Configuring The Pse-Mcbasic; Linkloss And Fiberalert - IMC Networks PSE-McBasic Operation Manual

single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two different
wavelengths, deploy single-strand fiber products in pairs, or connect two
compatible IMC Networks single-strand fiber products. For example, connect a
PSE-McBasic, TX/SSFX-SM1310-SC (which has 1310 xmt and 1550 rcv) to a
product which has 1550 xmt and 1310 rcv, e.g. an iMcV-LIM, TX/SSFX-SM1550-
SC. The two connected products must also have the same speed and distance
capabilities (i.e. both are single-mode [20km] or both are single/PLUS [40km]).

Configuring the PSE-McBasic

The PSE-McBasic features an 8-position DIP Switches, set after installation. Access
these through a cut-out in the bottom of the unit. After configuring the DIP Switches,
power cycle the PSE-McBasic for the changes to take effect. Default settings for the
following features are shown to the right.
•
Pulse (Pulsing FiberAlert)
•
PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment)
•
TX LL (TX LinkLoss)
•
FX LL (FX LinkLoss)
•
Auto Negotiation
•
FA (FiberAlert)
Some switches are reserved for future development.

LinkLoss and FiberAlert

PSE-McBasic includes the troubleshooting features FiberAlert, TXLL and FXLL that
help locate silent failures on a network. Before attempting to install the module(s),
understand how these features work and react to specific network configurations.
Installing modules without understanding the effects of LinkLoss and FiberAlert can
cause functioning units to appear flawed or even non functional.
