IMC Networks IE-IMCV-T1-MUX/4 Installation Instructions, Small Form-Factor Pluggable Ports SFP

Installation Instructions

Each IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet module requires two slots in an iMedia Chassis Series, MediaChassis/2 Series, or IE-MediaChassis/2 series. To install the module in a chassis, remove the blank faceplates covering the slots where the module is to be installed. Then slide the module into the chassis card guides until the module is seated securely in the slots. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw.

All IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet units are shipped from the factory configured as Host units. The IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet modules must be installed in pairs. For two IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet units to properly operate together one unit needs to be configured as a Remote. Configuration as a Host or Remote is controlled via a DIP Switch setting (S1-1).

Small Form-Factor Pluggable Ports (SFP)

The fiber link on the IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet module is supported through one or two SFPs (depending on the model) running at 155Mbps. Many SFPs, including those from IMC Networks, feature enhanced diagnostics capabilities Data and Diagnostic Management Information (DDMI). DDMI statistics provide real-time access to transceiver operating parameters such as voltage, temperature, laser bias current, and both transmitted and received optical power. DDMI information can be accessed in iView2. Any MSA-compliant SFP, 155mbps, can be installed in one or both SFP ports (model specific).

AutoCross Feature

The 10/100BaseT Ethernet port on the IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet includes an AutoCross feature that automatically selects between a crossover workstation and a straight-through connection depending on the connected device.
