About the iMcV-Modules
iMcV-Modules are SNMP-manageable and install in the modular, SNMP-
manageable iMediaChassis series in the unmanaged MediaChassis series. The
following media conversion and fiber mode conversion iMcV Modules are
described in this manual:
iMcV-PIM
Ethernet module providing a single conversion between 10Base-T
twisted pair and 10Base-FL single-mode or multi-mode fiber. Each
iMcV-PIM includes one RJ-45 connector and one pair of ST or SC fiber
optic connectors.
When connecting 10 Mbps iMcV-PIM Media
Converters, the end devices must be set to Force mode.
TP LinkLoss and FO LinkLoss are always enabled
—please see the
table later in this manual.
iMcV-LIM
Fast Ethernet module provides a single conversion between 100Base-
TX twisted pair and 100Base-FX/SX single-mode or multi-mode fiber.
Each iMcV-LIM includes one RJ-45 connector and one pair of ST or SC
fiber optic connectors.
Also available in a single-strand fiber version, iMcV-LIM TX/SSFX
allows two wavelengths to share one fiber strand
– Full-Duplex data
travels on different wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm)
– doubling the
capacity of fiber. Includes one RJ-45 connector and one SC fiber
connector.
iMcV-S2MM/
M2MM/S2SM
Protocol-independent modules provide a single conversion between
single-mode and multi-mode (S2MM*) fiber, 1310 nm to 1550 nm
single-mode (S2SM), or 850 nm to 1300 nm multi-mode (M2MM).
Supported transmission speeds are: 10-155 Mbps and 622-1250Mbps.
Each module includes two pairs of ST or SC fiber optic connectors (or
small form factor connector). Single-strand fiber versions also available.
Installation
iMcV-Modules install in any B&B Electronics SNMP-manageable iMediaChassis
series or in any MediaChassis. To install an iMcV-Module, remove the blank
bracket covering the slot where the module is to be installed by removing the
screw on the outside edge of the bracket. Slide the iMcV Module into the
chassis, via the card guides, until the module is seated securely in the connector.
Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw. Save any
blanks removed during installation for future use should configuration
requirements change.
LED Operation
Each iMcV-Module features diagnostic LEDs that provide information on features
and ports.
