Page 5: About The Imcv-E1-Mux/4
The iMcV-E1-Mux/4 provides fault indications on the E1 and fiber links resulting from real-time active faults. The equipment detects both E1 and fiber LOS events as well as degraded E1 or fiber lines. -
Page 6: Managed Modules
IE-MediaChassis series Product Application The iMcV-E1-Mux/4 delivers 4 E1 lines to a customer's site over a protected, dedicated fiber line. In addition, one serial RS-232 line and one 10/100BaseT Ethernet line can be carried at the same time. All circuits run at full line rates with no interaction. -
Page 7: Port Interfaces
Ports Console The iMcV-E1-Mux/4 includes a console serial port. To establish a link between a module's console port and a local PC, connect the Mini Jack to DB9 adapter that is included with the IMC module. This RS-232 serial connection provides access to the iMcV-E1-Mux/4 module CLI configuration screens. - Page 8 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. iView² is available in several versions and can also function as a snap-in module for HP OpenView Network Node Manager and other third party SNMP Management software.

Page 14: Installation Instructions
Configuration as a Host or Remote is controlled via a DIP switch setting (S1-1). Small Form-Factor Pluggable Ports (SFP) The fiber link on the iMcV-E1-Mux/4 module is supported through one or two SFPs (depending on the model) running at 155Mbps. Many SFPs, including those from IMC Networks, feature enhanced diagnostics capabilities DDMI (Data and Diagnostic Management Information). -
Page 15: Configuration Options
The Ethernet transport can accommodate packets up to 1916 bytes. Auto Negotiation The iMcV-E1-Mux/4 ships from the factory with Auto Negotiation enabled on the Ethernet port. In this mode, the port negotiates for speed, duplex and flow control. Forcing the Speed, Duplex Mode, and Flow Control The Ethernet port on the iMcV-E1-Mux/4 can be selectively advertised or manually forced for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps operation at Half- or Full-Duplex (i.e., 10 Mbps... -
Page 16: Fx Linkloss (Fxll)
FX LinkLoss (FXLL) FX LinkLoss is a link integrity monitoring feature that forwards fiber link faults to the RJ-45 DATA port to indicate that a fiber link fault has occurred. FX LinkLoss can be enabled in iView². Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) is a troubleshooting feature that passes a link fault from the Ethernet port on one module through to the Ethernet port on the other module. -
Page 17: Loopback
Loopback Each E1 port can be tested in loopback mode by enabling either a Host loopback or Remote loopback test path. This capability allows the end-user to help troubleshoot and isolate system problems such as improper/broken line terminations, cables or malfunctioning equipment. -

Page 26: Fiber Optic Port Verification
Fiber Optic Port Verification As a troubleshooting aid, the fiber optic ports can be verified by placing a physical loopback optical line on the ports and verify the LED behavior as shown: The ACT LED will arbitrarily be configured to either the A or B fiber line. The RAI LED is RED/GREEN indicating that there is something wrong at the far end of the fiber line (in this case, the remote unit is missing). -
Page 27: E1 Port Verification
E1 Port Verification By placing a physical loopback connection on the E1 port, a valid signal can be detected by each individual E1 port to verify its operation. Without the fiber looped, the ALARM LED for the looped E1 port will show RED/GREEN indicating there is a problem at the far end of the fiber transport (In this case the far end unit is missing) and the STAT LED is RED because the fiber is in LOS. -

Normal Operation Under normal operation the following LED display is given: GREEN LNK 10/100BaseT 10/100BaseT RS-232 RS-232 GREEN STAT GREEN ACT, LNK, MSA Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines Fiber optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles of dirt or dust which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation. -
Page 29: Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
• 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. Ensure that the fiber is properly terminated, polished and free of any dust or dirt and that the location is as free from dust and dirt as possible. - Page 30 Wear an ESD wrist-grounding strap before handling any module or component. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain grounded contact with the system unit throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection. Hold boards by the edges only; do not touch the electronic components or gold connectors.
