Page 5: About The Modular Media Converters
About the Modular Media Converters The Modular Media Converter Series includes modules that convert copper to single- mode or multi-mode fiber at Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit speeds. Modular Media Converter series chassis provide power to media converter modules, and are available with one, four, eight or twelve slots for installing any combination of McPIMs (10Mbps Ethernet), McLIMs (100 Mbps Fast Ethernet), McLIM TP-TX/FX (Switching 10/100 Mbps) and McGigabit modules (1.25 Gbps Ethernet). -
Page 6: About Mclims
About McLIMs McLIMs (Media Converter Link Interface Modules) are 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet modules which provide a single-conversion between 100Base-TX twisted pair and 100Base-FX (McLIM TX/FX) or 100Base-SX (McLIM TX/SX) fiber and support Half or Full-Duplex. McLIM TP-TX/FX is an Auto Negotiating, switching media converter which offers plug-and-play operation to convert 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, Half-or-Full-Duplex twisted pair to 100Base-FX, Full-Duplex fiber. - Page 7 Board Diagrams and Jumper/Switch Settings NOTE To determine which board diagram matches the module (-20, -30, -40, -50, etc.), compare the jumper locations with the diagrams found above. 10/100 Switching modules and Gigabit modules sets do not require any configuration and are not shown above.

- Page 9 Twisted Pair Crossover/Straight-Through Connections Whether using crossover or straight-through CAT5 twisted pair cabling, all Switching Modules will support both types of connections by one of the following methods: AutoCross McLIM TX/FX (-00) and McGigabit include AutoCross, a feature that automatically selects between a crossover workstation or straight-through connection depending on the connected device.

Page 10: Linkloss, Fiberalert And Link Fault Pass-Through
LinkLoss, FiberAlert and Link Fault Pass-Through McPIM TP/FO and McLIM TX/FX and TX/SX include the following features: • FO/FX LinkLoss (a.k.a. "Fiber LinkLoss" or "LinkLoss") • TP/TX LinkLoss (a.k.a. "Twisted Pair LinkLoss” or "Reverse LinkLoss”) • FiberAlert and Pulsing FiberAlert FiberAlert and LinkLoss are advanced troubleshooting features that can help you locate "silent failures"... - Page 11 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.

Page 12: Link Fault Pass Through
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 then stop transmitting data and the link signal until a signal or link pulse is received. - Page 13 Pulsing FiberAlert Pulsing FiberAlert minimizes the problems associated with the loss of one strand of fiber. If a strand is unavailable, the device at the receiver end notes the loss of link. The device will stop transmitting data and start sending link pulses. Until a valid link is received, the fiber link LED will be OFF on the device on the receiver side of the fiber strand with the fault while the fiber Link LED on the other unit will blink.

Page 15: Installing Media Conversion Modules
Since single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two different wavelengths, the single-strand fiber products must be deployed in pairs, or connect two compatible IMC Networks single-strand fiber products. For example, connect Compact Media Converter, TX/SSFX-SM1310-SC (which has 1310 xmt and 1550 rcv) to a product which has 1550 xmt and 1310 rcv, e.g. -
Page 16: Led Operation
Power Supply Installation When installing a redundant power supply module into a powered-on 12-Slot chassis, IMC Networks recommends setting the ON/OFF switch on the module (if present) to OFF. After installing the power supply, turn its switch ON. If the redundant power supply module does NOT have an ON/OFF switch, IMC Networks recommends powering-down the chassis before installing the power supply. - Page 17 LEDs on McPIM TP/FO (-10) The LED functions on McPIM TP/FO (-10) are as follows: FO LINK/ACT Glows green when link is established on the FO port; blinks green when activity is detected on the port. TP LINK/ACT Glows amber when link is established on the TP port; blinks amber when activity is detected on the port.

Page 19: Installation Troubleshooting
Use caution when conducting a loopback test; it is possible to create a network loop if connecting the twisted pair port to an active network switch. IMC Networks recommends connecting the twisted pair cable to a PC for this type of test. - Page 20 Rackmount Instructions Elevated If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating Operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than Ambient room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
