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 single-
mode fiber
• 1000Base-T twisted pair and 1000Base-SX/LX multi-mode or single-
mode fiber.
LED and Port Operation
The LED functions for the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX are as follows:
PWR Glows green when powered.
1000 Glows green when functioning at 1000 Mbps.
100 Glows green when functioning at 100 Mbps.
10 Glows amber when functioning at 10 Mbps.
LNK/ACT
• Glows green when a link is established.
• Blinks green when data activity occurs.
(This is true for both LNK/ACT LEDs.)
FDX
• Glows amber when in Full-Duplex mode.
• Blinks amber when operating in Half-Duplex
mode and when collisions occur.
FA Glows green when FiberAlert is enabled.
TX LL Glows green when TX LinkLoss is enabled.
LNK/ACT
• Glows green when a link is established.
• Blinks green when data activity occurs.
MASTER Glows amber when in Master mode.
The twisted pair port on the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX includes AutoCross, a
feature which automatically selects between a crossover workstation or
pass-through connection depending on the connected device.

Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines
Fiber optic equipment is extremely susceptible to contamination by particles
of dirt or dust which can obstruct the optics and cause performance degrada-
tion. Good system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules.
1) Only use fiber patch cords (or connectors) from a reputable supplier; low-
quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose problems.
2) IMC Networks installs dust caps to ensure factory-clean optical devices.
These protective caps should not be removed until the moment of con-
necting the fiber cable to the device. Assure that the fiber is properly ter-
minated, polished and free of any dust or dirt and that the location is as
free from dust and dirt as possible.
3) Store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or
box so reinstalled caps do not introduce any contamination to the optics.
4) Reinstall the protective caps when disconnecting the fiber device.
5) To clean contaminated optics, alternate between blasting with clean, dry,
compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove particles of dirt.

WARNING
Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are extremely susceptible to electro-
static discharge damage. Only qualified service technicians using tools and tech-
niques comforming to accepted industry practices should handle these components.
