receiving a fiber link, FiberAlert disables the media converter's fiber

transmitter, thus mirroring the link status of the opposite end of the fiber.

Both fiber link LEDs on either side of the devices should extinguish, alerting

you to the fault.

NOTE: FiberAlert should only be activated on one side of a media

conversion.

More information on FiberAlert can be found on the IMC Networks Web

site at www.imcnetworks.com/to-fa.htm.

Installing a FiberLinX Module

Once you configure a FiberLinX Module, it is ready to be installed in a

chassis. You can install a FiberLinX Module into any IMC Networks’

PowerChassis/100-Series chassis (e.g., PowerChassis/101, etc.). FiberLinX

Modules may be safely installed or removed with power on (i.e., FiberLinX

Modules are “hot-swappable”). Please read the electrostatic discharge

precautions on page 5.1 of this manual before proceeding

NOTE: FiberLinX Modules should be installed into a PowerChassis

only AFTER the PowerChassis has been installed. Please see the

installation guide included with your chassis for assistance in installing

the chassis.

PowerChassis come with blank brackets covering the slots where the

modules are to be installed. To install a FiberLinX Module, remove the blank

bracket by loosening the screws located on the outside edges of the bracket.

Slide the FiberLinX Module into the chassis until the module is seated

securely in the connector. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening

the captive screws.
