Warranty Table of Contents IMC Networks warrants to the original end-user purchaser that this product, EXCLUSIVE OF SOFTWARE, shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal and proper use in accordance with IMC Networks' instructions and directions for a period of six (6) years after the original date of purchase. This warranty is subject to the limitations set forth below.
About the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX The iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX™ is an SNMP-manageable, IEEE 802.3 10/100/1000 switching media converter that converts both speed and media. Each iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX module provides a single conversion between one of the following: • 10Base-T twisted pair and 1000Base-SX/LX multi-mode or single-mode fiber • 100Base-TX twisted pair and 1000Base-SX/LX multi-mode or singlemode fiber • 1000Base-T twisted pair and 1000Base-SX/LX multi-mode or singlemode fiber.
ABOUT LINK INTEGRITY During normal operation, link integrity pulses are transmitted by all point-to-point Ethernet devices. When an iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX receives valid link pulses, it knows that the device to which it is connected is up and sending pulses, and that the copper or fiber cable coming from that device is intact. The appropriate “LNK” (link) LED is lit to indicate this.
UNMANAGED MODULES Configure the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX for desired features before installing it inside a chassis. FORCING THE DUPLEX MODE The twisted pair port on the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX can be set to either Halfor Full-Duplex operation. Before manually setting the duplex mode, disable Auto-Negotiation by setting DIP Switch 1 to OFF. • The twisted pair port is configured for Full-Duplex by default, which is the OFF position on DIP Switch 2.
