About the IE-iMcV-ModeConverter
The IE-iMcV-ModeConverter is SNMP-manageable and installs in the modular,
SNMP-manageable iMediaChassis series and in the unmanaged MediaChassis series.
The IE-iMcV-ModeConverters are protocol-independent modules with SFP ports
which can provide a single conversion between single-mode and multi-mode fiber,
single-mode to single-mode or multi-mode fiber to single strand single-mode fiber.
The supported transmission speeds are: 10-155 Mbps and 622-1250 Mbps. Each
module includes two SFP ports that can support SFPs with LC connectors. Single-
strand fiber versions are also available with SC connectors.

Configuration Instructions
The IE-iMcV-ModeConverter modules have user-configurable features (e.g., LinkLoss,
High Speed SFP, and Low Speed SFP). Refer to the chart for information on available
features on each module. Instructions for configuring both managed (via an SNMP-
compatible management application such as iView²) and unmanaged modules follow.
Managed Modules
To manage one or more iMcV Modules, an SNMP agent must be present in the
chassis. The iMediaChassis series, available in 3, 6 or 20 slots in both AC and DC,
requires a separate SNMP Management Module. To configure managed modules,
install the module first, then configure it by using the management software. The
SNMP management includes an SFP table for both ports if SFPs with DDMI are
installed; the SFP table provides information such as temperature, voltage, output
power, receive power, vendor serial number, vendor part number and vendor name.
The SFP table is viewed through Module Details within iView².
NOTE
Management software overrides any hardware settings (e.g., jumper, switch, etc.), so the
module must be configured through the software before beginning normal operation. Until a
module installed in a managed chassis is configured via the software, it will operate using the
hardware configuration.
