About the iMcV-Gigabit
The SNMP manageable iMcV-Gigabit module provides a single conversion between
1000 Base-T twisted pair and 1000 Base-SX/LX fiber. Each iMcV-Gigabit includes
one RJ-45 connector and one pair of SC fiber optic connectors. iMcV-Gigabit
modules install into any modular, SNMP manageable iMediaChassis, as well as the
MediaChassis series, which is unmanaged.
The iMcV-Gigabit is also available in a single-strand fiber version that allows two
wavelengths to share one fiber strand—Full-Duplex data travels on different
wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm)—doubling the capacity of fiber. Also, one RJ-
45 connector and one SC fiber connector are included.
NOTE
A
ll iMcV-Gigabit modules, including 1300 nm multi-mode and 1310 nm single-mode (TX/LX),
850 nm multi-mode fiber (TX/SX) and single-strand versions (TX/SSLX) will be referred to as
iMcV-Gigabit throughout this guide except where differences need to be indicated.
Configuration Instructions
iMcV-Gigabit Modules have user-configurable features. Refer to the matrix for
configuring both managed (via an SNMP compatible management application such as
iView²) and unmanaged iMcV-Gigabit modules.
Managed Modules
To manage one or more iMcV-Gigabit Modules, an SNMP agent must be present in
the chassis: The iMediaChassis series requires an SNMP Management Module. To
configure Managed Modules, install the module first, and then configure using the
management software. Refer to the iView² for MediaConverters online help file for
additional information.
NOTE
If the module is going to be managed via the software management, configuration settings
will override any hardware DIP Switch settings.
