McBasic comes ready to install; configure after installation. To install McBasic, first make sure that the unit is placed on a suitable flat surface. Attach the cables between the McBasic and each device that will be interconnected, then plug the unit into a reliable, filtered power source.
Termination must be OFF (disabled). Termination is disabled when the switch is in the left position. If a thin Ethernet segment is to be terminated at the McBasic TP/BNC, attach the cable directly to the BNC connector and set the termination switch to ON (enabled –factory default) by moving the switch to the right position.

The appropriate “LINK” LED is lit to indicate this. The IMC Networks media converter also sends out link pulses from its copper and fiber transmitters, but normally has no way of knowing whether the cable to the other device is intact and the link pulses are reaching the other end.

Pulsing FiberAlert minimizes the problems associated with the loss of one strand of fiber. If a strand is unavailable, the IMC Networks device at the receiver end notes the loss of link. The device will stop transmitting data and start sending link pulses.
LED Operation Each McBasic features diagnostic LEDs. The following illustrations show the location of the LEDs, and other features, on McBasic TP/FO and McBasic TP/BNC. The LED functions for McBasic TP/FO are as follows: • TP LINK Glows green if link is established on the TX port.

• BNC RCV Flickers amber when BNC port is receiving data (On a -20 McBasic TP/BNC, the TP RCV and BNC RCV LEDs flicker at a rate proportional to the rate that the data is passing on the ports. Under low traffic conditions, the LEDs flicker...
Next Generation product. • When connecting the fiber port of a McBasic TP/FO to a 100 Mbps fiber port of the link partner or another media converter ,an unlabeled LED located at the top of the fiber LED stack will glow amber, indicating the presence of a configuration fault.
