Configuring the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX
The iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX may be configured with various features such as LinkLoss,
FiberAlert, LinkFault Pass Through, Auto Negotiation, duplex mode and speed. The
following sections include instructions for configuring both managed (via an SNMP-
compatible management application such as iView²) and unmanaged modules.
** WARNING **
Installing modules without understanding the effects of LinkLoss and FiberAlert can
cause functioning units to appear flawed or even non-functional.
Managed Modules
For a managed environment, first manually configure the desired features through
DIP Switch settings to ensure this configuration is maintained if management is ever
lost. After the module is installed, you can modify the SNMP enabled features for
troubleshooting by using the included iView² SNMP management software. In a
managed chassis, the software settings take priority configuration requirements for the
installation.
