    IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet 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.
  • Page 14: Configuration Options

    IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet CONFIGURATION OPTIONS The following sections describe the configurable features. From the CLI "Unit Configuration," use the "Factory Default" command to restore the unit's default settings in the CLI, under Unit Configuration. This restores the card's default configuration and resets the default username and password.

  • Page 24: Fiber Optic Port Verification

    IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet FIBER OPTIC PORT VERIFICATION As a troubleshooting aid, the fiber optic ports can be verified by placing a physical loopback optical line on the ports and verify LED behavior as shown: The ACT LED will arbitrarily be configured to either the A or B fiber line. The RAI LED is RED/GREEN indicating that there is something wrong at the far end of the fiber line (in this case, the remote unit is missing).
  • Page 25: T1 Port Verification

    IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet T1 PORT VERIFICATION By placing a physical loopback connection on the T1 port, a valid signal can be detected by each individual T1 port to verify its operation. Without the fiber looped, the ALARM LED for looped T1 port will show RED/GREEN indicating there is a problem at the far end of the fiber transport (In this case the far end unit is missing) and the STAT LED is RED because the fiber is in LOS.
