IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet ABOUT T H E IE-IMCV-T1-MUX/4+ETHERNET The IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet is a media converter that transports four independent T1 lines over an existing single (or dual, “1+1”) standard fiber optic line operating at an effective rate of 155Mbps. One serial link (RS-232) and one Ethernet (10/100BaseT) connection are multiplexed onto the fiber link(s).
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet FEATURES IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet offers the following features: • Four T1 ports with RJ-48 connectors • One full bandwidth Ethernet 10/100BaseT port • 1+1 protection switching via two SFP-based optical ports • DDMI supported on SFP ports • One end-to-end serial RS-232 port on RJ-45 connector; supports up to 120K baud rate •...
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet MANAGED MODULES The IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet modules are installed as a Host/Remote pair; the fiber connection is B+B proprietary. Host or Remote configuration is selected by an onboard DIP Switch setting. The Host/Remote pair can be remotely managed when the HOST is installed in an iMediaChassis with an SNMP Management Module.
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet there is a mixture of iMcV modules, with and without Configuration Control, the Write Lock Switch and a new SNMP Management Module must be taken into consideration. If the command cleandb is applied to an SNMP Management Module, all the settings for the modules will be removed;...
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet SERIAL PORT CONNECTION The IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet includes a console serial port. To establish a link between a module's console port and a local PC, connect the Mini Jack to DB9 adapter (optional accessory available through B+B SmartWorx, part number 825-39950). This RS-232 serial connection provides access to the IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet module CLI configuration screens.
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet LED OPERATION The IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet features diagnostic LEDs as explained below. 10/100BASET CONNECTOR LNK: • OFF when port is not linked/connected. • Glows green when link is established. • Blinks green during data activity. FDX: • OFF when port is not connected or when running at half-duplex.
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet SFP PORTS One model offers two SFP (A and B) ports for 1+1 protection; a second model offers one SFP without protection. ACT: • Glows green when the SFP port is the active receive line. • OFF when the SFP is not the receive line. •...
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet DIP SWITCH ASSIGNMENTS A single 10-position DIP Switch is located on the unit to set configuration. The switch positions are as follows: Switch # Function Settings Factory Default Host/Remote OFF = Host, ON = Remote Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved...
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.
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.
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet that the cable coming from that device is intact. The appropriate “LNK” (link) LED is lit to indicate this. However, these signals are not normally transmitted across a normal store-and-forward Ethernet bridge function. A failed Ethernet line on one end of the fiber link is not forwarded to the Ethernet port at the other end of the optical transport.
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet ALARM CONDITIONS • Last gasp (remote lost power) • T1 Port Up • T1 Port LOS • Fiber port Up / LOS • SFP removed/installed • Service state change LOOPBACK Each T1 port can be tested in loopback mode by enabling either a Host loopback or Remote loopback test path.
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet CONSOLE SCREENS CONFIGURATION USING THE CONSOLE PORT The following section describes configuration using the console screens. The Remote module is only configured through the Host. LOGIN SCREEN After running through an initial self test, the log-in screen is displayed. (The diagnostic information displayed below is for illustration purposes only and may differ from the actual screen display.) The username is case sensitive with a maximum length of 16 characters.
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet MAIN MENU From the main menu, the end-user can view essential unit configuration data and a clock indicating when the displayed information was last refreshed. Menu Options 1 = Refer to the Unit Configuration Screen. 2 = Refer to the Port Alarm Status screen. 3 = Refer to the SFP Line Status screen;...
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet UNIT CONFIGURATION SCREEN The unit configuration screen displays the names of the Host and Remote units as well as the service state, whether fiber protection is enabled and the SFP BER alarm level. In addition, the unit time can be set from this screen and the username and password can be set/reset.
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet PORT ALARM STATUS SCREEN The Port Alarm Status screen displays the status of the Host and Remote alarms on each of the unit's ports. This screen can be refreshed, as needed, to display current data.
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet SFP LINE STATUS SCREEN The SFP Line Status screen displays the status of the Host and Remote SFP links. Detailed SFP information may be viewed by entering "1" for SFP A,, or "2" for SFP B. Displayed data includes the manufacturer name, code, part number and revision number.
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet ETHERNET PORT STATUS SCREEN This screen displays the current Ethernet port status for both the Host and Remote site. T1 PORT CONFIGURATION SCREEN Use this screen to access the loopback and name details for each of the four T1 ports. Enter the number of the menu item to edit, and enter the new value(s) when prompted.
IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4+Ethernet HOST T1 PORT SETUP SCREEN Enter the number of the menu item to edit, and enter the new value(s) when prompted. T1 PORT STATUS SCREEN Use this screen to display the current status for each of the four T1 ports for the Host and Remote units.
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).
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.
