Indicadores LED
The IMC-101G is equipped with several LED indicators to provide real-time status information:
| Nome LED | Estado | Descrición |
|---|---|---|
| PWR1 | On | Power input 1 is active. |
| Desactivado | Power input 1 is inactive. | |
| PWR2 | On | Power input 2 is active. |
| Desactivado | Power input 2 is inactive. | |
| FALTA | On | System fault or port break detected. |
| Desactivado | No system fault. | |
| 1000M (G2) | On | SFP port (G2) has a 1000 Mbps link. |
| Parpadeante | SFP port (G2) is transmitting/receiving data. | |
| G1 (Link/Act) | On | RJ45 port (G1) has an active link. |
| Parpadeante | RJ45 port (G1) is transmitting/receiving data. | |
| 100M (G1) | On | RJ45 port (G1) has a 100 Mbps link. |
| 10M (G1) | On | RJ45 port (G1) has a 10 Mbps link. |
Configuración
Montaxe en carril DIN
The IMC-101G is designed for DIN-rail mounting. To install, attach the DIN-rail kit (if not pre-attached) to the rear of the device using the provided screws. Then, snap the device onto a standard 35mm DIN rail by hooking the top edge of the DIN rail into the slot on the mounting kit and pushing the bottom edge until it clicks into place.
Requisitos de cableado
Cableado de entrada de enerxía
Connect the power inputs to a suitable DC power source using the terminal block. The device supports redundant power inputs (PWR1 and PWR2) for enhanced reliability. Ensure the power supply voltage is within the specified range for the IMC-101G.
Conexión de porto Ethernet
- Copper Port (G1): Connect your 10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet device (e.g., switch, PC) to the RJ45 port labeled G1 using a standard Ethernet cable.
- Fiber Port (G2): Insert a compatible 1000BaseSFP module into the SFP slot labeled G2. Once the SFP module is securely in place, connect your fiber optic cable to the SFP module. Ensure the fiber type (SX, LX, LHX, ZX) matches the SFP module and your network requirements.
Instrucións de funcionamento
Once the IMC-101G is powered on and all network cables are connected, the device will automatically establish a link between the copper and fiber ports. Monitor the LED indicators (PWR1, PWR2, G1, G2, 1000M, 100M, 10M) to confirm proper operation and link status.
Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT)
The IMC-101G supports Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT). This feature ensures that if a link fails on one side of the media converter (e.g., the copper Ethernet connection), the link on the other side (the fiber optic connection) is also automatically brought down. This mechanism notifies connected devices of the fault, allowing for quicker network recovery and preventing data loss due to black holes.
Mantemento
Limpeza
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, as they may damage the components. Ensure the device is powered off before cleaning.
Actualizacións de firmware
Periodically check the official Moxa website for information on available firmware updates. Firmware updates can provide performance enhancements, new features, or bug fixes. Follow the instructions provided by Moxa carefully when performing any firmware update.
Resolución de problemas
Sen Poder
- Check all power connections to the terminal block.
- Ensure the power supply is active and providing the correct voltage.
- Verify that the PWR1 and/or PWR2 LEDs are illuminated. If not, check the power source.
Sen ligazón
- Copper Port (G1): Verify the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the IMC-101G and the connected device. Ensure the connected device is powered on and its Ethernet port is active. Check the G1 LED for link status.
- Fiber Port (G2): Ensure the SFP module is correctly inserted and compatible. Verify the fiber optic cable is properly connected and not damaged. Check the G2 and 1000M LEDs for link status. Ensure the fiber type (e.g., single-mode, multi-mode) matches the SFP module and the connected fiber device.
FAULT LED On
A lit FAULT LED indicates a system error or a port break detected by the Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) feature. Check all power inputs and network connections. If the issue persists, consult the full product manual on the Moxa website for specific fault codes and advanced troubleshooting steps.
