The single-strand versions as HOST and REMOTE must have opposite transmit and receive wavelengths iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm modules must be deployed in pairs (one at each end of a fiber line). The data transmitted on the fiber ports can only be received and interpreted by another iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm unit.
Management Software iView² is the IMC Networks management software designed specifically for the IMC Networks “iMcV” family of modules. It features a GUI and gives network managers the ability to monitor and control the manageable IMC Networks products.
DIP Switch selectable features. DIP Switches The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm DIP Switches are located at S1 and S2 on the PCB. The S2 DIP Switches are factory configured and must not be changed. The S1 DIP Switches provide control over the available iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm features.

When the fiber port receives an RAI signal, this will force AIS to transmit on the COAX Line. Features The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm module includes several features that allow it to be configured for DS3, E3/STS, or STS-based environments.

By default this feature is DISABLED. This feature can be controlled by SNMP management software (iView ) when the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm module, configured as a HOST, is installed in a managed chassis. Loopback Type (DIP Switch S1, Position 2) This switch identifies which data line is looped back when the Loopback DIP Switch is enabled.

By default this feature is set to 0 to 255 feet (450 ft maximum). Transmit Coax Data Source (DIP Switch S1, Positions 6 & 7) These switches select the transmit mode used by the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm module. The transmit modes that can be selected include the following: •...
Looping received data back onto the transmit path helps determine whether a connection is still valid. Remote loopback tests isolate problems on the coax run between an iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm module and the connected device, while local loopback tests can isolate problems on the fiber connected to the...

The following illustrations show a typical progression of loopback tests (i.e., starting by checking the coax segment at the local side, then the fiber segment at the remote side, etc). NOTE Physical fiber loopback capability is only available when performing the loopback at the Host. The Remote unit will not loop the customer data back unless the Remote management DIP Switch #10 is set to OFF.

To test using the internal Pseudorandom Bit Sequence source, ensure that the Central Office and the Customer Premises equipment are configured for loopback. The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm modules should be set to normal default mode. On the HOST iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm module, set the Transmit Coax Data Source to “Transmit Pseudorandom Sequence"...
Troubleshooting General Troubleshooting • The Coax Port can easily be tested using the internal PRBS signal generator and detector and a physical wire loop on the coax interface. • The Fiber Port is internally tested at all times by a working pair of units. With one unit configured for Local Management (Switch 10 set OFF) and the other for Remote Management (Switch 10 set ON), the fiber line is verified if the “RM”...

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.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to any product, add-in modules or stand alone units, containing electronic components. Always observe the following precautions when installing or handling these kinds of products Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until ready to install. Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component.
