Installation
The IE-iMcV-ModeConverter Modules install in any IMC Networks SNMP-
manageable iMediaChassis series or in any MediaChassis. To install an IE-iMcV-
ModeConverter Module, remove the blank bracket covering the slot where the
module is to be installed by removing the screws on the outside edges of the bracket.
Slide the IE-iMcV-ModeConverter 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. Install the SFPs necessary for the type
of application.
About LinkLoss (FXLL)
and SFP Speed
The IE-iMcV-ModeConverter includes LinkLoss (FXLL) and SFP speed control.
The
FXLL
feature is user selectable through management with the default condition
OFF. When a loss of signal is detected on an incoming port, the Optical transmitter
on the other port is turned OFF. This provides a FXLL carry forward function to alert
the IE-iMcV-ModeConverter down stream of the existing problem. The FXLL feature
is bi-directional and can be enabled from SFP1-to-SFP2, from SFP2-to-SFP1, or both
at the same time. If FXLL is not enabled, a loss of optical signal on one SFP will force
a 25 MHz keep alive signal to be transmitted on the other SFP.
The SFP speed DIP Switch allows the end user to select OFF to support high speed
SFP operation for 1.25Gbps. Select ON if installing SFPs that support 155Mbps. The
Dual Speed function is only supported by Dual Speed SFPs.
NOTE
Both SFP ports must be populated with the same speed capability. Combining a 1.25Gbps SFP
with a 155Mbps SFP will not function properly.
