iMcV-LIM 

 

 

If another type of module is installed into the same slot in a chassis, 

the iMcV-LIM clears the memory of the previous configuration for that 

slot; the settings of a new module are adopted and stored in the 

iMcV-LIM 

 

The SNMP Write Lock switch does not impact any iMcV module or iMcV 

module with Configuration Control. Removing and installing a new SNMP 

Management Module will no longer impact these modules either. However, if 

there is a mixture of iMcV modules with and without Configuration Control, the 

Write Lock Switch and a new SNMP Management Module must be taken into 

consideration. 
If the command cleandb is applied to an SNMP Management Module, all the 

settings for the modules will be removed, but the Configuration Control 

modules will still be based on the last change made, while those without 

Configuration Control will be set to their default settings. 

NOTE

If the end user has a mixture of standard iMcV modules as well as Configuration 

Control iMcV modules, it is important to understand how SNMP and DIP Switches will 

impact the cards depending on their capability. Standard iMcV modules cannot be 

upgraded to Configuration Control capability, so it is strongly recommended to set the DIP 

Switches on the modules and then configure them via software to match the same settings.

 

UNMANAGED MODULES 

Before installing, configure the iMcV-LIM modules for desired features. The 

table below indicates the available features and settings for the iMcV-LIM 

modules.  
After configuring the DIP Switches for the desired settings, install the module 

and connect the appropriate cables (refer to Installing an iMcV-LIM section for 

more information).
