Installation Instructions
Each IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet module requires two slots in an iMedia Chassis
Series, MediaChassis/2 Series, or IE-MediaChassis/2 series. To install the module in a
chassis, remove the blank faceplates covering the slots where the module is to be
installed. Then slide the module into the chassis card guides until the module is
seated securely in the slots. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the
captive screw.
All IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet units are shipped from the factory configured as
Host units. The IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet modules must be installed in pairs.
For two IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet units to properly operate together one unit
needs to be configured as a Remote. Configuration as a Host or Remote is controlled
via a DIP Switch setting (S1-1).
Small Form-Factor Pluggable Ports (SFP)
The fiber link on the IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet module is supported through one
or two SFPs (depending on the model) running at 155Mbps. Many SFPs, including
those from IMC Networks, feature enhanced diagnostics capabilities Data and
Diagnostic Management Information (DDMI). DDMI statistics provide real-time
access to transceiver operating parameters such as voltage, temperature, laser bias
current, and both transmitted and received optical power. DDMI information can be
accessed in iView
2 . Any MSA-compliant SFP, 155mbps, can be installed in one or
both SFP ports (model specific).
AutoCross Feature
The 10/100BaseT Ethernet port on the IE-iMcV-T1-Mux/4 + Ethernet includes an
AutoCross feature that automatically selects between a crossover workstation and a
straight-through connection depending on the connected device.
