  • Page 4: About The Imcv-Lim

    The iMcV-LIM is a Fast Ethernet module which provides a single conversion between 100Base-TX twisted pair and 100Base-FX/SX single-mode or multi-mode fiber. Each iMcV-LIM includes one RJ-45 connector and one pair of ST or SC fiber optic connectors Also available in a single-strand fiber version, iMcV-LIM TX/SSFX allows two wavelengths to share one fiber strand —...
  • Page 5: Managed Modules

    Managed Modules To manage one or more iMcV-LIM(s), an SNMP agent must be present in the chassis. To configure Managed Modules, install the module first, and then configure using the management software. All Fiber Type information is now loaded into the NVRAM during manufacturing.

    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 8: Link Fault Pass-Through (Lfpt)

    Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) is a troubleshooting feature that combines TX and FX LinkLoss from both the local and remote iMcV-LIM 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.
  • Page 9 For example if a fault should occur on segment 2 in the direction of segment 1 to 3, FEF would be engaged on the iMcV-LIM between segment 2 and 3. This would then send a signal back to the iMcV-LIM between segment 1 and 2. If the iMcV-LIM between segment 1 and 2 is in a managed chassis, the chassis would send a trap that the port is down.

    Full-Duplex Auto Negotiation is ON Auto Negotiation is ON Configure Auto Negotiation on an iMcV-LIM by adjusting the DIP Switch setting (for unmanaged modules) or via the management software. Refer to the DIP Switch table for switch location and settings.
  • Page 11: Led Operation

    AutoCross Feature for Twisted Pair Connection All twisted pair ports on the iMcV-LIM includes AutoCross, a feature that automatically selects between a crossover workstation and a straight-through connection depending on the connected device. LED Operation Each iMcV-LIM module features diagnostic LEDs that provide information on features and ports.

    LEDs will light. • To test a iMcV-LIM by itself, first, have an appropriate fiber patch cable, then follow these steps to test: Connect the iMcV-LIM to the twisted pair device with a twisted pair cable.
