The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II module is a double-slot, chassis-mounted module.
Compatible chassis include the following:
• iMediaChassis series
• MediaChassis series
• IE-MediaChassis series
Port Interfaces
Every iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II includes the following port:
• A 10/100/1000 twisted pair port (EXT MGMT) for management
One of the following uplink ports:
• One fixed 1000 Mbps Fiber port
• A SFP port capable of receiving a gigabit fiber optic SFP module or a
gigabit twisted pair (RJ-45) SFP module
And one of the following DATA ports:
• A 10/100/1000 twisted pair (RJ-45) port
• A SFP port capable of receiving a gigabit fiber optic SFP module or a gigabit
twisted pair (RJ-45) SFP module
Configure the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II by using either the serial craft port connection,
through SNMP management application such as iView² or a Telnet session.
About Serial Port Configuration
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II includes a serial port on the unused pins of the EXT
MGMT Ethernet port. This RS-232 serial connection provides access to the iMcV-
Giga-FiberLinX-II module configuration screens. These configuration screens are also
accessible from a Telnet connection.
DHCP Disable (Static IP Addressing)
DHCP is disabled in the default configuration. Initially, modules are assigned a Static
default IP Address of 10.10.10.10. Changes to the Static IP Address can be added
manually through iConfig, an RS-232 Serial session, or Telnet. The changes will be
initiated following reboot of the module.
DHCP Enable (Dynamic IP Addressing)
If a DHCP server is present on the network and DHCP is enabled, the DHCP client
will initiate a dialogue with the server during the boot up sequence. The server will
then issue an IP address to the management card. Once the new IP address is
received, the SNMP Management Module will reboot so that the new IP address will
