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.

About the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS
iMcV-DS3/E3/STS is an SNMP-manageable module which converts thin coax
signals to single-mode or multi-mode fiber signals at a data rate of 45 Mbps (DS3),
34 Mbps (E3) or 52 Mbps (STS). Each iMcV-DS3/E3/STS, BNC/FX module
includes one pair of BNC connectors and one pair of ST or SC fiber optic
connectors. This module must be installed in either, an SNMP-manageable
iMediaChassis chassis or an unmanaged MediaChassis chassis.
Also available for single-strand fiber, iMcV-DS3/E3/STS, BNC/SSFX includes one
pair of BNC connectors and an SC fiber optic connector. iMcV-DS3/E3/STS,
BNC/SSFX modules allow two wavelengths, for example, (1310 nm and 1550 nm)
to share one fiber strand, essentially doubling the capacity of installed fiber.
iMcV-DS3/E3/STS modules must be deployed in pairs (one at each end of a
conversion). The data transmitted on the fiber ports can only be received and
interpreted by the receive fiber of another iMcV-DS3/E3/STS. The single strand
versions must have opposite transmit and receive wavelengths (for example one
that transmits at 1310 nm must be paired with another that receives at 1550 nm).
Configuration
Proper configuration of the iMcV-DS3/E3/STS is required for maximum
performance and reliability. The following sections describe the prerequisites and
the configurations available for both managed and unmanaged modules.
Prerequisites
The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS is designed to conform to many DS3/E3/STS-based
environments. Make sure that all of the relevant information about the expected
installation environment is available before configuring the module. This
information includes the following:
• Distance of the coax run
• Distance of the fiber run
• Troubleshooting requirements.
Managed Modules
To manage iMcV-DS3/E3/STS modules, an SNMP agent must be present; the
iMediaChassis requires an SNMP management module. For a managed
environment, first manually configure all of the desired DIP Switch selectable
features to match what will be configured through the SNMP Management
Module.
Use the Graphical User Interface (GUI) to enable features by using the iView
2
SNMP management software. In a managed chassis, the software settings take
priority over the SNMP enabled feature DIP Switch settings. Make sure that the
software settings match the desired configuration requirements for the installation.
iView² Management Software
iView² is the IMC Networks management software designed specifically for the
IMC Networks “iMcV” family of modules. It features a GUI and gives network
managers the ability to monitor and control the manageable IMC Networks
products.
iView² is available in several versions and can also function as a snap-in module
for HP OpenView Network Node Manager and other third party SNMP
Management software. For assistance in selecting the right version of iView² for
your operating system, please visit:
http://www.imcnetworks.com/products/iview2.cfm
iView
2
supports the following platforms:
•
•
•
Windows NT
Windows 2000
Windows XP
In addition, there are Java versions of iView² for any Java-capable operating
systems such as Linux.
Please see the
SNMP
Management Module for software configuration options.
NOTE
IMC Networks’ iView
2
software is available for downloading from the web site:
www.imcnetworks.com.
Unmanaged Modules
Before installing the module in an unmanaged chassis, including IE-MediaChassis
series and MediaChassis series, manually configure all of the desired DIP Switch
selectable features. In an unmanaged configuration, none of the DIP Switch
settings can be overridden by software.
