The iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm Series are SNMP manageable modules that
convert copper-based circuits (T1/E1/J1) to a single-mode or multi-mode
fiber signal, extending the distance of data transmissions over networks
up to 80 km. The iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm converters are perfect for
service providers and enterprise campus networks utilizing T1/E1/J1
copper lines.
The iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm SFP requires one MSA compliant fiber optic
SFP module (sold separately) to operate. Copper SFPs are not
supported. IMC Networks offers a full range of compatible SFPs. For
more information, go to the IMC Networks SFP product page.
Line Termination Functionality
This module performs the standard "Line Termination" (GR-820-CORE)
function of TDM-based line signals. This function transmits an Alarm
Indication Signal (AIS) on the line whenever a received signal is lost.
Line faults can easily be isolated to one line section and do not
propagate over multiple-line sections as they do with normal line
repeaters.
Hot-Swappable
Hot-swappable, iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm modules significantly reduce
operation costs by allowing other modules within the same conversion
chassis to remain up and running during network upgrades and
maintenance. iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm modules install in any iMediaChassis
or MediaChassis series.
Convenient DIP Switch Configuration
This converter series features a protocol-selectable operation to
easily choose between T1/J1 and E1 rates via DIP switches located on the
board. In addition, a DTE/DCE switch is conveniently located on the
front of the unit to simplify cable connections.
Powerful Testing and Troubleshooting Features
To aid in network testing and troubleshooting, the T1/E1/J1-LineTerm
features three different loopback test modes: copper loopback, fiber
loopback and internal fiber loopback, to allow easy isolation of cable
faults. The module also features a Transmit Data Source diagnostic tool
which allows operators to choose from three specific patterns of data to
identify transmission problems: transmit unframed all ones, transmit a
pattern of alternating ones and zeros, and transmit a Pseudorandom Bit
Sequence. In addition, the modules have built-in PRBS signal receivers,
to simplify testing. All test modes are configurable remotely via iView˛
SNMP software or locally through DIP switches on the units.
Easy Remote Management and Configuration
The iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm is easy to install, configure and manage
with the iView˛ SNMP application software, or with any other SNMP
application such as HP OpenView™. iView˛ runs: standalone on Windows
NT/XP/2000 or as a Web Server running under IIS. The advantage of remote
management allows the network manager to monitor, configure and
troubleshoot units located at the customer site without having to access
the remote network. Furthermore, because the remote management
technology is not in-band, the T1/E1/J1 converters transmit data at full
bit rate while remaining transparent to data channels.
iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm modules are deployed in pairs (one at each end
of a fiber line). The data transmitted on the fiber ports can only be
received and interpreted by another iMcV-T1/E1/J1-LineTerm unit.
IMC Networks also offers an iMcV-T1/E1/J1 without the “Line
Termination” functionality, operating more as a traditional repeater.
