IE-iMcV-2xLIM FCC RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
IE-iMcV-2xLIM ABOUT THE IE-IMCV-2XLIM The IE-iMcV-2xLIM, TX/SFP is a Fast Ethernet module that provides two conversions of 100Base-TX twisted pair to 100Base-FX/SX single-mode or multi- mode fiber. There are two sets of ports, each providing an RJ-45 (copper) to SFP (fiber) an SFP,155 Mbps, can be installed in the SFP port.
IE-iMcV-2xLIM INSTALLING THE IE-IMCV-2XLIM The iMcV-2xLIM module installs in B+B SmartWorx’ SNMP manageable iMediaChassis series or in any MediaChassis. To install iMcV-2xLIM modules: 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 modules into the chassis, via the card guides, until the module is seated securely in the connector.
IE-iMcV-2xLIM and the iMcV-module is configured by the chassis’ management module. If the SNMP management module is removed or fails, the iMcV-modules will revert back to the DIP Switch settings. When an iMcV-module configuration changes from the management module’s settings to DIP Switch settings, the traffic across the iMcV-module will be interrupted for a very short period of time.

IE-iMcV-2xLIM FX LINKLOSS, TX LINKLOSS, LINK FAULT PASS- THROUGH, FAR END FAULT IE-iMcV-2xLIM, TX/SFP modules include the troubleshooting features: TXLL, FXLL, FEF and LFPT that help locate silent failures on a network. Before attempting to install the module(s), it is advised to understand how these features work and react to a specific network configuration.
IE-iMcV-2xLIM LINK FAULT PASS-THROUGH (LFPT) Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) is a troubleshooting feature that combines TX and FX LinkLoss from both the local and remote IE-iMcV-2xLIM, TX/SFP modules. LFPT is enabled by turning on both FX and TX LinkLoss on both modules.
IE-iMcV-2xLIM End-to-End Connection Switch TX/FX Half-duplex Configure HDX manually. Auto Negotiation is Off. Full-duplex Configure FDX manually. Auto Negotiation is Off. Full-duplex Auto Negotiation is On. Auto Negotiation is On. Configure Auto Negotiation on an IE-iMcV-2xLIM, TX/SFP by adjusting the DIP Switch setting (for unmanaged modules) or via the management software.
IE-iMcV-2xLIM LED OPERATION The IE-iMcV-2xLIM, TX/SFP module features diagnostic LEDs that provide information on features and ports: FXLL Glows green when FX LinkLoss is enabled on the port. Blinks when a fault occurs on the fiber port and actively disables the copper port. TXLL Glows green when TX LinkLoss is enabled on the port.
IE-iMcV-2xLIM INSTALLATION TROUBLESHOOTING • During installation, first test the fiber and twisted pair connections with all troubleshooting features disabled, then enable these features, if desired, just before final installation. This will reduce the features’ interference with testing. • To test a IE-iMcV-2xLIM, TX/SFP by itself, first have an appropriate fiber patch cable, then follow these steps to test: Connect the IE-iMcV-2xLIM, TX/SFP to the twisted pair device with a twisted pair cable.
IE-iMcV-2xLIM FIBER OPTIC CLEANING GUIDELINES Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles of dirt or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation. Good system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules. Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only from a reputable supplier;...
