About FiberLinX TX/FX
FiberLinX TX/FX™
from IMC Networks is a
SNMP-manageable networking device for provi-
sioning point-to-point fiber optic connections
between two locations. The primary advantage
of FiberLinX TX/FX is End-to-End management,
which allows the device administrator to moni-
tor the fiber run between the head-end and
remote site as a single entity, not as two sepa-
rate locations. FiberLinX allows the device
administrator to manage the remote unit without having access to the
remote site, allowing the administrator to remain isolated and completely
transparent to the customer network and data traffic.
A FiberLinX TX/FX Module
Installation Instructions
Installing a FiberLinX TX/FX Module involves the following steps: 1) con-
figuring the FiberLinX TX/FX Module via its eight-position DIP switches for
SNMP-Management and mode configuraiton, 2) designation of the man-
agement traffic port, 3) configuration of host/remote or standalone opera-
tion and auto-negotiation; along with the installation of the FiberLinX
TX/FX module into a PowerChassis/101 or /113 (not for use with
PowerChassis/1, /2 or /12).
DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
Before installing FiberLinX TX/FX into a PowerChassis, you must config-
ure the eight-position DIP switch, located at positions S1 and S3 (shown
on the following page), for configuring the module.

DIP Switch Location on FiberLinX TX/FX (default settings shown)
The following table shows the function for each of the eight DIP switch-
es on FiberLinX TX/FX. Refer to the following pages for specific configura-
tion information for each function.
CONFIGURING FIBERLINX TX/FX AS A HOST,
R
EMOTE OR STANDALONE UNIT
When two FiberLinX TX/FX units are paired with one another, each
FiberLinX TX/FX unit can be configured to be either a
Host
unit or a
Remote
unit.
As a Host, FiberLinX TX/FX requests management information from any
attached remote unit and displays that information, along with its own,
upon SNMP query. As a Remote, FiberLinX TX/FX will not respond to
requests for management information from an attached unit. In single
installation, the sole FiberLinX TX/FX should be configured as standalone
unit (factory default). The table on the following page shows the possible
DIP switch settings. Please see page 10 of this guide for possible installa-
tions and their related Host, Remote and standalone DIP switch settings.
