Installation Instructions
Each IE-iMcV-E1-Mux/4 module requires two adjacent slots in an iMediaChassis or
MediaChassis. To install the module in a chassis, remove the blank faceplates
covering the slots where the module is to be installed. Then slide the module into
the chassis card guides until the module is seated securely in the slots. Secure the
module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw.
All IE-iMcV-E1-Mux/4 units are shipped from the factory configured as Host units.
The IE-iMcV-E1-Mux/4 modules must be installed in pairs. For two IE-iMcV-E1-
Mux/4 units to properly operate together one unit needs to be configured as a
Remote. Configuration as a Host or Remote is controlled via a DIP switch setting (S1-
1). If installing in a managed chassis, set the card in the managed chassis as a HOST.
Small Form-Factor Pluggable Ports (SFP)
The fiber link on the IE-iMcV-E1-Mux/4 module is supported through one SFP
running at 155Mbps. The second SFP port can act as a redundant line. Many SFPs,
including those from IMC Networks, feature enhanced diagnostics capabilities DDMI
(Data and Diagnostic Management Information). DDMI statistics provide real-time
access to transceiver operating parameters such as voltage, temperature, laser bias
current, and both transmitted and received optical power. DDMI information can be
accessed in iView

AutoCross Feature
The 10/100BaseT Ethernet port on the IE-iMcV-E1-Mux/4 includes an AutoCross
feature that automatically selects between a crossover workstation and a straight-
through connection depending on the connected device.
