Configuring the iMcV-PSE-MidSpan with iView²

The PSE-MidSpan, when installed in a managed chassis, is configurable through iView² software. To configure the PSE-MidSpan, open the iView2 software and select the chassis in which the PSE-MidSpan has been installed. When Auto Discovery detects the chassis and identifies the PSE-MidSpan, select it to configure or monitor the modules. Software settings always override hardware settings, so DIP Switch settings should be set to match the configuration in the Graphic User Interface (GUI).

The screen that appears will show the PSE-MidSpan’s LEDs and settings. The LEDs appear on the left, showing the LEDs as they are displayed on the PSE-MidSpan. The settings, on the right, appear as follows:

Module Number This displays the slot number in which the PSE-MidSpan has been installed.

Module Type This space displays the type of module inserted in this slot. The PSE-MidSpan will appear with the name “iMcV MidSpan”.

Data Port

POE Data Port

Use this field to enter a name for the device connected to the Data Port. Click the Save Changes button to save this name.

Enter a name for the device connected to this port in the Description field. Then, enable or disable the POE function from the drop-down menu beneath. Click the Save Changes button to save this information to iView².

Installation Troubleshooting

0 (Zero) Current LED will glow red when the PSE module is either not connected to a PD device or an over current condition occurs. Be sure the iMcV-MidSpan is connected to a valid PD device.

In a 20-slot iMediaChassis-AC, the number of modules cannot exceed 11. Overloading the chassis with more than 11 can overload and possibly damage the chassis.
