    SNMP manageable iMediaChassis, as well as the MediaChassis series, which is unmanaged. The iMcV-MediaLinX is also available in a single-strand fiber version that allows two wavelengths to share one fiber strand—Full-Duplex data travels on different wavelengths;...
  • Page 5: Managed Modules

    Managed Modules To manage one or more iMcV-MediaLinX Modules, an SNMP agent must be present in the chassis: The iMediaChassis series requires an SNMP Management Module. To configure Managed Modules, install the module first, and then configure using the management software. All fiber type information is now loaded into a NVRAM during manufacturing.

    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...
  • Page 7: Link Fault Pass-Through (Lfpt)

    Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) is a troubleshooting feature that combines TX and FX LinkLoss from both the local and remote iMcV-MediaLinX 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.
  • Page 8 For example if a fault should occur on segment 2 in the direction of segment 1 to 3, FEF would be engaged on the iMcV-MediaLinX between segment 2 and 3. This would then send a signal back to the iMcV-MediaLinX between segment 1 and 2. If the iMcV-MediaLinX between segment 1 and 2 is in a managed chassis, the chassis would send a trap that the port is down.
  • Page 9: Auto Negotiation On Imcv-Medialinx

    If the twisted pair port on the other device does not have the ability to Auto Negotiate or a half-duplex connection is desired, then Auto Negotiation must be disabled. The iMcV-MediaLinX is capable of 10 Mbps (half and full duplex) as well as 100 Mbps (half and full duplex).

    TX Duplex Mode The Duplex Mode settings of the iMcV-MediaLinX converter are offered on DIP Switch #2: FDX:OFF, HDX:ON The default duplex mode for iMcV-MediaLinX is Full-Duplex. This mode is recommended if the End device does not offer Auto...
  • Page 11: Led Operation

    The Duplex Mode on the fiber port can be configured using DIP Switch #6. This mode is available if the iMcV-MediaLinX is connected to a legacy device fiber-based port. If the legacy device is only capable of HDX, the iMcV-MediaLinX guarantees that it will not transmit at the same time it is receiving.
  • Page 12: Installation Troubleshooting

    When connecting to an end device, such as another switch, be sure to use the same configuration on its port as well as the iMcV-MediaLinX. For example, if the end device is set to a FORCE mode, then set the copper port of the iMcV- MediaLinX to a FORCE mode as well.

    Dust caps are installed at IMC Networks to ensure factory-clean optical devices. These protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting the fiber cable to the device. Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective dust caps.
