Installing A Mcbasic-Gigabit - IMC Networks McBasic-Gigabit Operation Manual

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.
Since single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two
different wavelengths, you must deploy single-strand fiber products in pairs, or
connect two compatible IMC Networks single-strand fiber products. For example,
connect McBasic-Gigabit, TX/SSFX-SM1310-SC (which has 1310 xmt and 1550 rcv) to
a product which has 1550 xmt and 1310 rcv, e.g. McGigabit, TX/SSFX-SM1550-SC.
The two connected products must also have the same speed and distance capabilities
(i.e. both are single-mode [20 km] or both are single/PLUS [40 km]).
AutoCross Feature for Twisted Pair Connection
All twisted pair ports on the iMcV-FiberLinX-II include AutoCross, a feature that
automatically selects between a crossover workstation and a straight-through
connection depending on the connected device.
