Installation
To install the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II into a network environment, connect the proper
twisted-pair and fiber cables. In a standalone configuration, or if direct management
is desired, assign an IP Address to the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II after installation. Refer to
Assigning IP Information for information on assigning an IP Address.
NOTE
Since single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two different
wavelengths, single-strand fiber products must be deployed in pairs or connected with two
compatible IMC Networks single-strand fiber products. For example, connect IE-MiniFiberLinX-
II, TX/SSFX-SM1310-SC (which has 1310 xmt and 1550 rcv) to a product which has 1550 xmt
and 1310 rcv, e.g. iMcV-FiberLinX-II, TX/SSFX-SM1550-SC. The two connected products must
also have the same speed and distance capabilities (i.e. both are single-mode [20 km] or both
are single/PLUS [40 km]).
The unit shall be installed in a Restricted Access Location when installed for use in a
Tma above 50°C.
DIN Rail Mounting
The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II can be mounted with two DIN Rail clips, a hardware option
available through IMC Networks. The DIN Rail clips include screws, to allow the
installation onto a DIN Rail. Install the screws into DIN Rail clips, which should be
mounted perpendicular to the DIN Rail. Snap the converter onto the clips. To
remove the converter from the DIN Rail, use a flat-head screwdriver into the slot to
gently pry the converter from the rail.
Autocross Feature for Twisted Pair Connection
All twisted pair ports on the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II include AutoCross, feature that
automatically selects between a crossover workstation and a straight-through
connection depending on the connected device.
Mini-Serial Port
Included with the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II is a serial port adapter for configuration.
A standard AC mini-jack on the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II provides a local RS-232, Craft
interface for management. A special mini-jack to DF-9F cable is provided for direct
connection to a PC serial port.
NOTE
To log on through the serial port, set the computer/terminal for VT-100 emulation, with; 38.4K
baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no FlowControl.
