IMC Networks iMcV-LIM

About the iMcV-LIM

The iMcV-LIM is a Fast Ethernet module which provides a single conversion between

100Base-TX twisted pair and 100Base-FX/SX single-mode or multi-mode fiber. Each

iMcV-LIM includes one RJ-45 connector and one pair of ST or SC fiber optic

connectors, and/or an SFP port, which can support any fiber type. Models with

Configuration Control are identified by a label on the faceplate of the module.

Also available in a single-strand fiber version, iMcV-LIM TX/SSFX and iMcV-LIM

TX/SFP with Configuration Control allow two wavelengths to share one fiber strand —

Full-Duplex data travels on different wavelengths, for example (1310 nm and 1550

nm) — doubling the capacity of fiber.

The iMcV-LIM is SNMP-manageable and can be installed into the modular,

SNMP-manageable iMediaChassis, as well as the MediaChassis series, which are

unmanaged.

Configuration Instructions

The iMcV-LIM has user-configurable features (e.g., FiberAlert (FA), TX LinkLoss

(TXLL), FX LinkLoss (FXLL), Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) and Far End Fault ( FEF)).

Refer to the iMcV-Module DIP Switch configuration table for information on available

features. Instructions for configuring both managed (via an SNMP-compatible

management application like iView²) and unmanaged modules follow.

Installing an iMcV-Modules

The iMcV-Modules install in IMC Networks’ SNMP manageable iMediaChassis series

or in any MediaChassis.

NOTE

All modules are hot-swappable.

To install an iMcV-Module:

Remove the blank bracket covering the slot where the module is to be installed

by removing the screws on the outside edges of the bracket.

Slide the iMcV-Modules into the chassis, via the cardguides, until the module is

seated securely in the connector.

Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw.

Save any “blanks” removed during installation for future use if the configuration

requirements change.
