BNC/SSFX modules allow two wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm) to share one fiber strand essentially doubling the capacity of installed fiber. You must deploy iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-1 modules in pairs (one at each end of a conversion). The data transmitted on the fiber ports can only be received and interpreted by the receive fiber of another iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-1.
DIP switch settings can be overridden from software. DIP Switches The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-1 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-1 features.
Remote Management Disabled (D) S1-10: ON Remote Management Enabled Feature Descriptions The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-1 module includes several features that allow it to be configured for varying DS3/E3/STS-1-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.

The FiberAlert feature uses the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-1 module LEDs to indicate that a loss of one strand of fiber has occurred. When a strand becomes unavailable, the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-1 module at the receiver-end detects the loss of the link. The module then responds by stopping the transmission of the data and link signal until a new signal or link pulse is received on the strand.

) when the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-1 module is installed in a managed chassis. Transmit Data Source These switches select the transmit mode used by the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-1 module. The transmit modes that can be selected include the following: • Standard data • Unframed All Ones (diagnostic) •...
Save any blanks removed during installation for future use. NOTE It is not recommended that the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-1 module be installed in an IE- MediaChassis/DC. The power source in this chassis is not isolated, and cannot support positive reference ground systems typically used in Telco environments.
LEDs The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-1 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.
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-1 module and the connected device, while local loopback tests can isolate problems on the fiber...
Pseudorandom Bit Sequence (PRBS) Testing To test using Pseudorandom Bit Sequence, configure the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-1 modules for No Loopback, then configure the Transmit Data Source to “Transmit 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).
Installation Troubleshooting General Troubleshooting • During installation, first test your fiber and BNC connections with all troubleshooting features disabled, then enable these features, if desired, just before final installation. This will reduce the features’ interference with testing. • When working with units where the features cannot be disabled, you must establish BOTH your BNC and fiber connections;...
