Requirements

The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS is designed to conform to many
DS3/E3/STS-based environments. Make sure that all of the
relevant information about the expected installation
environment is available before configuring the module.
This information includes the following:

Distance of the coax run

Distance of the fiber run

Troubleshooting requirements.

Managed Modules

To manage iMcV-DS3/E3/STS modules, an SNMP agent must be
present; the iMediaChassis requires an SNMP management
module. For a managed environment, first manually
configure all of the desired DIP Switch selectable features
to match what will be configured through the SNMP
Management Module.

Use the Graphical User Interface (GUI) to enable features
by using the iView

SNMP management software. In a managed

chassis, the software settings take priority over the SNMP
enabled feature DIP Switch settings. Make sure that the
software settings match the desired configuration
requirements for the installation.

NOTE

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

S1-10: ON Remote Unit Enabled (only at the REMOTE end)
(Remote)

S1-10: OFF Remote Unit Disabled (only at the LOCAL end)
(Host)

iView² Management Software

iView² is the B&B Electronics management software designed
specifically for the B&B Electronics “iMcV” family of
modules. It features a GUI and gives network managers the
ability to monitor and control the manageable B&B
Electronics products.

iView² is available in several versions, including
WebServer version 3.0, and can also function as a snap-in
module for HP OpenView Network Node Manager and other third
party SNMP Management software.
