Advantech IMC-782-SFP Managed Modular Media Converter Quick Start Guide
Add to my manuals2 Pages
Advantech IMC-782-SFP is a high-performance media converter designed to transmit and receive data over fiber optic cables. It supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and features a number of advanced capabilities, including:
- VLAN support: The IMC-782-SFP can be configured to support up to 64 VLANs, allowing you to segment your network traffic and improve security.
- Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT): LFPT allows the IMC-782-SFP to detect and report link faults to other devices on the network, helping you to quickly troubleshoot and resolve network issues.
- SNMP management: The IMC-782-SFP can be managed using SNMP, allowing you to remotely monitor and configure the device.

Testing the Modules (Host/Remote)
Management Issues
Confirm that you have assigned the correct port to use for management (SNMP). This is done with the DIP switch.
When configured as pairs, one unit must be set for HOST and the other as REMOTE via DIP switches.
Confirm that you have SNMP services from the WIN CD installed.
The webserver version of iView2 to support this device.
Cable Type
A Cat 5 or higher Ethernet cable is required for the RJ-
45 port. Make sure that pins are not pulled out of the connector’s casing, which will cause damage to the media converter’s copper port.
PING Test
The SNMP DIP switch for the fiber optic port must be enabled for management and set to ON.
Using LFPT
When troubleshooting media converters, it is advisable to disable any diagnostic features such LFPT. Disable LFPT through the GUI or the CLI.

Connect Your Converter
• DATA: (RJ-45 port) Use a straight or crossover cable. You must use type CAT 5 cable or better.
• Optics: (Fiber Port) If using a duplex fiber cable, connect the Transmit port of one unit to the Receive port on the other.

Configure the Software
Download the iView² software and the instruction manual from our website.
Assign a valid IP address to the module(s) through the
Command Line Interface (CLI) or the software interface.
Configure the modules through the software. Many features can also be configured through the CLI.

Use the DB9-F Mini-Jack cable provided with the product for CLI connectivity. CLI is accessed through the Console interface provided at the top of the module..
LFPT, a diagnostic feature available to help troubleshoot a fault on any segment, can be configured through the iView² software or the CLI.

Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT)
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III has three ports: Data, Optics and Ext Management. LFPT can be enabled between can be configured between all three ports, but the main ports are Data and Optics.
For example, if LFPT is configured as “from” the Optics port “to” the Data port, both LEDs for those ports will turn off when a fault occurs on the Optics port.
The user can decide which port the fault will be reported to, based on which port should be in control. LFPT allows the fault to be reported down the line, through to the link partner at the end, such as a switch or a router.
LFPT can be used along with SNMP Traps for link up/link down. LFPT provides a visual way to determine that link is down, and an SNMP Trap provides a notification of a link down to a designated workstation.

VLANS
• Up to 64 VLAN IDs can be filtered.
• VLANs are available in all three Modes of Operation.
• Assigning a VLAN for Management traffic to separate it from DATA traffic is recommended, especially if you want to perform tests on the units.
