Hardware Configuration
Before installing the module in a chassis, there are two features that must be selected
using DIP Switches. These selections include the following:
• Enable/Disable management on each port
(DIP Switches 1, 2, and 3).
• Configure the module to be either a standalone, a host, or a remote
(DIP Switches 7 and 8).
DIP Switch Settings
Before installing the iMcV-FiberLinX-II, use the DIP Switches to set the hardware-
configurable features. The DIP Switches are located on switch S1 on the iMcV-
FiberLinX-II card. Refer to the diagram and table for switch settings and available
features.

2 Management on DATA port OFF
3 Management on OPTICS or UPLINK port OFF

Host/Remote and Standalone Units
The iMcV-FiberLinX-II can be used as a Host, Remote, or Standalone unit. Refer to
the Application Examples section for examples.
When two iMcV-FiberLinX-II units are used as a pair, configure one as a Host unit
(DIP Switch 8 = On) and the other as a Remote unit (DIP Switch 7 = On). As a host
unit, the iMcV-FiberLinX-II requests management information from the attached
remote unit. It then displays that information, along with its own, when queried by
SNMP. As a Remote unit, the iMcV-FiberLinX-II will respond to requests for
management information from an attached Host unit.
The iMcV-FiberLinX-II default configuration is as a Standalone unit (DIP Switches 7
and 8 = Off).
