To restore the unit to factory default settings, use the cleandb function via 
the serial port (refer to the Device-Specific Options from the Command 
Line section for more information).  This is especially helpful if you feel you 
have configured the module improperly.  If restarting to factory defaults is 
necessary, IMC Networks recommends using this function on both units in 
Host/Remote applications, then reconfiguring all settings. 

 

Ensure READ/WRITE Community Strings for iMcV-FiberLinX-II and iView² 
are the same. 

 

 

Ensure none of the twisted-pair ports on the iMcV-FiberLinX-II are 

connected to the twisted-pair port on the iMediaCenter chassis or the 
management module in an iMediaChassis series chassis.
