FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A 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 A
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 A
prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

About the iMcV-Gigabit
The SNMP manageable iMcV-Gigabit module provides a single conversion between
1000 Base-T twisted pair and 1000 Base-SX/LX fiber. Each iMcV-Gigabit includes
one RJ-45 connector and one pair of SC fiber optic connectors. iMcV-Gigabit
modules install into any modular, SNMP manageable iMediaChassis, as well as the
MediaChassis series, which is unmanaged.
The iMcV-Gigabit is also available in a single-strand fiber version that allows two
wavelengths to share one fiber strand—Full-Duplex data travels on different
wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm)—doubling the capacity of fiber. Also, one RJ-
45 connector and one SC fiber connector are included.
NOTE
All iMcV-Gigabit modules, including 1300 nm multi-mode and 1310 nm single-mode (TX/LX),
850 nm multi-mode fiber (TX/SX) and single-strand versions (TX/SSLX) will be referred to as
iMcV-Gigabit throughout this guide except where differences need to be indicated.
Configuration Instructions
iMcV-Gigabit Modules have user-configurable features. Refer to the matrix for
configuring both managed (via an SNMP compatible management application such as
iView²) and unmanaged iMcV-Gigabit modules.
Managed Modules
To manage one or more iMcV-Gigabit Modules, an SNMP agent must be present in
the chassis: The iMediaChassis series requires an SNMP Management Module. To
configure Managed Modules, install the module first, and then configure using the
management software. Refer to the iView² for MediaConverters online help file for
additional information.
NOTE
If the module is going to be managed via the software management, configuration settings
will override any hardware DIP Switch settings.
