single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two different
wavelengths, deploy single-strand fiber products in pairs, or connect two
compatible IMC Networks single-strand fiber products. For example, connect a
PSE-McBasic, TX/SSFX-SM1310-SC (which has 1310 xmt and 1550 rcv) to a
product which has 1550 xmt and 1310 rcv, e.g. an iMcV-LIM, TX/SSFX-SM1550-
SC. The two connected products must also have the same speed and distance
capabilities (i.e. both are single-mode [20km] or both are single/PLUS [40km]).
Configuring the PSE-McBasic
The PSE-McBasic features an 8-position DIP Switches, set after installation. Access
these through a cut-out in the bottom of the unit. After configuring the DIP Switches,
power cycle the PSE-McBasic for the changes to take effect. Default settings for the
following features are shown to the right.
•
Pulse (Pulsing FiberAlert)
•
PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment)
•
TX LL (TX LinkLoss)
•
FX LL (FX LinkLoss)
•
Auto Negotiation
•
FA (FiberAlert)
Some switches are reserved for future development.
LinkLoss and FiberAlert
PSE-McBasic includes the troubleshooting features FiberAlert, TXLL and FXLL that
help locate
silent failures
on a network. Before attempting to install the module(s),
understand how these features work and react to specific network configurations.
** WARNING **
Installing modules without understanding the effects of LinkLoss and FiberAlert can
cause functioning units to appear flawed or even non functional.
