Managed Modules

To manage one or more iMcV-MediaLinX Modules, an SNMP agent must be present
in the chassis: The iMediaChassis series requires an SNMP Management Module. To
configure Managed Modules, install the module first, and then configure using the
management software. All fiber type information is now loaded into a NVRAM
during manufacturing. This is viewed only via iView² software, within the modules
details.

Requirements:

• SNMP Firmware version C2
• iView² 1.8.6 or higher

NOTE

If the module is going to be managed via the software management, configuration settings
will override any hardware settings, such as DIP Switches or jumpers.

Unmanaged Modules

Before installing, configure iMcV-MediaLinX Modules for desired features listed in the
table below. After configuring the DIP Switches for the desired settings, install the
module and connect the appropriate cables. For further information, refer to the
Installing an iMcV Module section.

BEST PRACTICES

When possible, it is always a good idea to configure DIP Switches to match software settings.
