable/disable this feature. Pulsing FiberAlert Pulsing 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.

End-to-End Connection Half-Duplex Switch Configure HDX manually TX/FX Auto Negotiation is OFF Full-Duplex Configure FDX manually Auto Negotiation is OFF Full-Duplex Auto Negotiation is ON Auto Negotiation is ON Configure Auto Negotiation on a PSE-McBasic by adjusting the DIP Switch setting (for unmanaged modules) or via the management software. Refer to the DIP Switch table for switch location and settings.
About the LED Indicators The PSE-McBasic features multiple diagnostic LEDs. The diagram below shows the location of the LEDs. The LED functions are: LNK/ACT Glows red when no device is connected to the PSE-McBasic or when the device is NOT a valid PD. The LED is off when the PSE-McBasic detects a valid PD. ZERO CRNT Glows red when no device is connected to the PSE-McBasic or when the device is NOT a valid PD. The LED is off when the PSE-McBasic detects a valid PD.
NOTE FiberAlert will not function when single-strand fiber is connected. 4W Glows green when Powered Device consumes 3.84 watts to 4 watts of power (CLASS1 PD). 7W Glows green when Powered Device consumes 6.49 watts to 7 watts of power (CLASS2 PD). 15.4W Glows green when Powered Device consumes 12.95 watts to 15.4 watts of power (CLASS0 PD). FX LNK/ACT Glows green when a link is established on the fiber port and blinks when activity is detected on the port.
Installation Troubleshooting To test the PSE-McBasic 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. When working with units whose features cannot be disabled, both twisted pair and fiber cables must be connected before the link LEDs will light.

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.
