About the iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater

The iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater chassis mounted media conversion module allows
the end user to extend the distances between T1, J1, and E1 copper telephony
systems by adding a fiber segment. The distances can support up to 100km
depending on the module used and the fiber type available.
Each iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater includes one RJ-48 connector and one pair of SC or
ST fiber optic connectors, which can support any fiber type in MultiMode or
SingleMode. The Repeater series is also available in Single Strand Fiber, with SC
connectors.

Installating an iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater

Each module requires one slot in the chassis. To install a module, remove the
blank brackets covering the slots where the module is to be installed (if present),
by removing the screws on the outside edges of the bracket. Slide the module
into the chassis, via the card guides, until the module is seated securely in the
connector. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw.
Save any “blanks” removed during installation for future use should the
configuration requirements change.

Crossover/Straight-Through Connection

iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater comes with an RJ-48 UTP connector that features a
push-button switch, located next to the port, for selecting a crossover or straight-
through connection. To select a cross-over connection, press the push-button IN.
A straight-through connection is selected when the push-button is OUT. When
unsure what type of connection is needed, set the push button to the position
that turns the NO LNK LED off.
The iMcV-T1/E1/J1 Repeater Host and Remote modules cannot be both installed
in managed chassis. The recommendation, if using a managed chassis, is to
install the Host in the managed chassis; the Remote Unit should be installed in an
unmanaged chassis.

NOTE

Before installing the modules, they must be configured for Host/Remote via the DIP
Switches. The Master/Slave condition requires this configuration:

S3-2: ON Remote Unit Enabled (only at the REMOTE end)
S3-2: OFF Remote Unit Disabled (only at the LOCAL end)
