Configuration
Proper configuration of the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm is required for maximum
performance and reliability. The following sections describe the prerequisites and the
configurations available for both managed and unmanaged modules.
Requirements
The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm conforms to many DS3/E3/STS-based environments.
Ensure all of the relevant information about the expected installation environment is
available before configuring the module. This information includes
Distance of the coax run (450 feet Max)
Distance of the fiber run (Must match fiber transceiver selected)
Troubleshooting requirements
Managed Modules
The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm modules can be remotely managed when installed
in an iMediaChassis with an SNMP management module.
NOTE
Before installing the modules, they must be configured for Host/Remote via the DIP
Switches. The Master/Slave condition requires this configuration:
S1-10: ON Remote Unit Enabled (only at the REMOTE end) (Remote)
S1-10: OFF Remote Unit Disabled (only at the LOCAL end) (Host)
After the module is installed, modify the SNMP enabled features by using the iView

SNMP management software. In a managed chassis, the software settings take
priority over DIP Switch settings. Ensure the software settings match the desired
configuration requirements for the installation.
iView² Management Software
iView² is the B&B Electronics management software designed specifically for the B&B
Electronics “iMcV” family of modules. It features a
GUI
and gives network managers
the ability to monitor and control the manageable B&B Electronics products.
iView² is available in several versions, including WebServer version 3.0, and can also
function as a snap-in module for HP OpenView Network Node Manager and other
third party SNMP Management software.
iView

supports the following platforms:
Windows 2000
Windows XP

Windows Vista
Windows 7
In addition, there are Java versions of iView² for any Java-capable operating systems
such as Linux.
Please see the
SNMP
Management Module installation guide for software
configuration options.
Unmanaged Modules
Before installing the module in an unmanaged chassis, manually configure all of the
desired DIP Switch selectable features.
DIP Switches
The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm DIP Switches are located at S1 and S2 on the PCB.
The S2 DIP Switches are factory configured and must not be changed. The S1 DIP
Switches provide control over the available iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm features.
The location of the S1 DIP Switches is displayed in the following diagram:
