Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Welcome
Thank you for choosing IMC-1000M(S) Industrial Gigabit Ethernet OAM/IP Web Smart Media Converter. Throughout this document, the
two different models of this family will be referred to as IMC-1000MS or in an abbreviated form as just 1000MS. If you would like to skip right to
the installation of the industrial grade converter, proceed to Chapter 2.
This manual is used to explain the hardware installation procedures and operation of IMC-1000MS, and present its capabilities and
specifications. This manual is divided into 3 chapters, the Introduction, Installation, and Provisioning Chapters.
Installers should carefully read the Chapters 1&2, Introduction and Installation. The divisions in that manual are intended for use by
personnel to answer questions in general areas. Planners and potential purchasers may read the Introduction to determine the suitability of the
product to its intended use; Operating Personnel would use the Web Based Management Chapters and Appendices to become familiar with
the settings. Network Administrators should read the chapters on Web Based Management and Trouble Shooting to become familiar with the
diagnostic capabilities, network settings and management strategies.
1.2 Product Description
IMC-1000MS is an industrial grade electrical to optical media converter for Gigabit Ethernet. There are two models, one with fixed optical
transceiver (1000M) and one supporting pluggable SFP transceiver (1000MS). These converters sport embedded stand-alone Web based
management over IP networks as well as IEEE802.3ah OAM for remote in-band management.
IMC-1000MS is an IEEE802.3ah OAM compliant copper to fiber Gigabit Ethernet solution housed in rugged DIN rail or wall mountable
enclosure. These converters are designed for harsh environments, such as industrial networking and intelligent transportation systems (ITS)
and are also suitable for many military and utility market applications where environmental conditions exceed commercial product
specifications. Standard operating temperature range models (-10 to 60°C) and wide operating temperature range models (-20 to 75°C) fulfill
the special needs of industrial automation applications. These devices are designed to make conversion between 10/100/1000Base-TX and
100/1000Base-FX with SC, ST connector (IMC-1000M) or SFP LC connector (IMC-1000MS). When deployed as a stand-alone solution, this
industrial media converter incorporates an easy to use Web user interface for operation, administration and maintenance of both local and
remotely connected IMC-1000MS converters. By offering 802.3ah OAM compliance, this converter can be linked to any 802.3ah compliant
fiber switch and support loop back and dying gasp functions. When used as a remote converter for our centrally controlled and managed
FRM220 managed rack, all functions of this converter can be remotely controlled and monitored via in-band management, including band-
width control, duplex, speed, VLAN configuration and more.
