Operation Manual
FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The use of non-shielded I/O cables may not guarantee compliance with FCC RFI limits. This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B
limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of
Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de classe B
prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

handling charges prepaid. End-user agrees to accept all liability for loss of or damages to the returned product during
shipment. IMC Networks shall repair or replace the returned product, at its option, and return the repaired or new
product to the end-user, freight prepaid, via method to be determined by IMC Networks. IMC Networks shall not be
liable for any costs of procurement of substitute goods, loss of profits, or any incidental, consequential, and/or special
damages of any kind resulting from a breach of any applicable express or implied warranty, breach of any obligation
arising from breach of warranty, or otherwise with respect to the manufacture and sale of any IMC Networks product,
whether or not IMC Networks has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damage.
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE, IMC NETWORKS MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES,
WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THIS IMC NETWORKS PRODUCT, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION ANY SOFTWARE ASSOCIATED OR INCLUDED. IMC NETWORKS SHALL DISREGARD AND NOT BE
BOUND BY ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES MADE BY ANY OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING EMPLOYEES,
DISTRIBUTORS, RESELLERS OR DEALERS OF IMC NETWORKS, WHICH ARE
INCONSISTENT WITH THE WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING THOSE OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE HEREBY LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE
EXPRESS WARRANTY STATED ABOVE.
Every reasonable effort has been made to ensure that IMC Networks product manuals and promotional materials
accurately describe IMC Networks product specifications and capabilities at the time of publication. However, because of
ongoing improvements and updating of IMC Networks products, IMC Networks cannot guarantee the accuracy of printed
materials after the date of publication and disclaims liability for changes, errors or omissions.

About the iMcV-LIM
The iMcV-LIM is a Fast Ethernet module which provides a single conversion between
100Base-TX twisted pair and 100Base-FX/SX single-mode or multi-mode fiber. Each
iMcV-LIM includes one RJ-45 connector and one pair of ST or SC fiber optic
connectors, and/or an SFP port, which can support any fiber type. Models with
Configuration Control are identified by a label on the faceplate of the module.
Also available in a single-strand fiber version, iMcV-LIM TX/SSFX and iMcV-LIM
TX/SFP with Configuration Control allow two wavelengths to share one fiber strand —
Full-Duplex data travels on different wavelengths, for example (1310 nm and 1550
nm) — doubling the capacity of fiber.
The iMcV-LIM is SNMP-manageable and can be installed into the modular,
SNMP-manageable iMediaChassis, as well as the MediaChassis series, which are
unmanaged.
Configuration Instructions
The iMcV-LIM has user-configurable features (e.g., FiberAlert (FA), TX LinkLoss
(TXLL), FX LinkLoss (FXLL), Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) and Far End Fault (FEF)).
Refer to the iMcV-Module DIP Switch configuration table for information on available
features. Instructions for configuring both managed (via an SNMP-compatible
management application like iView²) and unmanaged modules follow.
Installing an iMcV-Modules
The iMcV-Modules install in IMC Networks’ SNMP manageable iMediaChassis series
or in any MediaChassis.
NOTE
All modules are hot-swappable.
To install an iMcV-Module:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Remove the blank bracket covering the slot where the module is to be installed
by removing the screws on the outside edges of the bracket.
Slide the iMcV-Modules into the chassis, via the cardguides, until the module is
seated securely in the connector.
Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw.
Save any “blanks” removed during installation for future use if the configuration
requirements change.

Managed Modules
To manage one or more iMcV-LIM(s), an SNMP agent must be present in the chassis.
To configure Managed Modules, install the module first, and then configure using the
management software.
Fiber type, serial number and date code are now loaded into the 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
For iMcV-LIM modules without Configuration Control, management software overrides any
hardware settings (e.g., jumper, switch, etc.); a module must be configured so that it will be
managed via the software.
iMcV-LIM and Configuration Control
The iMcV-LIM with SFP offers Configuration Control; a label on the front faceplate
identifies the unit as such. Configuration Control has been implemented to assist the
end user by retaining the latest configuration regardless of how that configuration was
implemented (via DIP Switch settings or SNMP).
Historically, SNMP would override DIP Switch settings. If changes are made via DIP
Switch settings, then hardware settings determine the configuration of the board. If
changes are made to the module via iView
2
, the SNMP settings determine the
configuration of the board.
Utilizing Configuration Control, the end user has three conditions under which the
configuration of the iMcV-Module may be impacted:
•
Installing an iMcV-LIM into a chassis already loaded with iMcV-Modules or
replacing an iMcV-LIM
-
The iMcV-Module will transfer its saved configurations. The iMcV-LIM will
not override the module’s configuration.
•
Replacing the same type of iMcV-Module
-
If the DIP Switch settings are the same as the settings on the removed iMcV-
Module, the iMcV-LIM determines the configuration settings.
-
If the DIP Switch settings are different, then the configuration of the module
is determined by the DIP Switch settings. (The settings are forwarded to the
iMcV-LIM and the value is saved.)
•
Installing a new model of iMcV-Module
