Making Your Net
Work
Better — Since 1988
Dissimilar media types, protocols and duplex settings can
make LAN internetworking and Fiber-to-the-Subscriber projects
challenging undertakings. For example, if the service provider’s
network infrastructure is 100 Mbps or Gigabit fiber, but the
customer wants to receive a standard 10 Mbps Ethernet interface
to their LAN; making the connection between the two network
segments can be difficult. The complexity of today's mixed
media networks and the increasing demand for bandwidth
requires access equipment that is both flexible in connecting
different media types and scalable between different speeds.
Convert speed, media and duplex mode:
The iMcV-MediaLinX series of switching media converters
offers service providers and enterprise networks unparalleled
flexibility in connecting copper-based networks to Fast Ethernet
or Gigabit fiber optic infrastructures. The SNMP-manageable
iMcV-MediaLinX converters allow device managers to use Auto
Negotiation functionality on the twisted pair port for plug-and-
play operation, or to manually configure the port for the desired
speed and duplex mode. What's more, you can even set the
fiber port for Half- or Full-Duplex operation (10/100 Mbps only).
The iMcV-MediaLinX series includes three models:
The iMcV-MediaLinX supports Config Control, a feature that
retains the latest configuration on the module regardless of how
the initial configuration was setup; whether through DIP Switch
settings or the SNMP Management Module’s configuration. This
feature is beneficial when 1) changing the settings of a currently
installed iMcV-Module through iView², 2) replacing the same
type of iMcV-Module, or 3) installing a new or different type of
iMcV-Module.
The iMcV-MediaLinX series also includes troubleshooting
features and LEDs to assist in network diagnostics as well
as make isolating cable breaks easier should they occur. In
addition, hot-swappable iMcV-MediaLinX modules significantly
reduce operating costs by allowing other modules within
the same chassis to remain up and running during product
upgrades, maintenance and troubleshooting.
Features and Benefits
Same unit converts speed, media and
duplex mode!
• Available in 10/100 Mbps and
10/100/1000 Mbps models
• IE-iMcV-MediaLinX supports SFP (LC)
transceivers and extended operating
temperatures
• Configure twisted pair port for Auto
Negotiation or force the speed
• Twisted pair and fiber ports can be
individually configured for Half- or
Full-Duplex operation
Easy to configure and manage with
GUI-based iView²
• Up and running in less than 5 minutes
• Easily adjust settings when user
requirements change
• Easy upgrades; no user intervention or
visits to remote locations required
• Monitor and control all connections
Meets a variety of installation
requirements
• Available for multi-mode, single-mode
and CWDM fiber
• Available with single-strand fiber
Eases Troubleshooting
• LinkLoss, FiberAlert, SNMP management
and LEDs assist in diagnosing problems
on fiber optic networks
• Features Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT),
a troubleshooting feature that monitors
the copper and fiber ports of the unit;
if a port loses LINK, the unit disables the
transmitting signal on the other port
(Pass-Through) and notifies the user via LED
• Supports
Config Control
, a feature that
retains the latest configuration on a
module regardless of how the initial
configuration was setup; whether by DIP
Switch or SNMP Management Module
