Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures. Injury Precautions • Use Proper Power Cord with Panduit Adapter. To avoid fire hazard, use only the power cord specified for this product. • Avoid Electric Overload. To avoid injury or fire hazard, do not apply potential to any input, including the common inputs that vary from ground by more than the maximum rating for that input.
Page 10: Section 1 - Pviq™ Connectivity System Overview
Overview PViQ™ Connectivity Hardware The Panduit PViQ™ Connectivity Hardware System consists of a patch field and intelligent modules. The patch panels/trays have 24 data ports and occupy 1 Rack Unit (RU) space in a standard rack or cabinet. The intelligent modules are removeable modules that plug into the back of the patch field panels/trays, eliminating the need for additional RU space for the intelligent connectivity system.
Page 11: Intelligent Modules
Figure 2: Angled PViQ™ Connectivity Patch Panel (without data connectors) PViQ™ Connectivity Fiber Tray On the Fiber Tray, intelligent modules are accessed from the back of the unit. The Fiber Tray is available as pre-terminated or field terminated. The tray is available in single mode or multimode with LC type data connections or MPO type data connections.
Page 12 Figure 4: PViQ™ Connectivity Panel Manager (with mounting bracket, patch cord and interface unit) The PM is a removable module that provides scanning and management capabilities for patch panels or fiber trays. The PM includes LAN connectors for daisy chaining multiple PMs.

Patch Cords and Cables Enabling the full potential of the PViQ™ Connectivity System requires specific patch cords and cables. Standard Shielded Patch Cord A standard shielded patch cord connects one PM to another PM. Thirty PMs may be connected together and connected back to one Ethernet LAN port. A 0.5M patch cord is provided with every PM.

Appendix A: PViQ™ Connectivity Hardware Installation Hardware Installation Overview This appendix describes the steps and procedures for installing the PViQ™ Connectivity Hardware. Also refer to the installation instructions that are included in the hardware packaging. This list below represents the components that make up a maximized PViQ™ Connectivity System: •...
Page 119: Panel/Tray Mounting And Grounding
Panel/Tray Mounting and Grounding The first step in the PViQ™ Connectivity System Hardware installation procedure is to connect the patch panels or fiber trays to the rack. This installation includes four 24-port panels – one for the Panel Manager (PM) and three for the Expansion Modules (EMs). PViQ™...
Page 120: Jack Module Installation
Figure 93: PViQ™ Connectivity Panel Installation NOTE: The provided screws must be used to guarantee a good ground connection between panels/trays for proper operation of the PViQ™ Connectivity System. Figure 94: Alternate Acceptable Mounting Screws Jack Module Installation After the PViQ™ Connectivity Panel is secured to the rack or cabinet, the next step is to install terminated jack modules into the patch panel.
Page 121: Installing The Interface Units
If sufficient slack cable is available, the terminated Mini-Com Jack Modules can be installed into the PViQ™ Connectivity Panel prior to permanently mounting into the rack. This will allow for flexibility and provide easier access to the panels. NOTE: The PViQ™ Connectivity Panel accepts all Mini-Com Copper Modules. Figure 95: Side View of Jack Installation Installing the Interface Units The next step is to install the Interface Units (IUs) on the individual panels.
Page 122: Installing The Mounting Bracket
Figure 97: Installing the PM/EM UI It is important to install the correct Interface Unit on the correct patch panel. The Patch Panel that houses the Panel Manager requires an IU with an RJ45 interface jack (provisioning port) located on it. The panels for the Expansion Modules will receive IUs that do not have this Provisioning Port.
Page 123 NOTE: Standard Fiber Trays do not require Mounting Brackets. 1. Locate the mounting bracket on the center of the PViQ™ Connectivity Panel. Figure 100: Mounting Bracket, step 1 2. Pivot the bracket until the tabs on the patch panel rest inside the slots of the mounting bracket.
Page 124 4. Secure the bracket to the patch panel using a Phillips-head screwdriver to push in and turn the securing screw. Figure 103: Mounting Bracket, step 4 Installing the Intelligent Modules With the mounting brackets securely in place, the next step is to install the Intelligent Modules: •...
Page 125 Figure 104: Inserting Module into Mounting Bracket The latch on the bottom of the PM or EM will snap into the slot on the bracket, and an audible “click” should be heard.

Page 154 Appendix G: Interacting with the PViQ™ Connectivity System Interface Units PViQ™ Connectivity System Interface Unit (IU) Overview The PViQ™ Connectivity System has several standard operating modes. These various modes may be accessed through unique combinations of key presses using the Function Keys (the Confirmation Key and Next Key), or through the Web UI.
Page 155 Entering Secure Mode Secure Mode is the default mode after initial power up. It is also the mode to which the system typically returns after resets or following the completion of activities initiated by other modes. Entering Trace Mode To enter Trace Mode: Press and hold the left Function Key of the IU for approximately 2 seconds.
Page 156 Entering Maintenance Mode To Initialize Ports on the PViQ™ Connectivity System in Maintenance Mode: Press and hold both Function Keys on the PM Interface Unit for about 5 seconds. NOTE: Only the PM panel/tray can initiate Maintenance Mode for the PViQ™ Connectivity System.
Page 157 The Maintenance Mode has a default 30-minute time limit before it will exit. Five minutes before this time limit is reached, the panel will begin producing 2 short beeps every 5 seconds, serving as a pre-timeout warning. At any point after these warnings begin, the Maintenance Mode time can be extended for an additional 30 minutes by pressing and releasing the left Function Key, acknowledged by a beep to confirm the request.
Page 158 Performing a Maintenance Mode Reset With the panel in Maintenance Mode Press and hold both Function Keys on the PM Interface Unit. Result: The panel will move through each level of the resets at approximately 5 second intervals. At the end of the initial 5 seconds, the panel will produce a Level 1 reset indication.
