receiving a fiber link, FiberAlert disables the media converter's fiber transmitter, thus mirroring the link status of the opposite end of the fiber. Both fiber link LEDs on either side of the devices should extinguish, alerting you to the fault.

NOTE: FiberAlert should only be activated on one side of a media conversion.

More information on FiberAlert can be found on the IMC Networks Web site at www.imcnetworks.com/to-fa.htm.

Installing a FiberLinX Module

Once you configure a FiberLinX Module, it is ready to be installed in a chassis. You can install a FiberLinX Module into any IMC Networks’ PowerChassis/100-Series chassis (e.g., PowerChassis/101, etc.). FiberLinX Modules may be safely installed or removed with power on (i.e., FiberLinX Modules are “hot-swappable”). Please read the electrostatic discharge precautions on page 5.1 of this manual before proceeding

NOTE: FiberLinX Modules should be installed into a PowerChassis only AFTER the PowerChassis has been installed. Please see the installation guide included with your chassis for assistance in installing the chassis.

PowerChassis come with blank brackets covering the slots where the modules are to be installed. To install a FiberLinX Module, remove the blank bracket by loosening the screws located on the outside edges of the bracket. Slide the FiberLinX Module into the chassis until the module is seated securely in the connector. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screws.
