Host/Remote and Standalone Units
Depending on the application, you can configure the iMcV-FiberLinX to
be a Host, Remote or Standalone unit.
When two iMcV-FiberLinX units are paired with one another, configure
one as a
Host
unit (set DIP switch 8 to
ON
) and the other as a
Remote
(set
DIP switch 7 to
ON
). As a Host, the iMcV-FiberLinX requests management
information from an attached remote unit and displays that information,
along with its own, upon SNMP query. As a Remote, the iMcV-FiberLinX
will respond to requests for management information from an attached
unit.
For single iMcV-FiberLinX installations, configure the sole iMcV-FiberLinX
as a
Standalone
unit (which is the factory default — DIP switches 7 and 8
both
OFF
).
SNMP Management Traffic
Although the iMcV-FiberLinX provides a twisted pair port solely for man-
agement traffic, SNMP management traffic can be received on any of its
three ports. More than one port can be used for management, or man-
agement can disabled on all ports, if desired.
Set DIP switch 1 to
ON
to use the EXT MGMT port for management.
Set DIP switch 2 to
ON
to use the DATA port for management.
Set DIP switch 3 to
ON
to use the OPTICS port for management.
Basic Mode
Basic Mode is a pre-configured combination of settings for Host/Remote
applications when NO user VLAN IDs are defined (VLAN functionality dis-
abled). Basic Mode must be used whenever connecting the iMcV-FiberLinX
to a “Legacy FiberLinX”. To enable Basic Mode set DIP switch 6 to
ON
.
Half-Duplex on the Fiber Port
The fiber port on iMcV-FiberLinX operates at 100 Mbps Full-Duplex. To
configure the port to operate in Half-Duplex set DIP switch 4 to
ON
.
