    (1310 nm and 1550 nm)—doubling the capacity of fiber. Also, one RJ- 45 connector and one SC fiber connector are included. iMcV-Gigabit is part of the iMcV series. Information for other iMcV modules can be found in their respective manuals and on the IMC Networks Web site at: http://www.imcnetworks.com/support/.

    Managed Modules To manage one or more iMcV-Gigabit Modules, an SNMP agent must be present in the chassis: iMediaCenter chassis have embedded management; iMediaChassis series chassis use an SNMP management module. To configure managed modules, install the module first, and then configure using the management software.
  • Page 6 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 7 What Is FiberAlert? FiberAlert minimizes the problems associated with the loss of one strand of fiber. 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 a signal or link pulse is received.
  • Page 8: Additional Gigabit Features

    The Master/Slave mode feature determines which clock will be used between the iMcV-Gigabit and the device it is connected to (a switch, NIC, or another iMcV- Gigabit, etc). Slave mode (S1-2 is ON) is the default setting. In Slave mode, iMcV- Gigabit will receive and use the clock of the connected device.

    If the device you are connecting to the iMcV-Gigabit module does not support auto-negotiation, disabling the feature on the iMcV-Gigabit module forces the link up.
