Page 4: About The Imcv-Giga-Medialinx
About the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX The iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX is an SNMP-manageable, IEEE 802.3 10/100/1000 switching media converter that converts both speed and media. Each iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX module provides a single conversion between one of the following: • 10Base-T twisted pair and 1000Base-SX/LX multi-mode or single-mode fiber •... -

NOTE Blinking does not display within iView². The twisted pair port on the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX includes AutoCross, a feature that automatically selects between a crossover workstation or pass-through connection depending on the connected device. Installing iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX Modules The iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX installs in any IMC Networks chassis, each requiring one slot. -

Configuring the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX The iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX may be configured with various features such as LinkLoss, FiberAlert, LinkFault Pass Through, Auto Negotiation, duplex mode and speed. The following sections include instructions for configuring both managed (via an SNMP- compatible management application such as iView²) and unmanaged modules. -

Unmanaged Modules Configure the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX for desired features before installing it in an unmanaged chassis. DIP Switch on S1 Feature Default Setting TX Auto Negotiation TX Port-HDX (ON) or FDX (OFF) TX Port-100 (ON) or 10 (OFF) TX Port-1000 TX LinkLoss (TXLL) -
Page 8: Auto Negotiation (Tx And Fx)
10 Mbps HDX Forcing the Duplex Mode (TX Port) The twisted pair port on the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX can be set to either Half- or Full- Duplex operation in 10/100 Mbps (1000 Mbps is always FDX). Before manually setting the duplex mode, disable Auto Negotiation by setting DIP Switch 1 to OFF. - Page 9 ON position. (When ON, Switch 4 overrides Switch 3). FX Auto Negotiation (FX Port) The iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX includes the FX Negotiation feature, which allows Auto Negotiation or a Force Mode on the Gigabit fiber link. Enabled by default, it must be enabled or disabled on both ends of the connection to establish a link.

Page 10: Link Integrity
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 11 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 signal or link pulse is received. The result is that the link LED on BOTH sides of the fiber connection will go out indicating a fault somewhere in the fiber loop.

Page 12: Troubleshooting
Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT) is a troubleshooting feature that combines TX and FX LinkLoss from both the local and remote iMcV-Giga-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. -
