    45 Mbps (DS3), 34 Mbps (E3) or 52 Mbps (STS). Each iMcV-DS3/E3/STS, BNC/FX module includes one pair of BNC connectors and one pair of ST or SC fiber optic connectors. This module must be installed in either, an SNMP-manageable iMediaChassis chassis or an unmanaged MediaChassis chassis.
  • Page 5 Managed Modules To manage iMcV-DS3/E3/STS modules, an SNMP agent must be present; the iMediaChassis requires an SNMP management module. For a managed environment, first manually configure all of the desired DIP Switch selectable features to match what will be configured through the SNMP Management Module.
  • Page 6: Dip Switches

    DIP Switches The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS DIP Switches are located on S1 and S2 on the PCB. The S2 DIP Switches are factory configured and must not be moved. The S1 DIP Switches provide control over the available iMcV-DS3/E3/STS features.
  • Page 7 Remote Unit Disabled (D) S1-10: ON Remote Unit Enabled Feature Descriptions The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS module includes several features that allow it to be configured for varying DS3/E3/STS-based environments. Loopback This switch enables or disables the loopback feature. When this feature is enabled, the data line (Coax or Fiber) set by the Loopback Type DIP Switch is looped back.
  • Page 8 ** WARNING ** Enabling FiberAlert on both of the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS modules will cause them both to stop transmitting unrecoverably when a fault occurs. This feature is designed to only be enabled on the Remote iMcV-DS3/E3/STS module.
  • Page 9 ) when the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS module is installed in a managed chassis. Transmit Data Source These switches select the transmit mode used by the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS module. The transmit modes that can be selected include the following: • Standard data • Unframed All Ones (diagnostic) •...
  • Page 10 This feature can only be selected by setting the DIP Switches manually. Loopback Testing The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS includes two loopback test modes: Coax Loopback and Fiber Loopback. The following illustrations show the path that a signal takes in each of the loopback test modes.
  • Page 11 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 module and the connected device, while local loopback tests can isolate problems on the fiber connected to the module.
  • Page 12 Pseudorandom Bit Sequence.” Configure the local device for loopback, conduct the test, then check the PBEO LED to verify errors were not received (Refer to the LED section for more information).
  • Page 13: Led Operation

    LED Operation The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS module features several diagnostic LEDs per port. The LED functions are as follows: LEDs Next to Coax (BNC) Port LPBK Glows green when module is in a Loopback mode. NO LNK Glows green when a link is NOT established.

    3. Verify that you have a valid connection for both the BNC and fiber ports on your media converter. • If there is trouble with link connectivity, make sure the connection is made using 75W Coax cable. NOTE iMcV-DS3/E3/STS Repeater modules cannot be connected iMcV-DS3/E3/STS LineTerm modules successfully.

  • Page 17: Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines

    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.
  • Page 18: Electrostatic Discharge Precautions

    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.
