McBasic-Gigabit has user-configurable features located on the PCB board. Please refer to the board diagram and the table for available features. To access the McBasic-Gigabit board for configuration, loosen the two screws on the front of the unit. Slide the board out of the enclosure (faceplate is attached).
The appropriate “LNK” (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.
TX LinkLoss (TXLL) TX LinkLoss is a troubleshooting feature. When a fault occurs on the twisted pair segment of a conversion, TX LinkLoss detects the fault and passes this information to the fiber segment. If a media converter is not receiving a twisted pair link, TX LinkLoss disables the transmitter on the media converter's fiber port.
Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) is a troubleshooting feature that combines TX and FX LinkLoss from both the local and remote McBasic-Gigabit modules. LFPT is enabled by turning on both FX and TX LinkLoss on both modules. This feature allows either end of the conversion to detect a link fault occurring at the other end of the media conversion chain.
If the device being connected to the McBasic-Gigabit module does not support Auto-Negotiation, disabling the feature on the McBasic-Gigabit module forces the link up. DIP Switch settings for FX AN: DIP Switch...
Installing a McBasic-Gigabit To install McBasic-Gigabit, first make sure that the unit is placed on a suitable flat surface. Attach the cables between the McBasic Gigabit and each device that will be interconnected and then plug the unit into a reliable, filtered power source.
LED Operation Each McBasic-Gigabit Converter features diagnostic LEDs that provide information on features and ports. Glows green when a twisted pair link is established. Blinks green when data is LNK/ACT detected on the port. Located on RJ-45 connector. Glows amber when port is operating in Full-Duplex Mode on the RJ-45 connector.
If this is the case, an optical attenuator may need to be added to the connection. For fiber specifications, visit the IMC Networks Web site at: www.imcnetworks.com/adocs/fcs.asp or contact IMC Networks for more information.
