LineTerm unit. The iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm is also available with single-strand fiber allowing two wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm) to share one fiber strand, essentially doubling the capacity of installed fiber. With the single-strand version, the HOST and REMOTE must be ordered with opposite transmit and receive wavelengths for proper operation.
Requirements The iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm conforms to any T1/E1/J1-based environment. Ensure all of the relevant information about the expected installation environment is available before configuring the module. This information includes: • Line Type T1 or E1 • Line Coding used on T1: either AMI or B8ZS •...
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.
HOST.. HOST: S3-2 OFF REMOTE: S3-2 ON DIP Switches The iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm DIP Switches are located on S2 and S3 on the PCB. The location of the S2 and S3 DIP Switches are displayed in the following diagram:...

DO NOT CHANGE S3-10: Factory Configured DO NOT CHANGE Features The iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm module includes several features to facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting in any T1/E1/J1 based TDM environment. Loopback Modes This feature allows three distinct Loopbacks to be activated either through DIP Switches or iView Management.

By default this feature is set to 0 to 133 feet line Buildout for DSX1 lines. Transmit Data Source These switches select the transmit mode used by the iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm module. The transmit modes that can be selected include the following: •...

This feature can be controlled by SNMP-Management software (iView ) when the HOST iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm module is installed in a managed chassis. T1, E1 and J1 Selection This switch selects the data rate to use on the copper line. The data rate selections available include the following: •...
LED Operation The iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm module features several diagnostic LEDs per port. The following LED display functions are provided: Copper Port LEDs Flashes yellow whenever a line code violation is received. Glows red when the RJ-48 is receiving no signal and is in an LOS ALARM state.
Looping received data back onto the transmit path helps determine whether a connection is still valid. Copper Loopback tests isolate problems on the copper run between an iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm module and the connected device, while Fiber Loopback tests can isolate problems on the fiber connected to the module.
Pseudorandom Bit Sequence (PRBS) Testing To test using PRBS, configure the iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm modules for No Loopback, and then configure the Transmit Copper Data Source to PRBS. Configure the local device for Loopback and start the test. Verify the PRBS LED is ON indicating no errors are being received.
Installation Troubleshooting General Troubleshooting • The copper port can easily be tested using the internal PRBS signal generator and detector and a physical wire loop on the copper interface. • The fiber port is internally tested at all times by a working pair of units. With one unit configured for Local Management (S3-2 set OFF) and the other for Remote Management (S3-2 set ON), the fiber line is verified if the RM LED is ON at both ends of the fiber line.

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.
