Configuring the iMcV-PSE-MidSpan with iView²

The PSE-MidSpan, when installed in a managed chassis, is configurable through
iView² software. To configure the PSE-MidSpan, open the iView2 software and select
the chassis in which the PSE-MidSpan has been installed. When Auto Discovery
detects the chassis and identifies the PSE-MidSpan, select it to configure or monitor
the modules. Software settings always override hardware settings, so DIP Switch
settings should be set to match the configuration in the Graphic User Interface
(GUI).

The screen that appears will show the PSE-MidSpan’s LEDs and settings. The LEDs
appear on the left, showing the LEDs as they are displayed on the PSE-MidSpan. The
settings, on the right, appear as follows:

Module Number


Module Type

Data Port

POE Data Port

This displays the slot number in which the PSE-MidSpan has
been installed.

This space displays the type of module inserted in this slot.
The PSE-MidSpan will appear with the name “iMcV
MidSpan”.

Use this field to enter a name for the device connected to
the Data Port. Click the Save Changes button to save this
name.

Enter a name for the device connected to this port in the
Description field. Then, enable or disable the POE function
from the drop-down menu beneath. Click the Save
Changes button to save this information to iView².

Installation Troubleshooting

• 0 (Zero) Current LED will glow red when the PSE module is either not

connected to a PD device or an over current condition occurs. Be sure
the iMcV-MidSpan is connected to a valid PD device.


In a 20-slot iMediaChassis-AC, the number of modules cannot exceed
11. Overloading the chassis with more than 11 can overload and
possibly damage the chassis.
