iMcV-E1-Mux4, Ethernet Enhanced

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Each IE-iMcV-E1-Mux/4 module requires two adjacent slots in an
iMediaChassis or MediaChassis. To install the module in a chassis, remove
the blank faceplates covering the slots where the module is to be installed.
Then slide the module into the chassis card guides until the module is seated
securely in the slots. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the
captive screw.
All IE-iMcV-E1-Mux/4 units are shipped from the factory configured as
Host
units. The IE-iMcV-E1-Mux/4 modules must be installed in pairs. For two IE-
iMcV-E1-Mux/4 units to properly operate together one unit needs to be
configured as a
Remote
. Configuration as a Host or Remote is controlled via a
DIP Switch setting (S1-1). If installing in a managed chassis, set the card in
the managed chassis as a HOST.
SMALL FORM-FACTOR PLUGGABLE PORTS (SFP)
The fiber link on the IE-iMcV-E1-Mux/4 module is supported through one SFP
running at 155Mbps. The second SFP port can act as a redundant line. Many
SFPs, including those from B+B SmartWorx, feature enhanced diagnostics
capabilities DDMI (Data and Diagnostic Management Information). DDMI
statistics provide real-time access to transceiver operating parameters such as
voltage, temperature, laser bias current, and both transmitted and received
optical power. DDMI information can be accessed in iView

.
AUTO CROSS FEATURE
The 10/100BaseT Ethernet port on the IE-iMcV-E1-Mux/4 includes an Auto
Cross feature that automatically selects between a crossover workstation and
a straight-through connection depending on the connected device.
