ABOUT THE GIGA-MCBASIC- II

The Giga-McBasic-II provides two conversions between 10/100/1000 Base-T twisted pair and
100/1000 Base-SX/FX fiber. This device Auto Negotiates speed and duplex on the copper port and
the fiber 100/1000 Mbps, FDX. There is a fixed

The Giga-McBasic-II, SFP* is an SFP port-based model, includes two 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45
connectors and one SFP port, which is designed to support MSA-compliant 1000 or 100 Mbps SFPs.
A DIP Switch enables LFPT (Link Fault Pass-Through), a diagnostic feature for troubleshooting a
fault fiber and an SFP version available; both support jumbo frames up to 10240 MTU.

The Giga-McBasic-II, TX/FX is a fixed fiber transceiver model, includes two 10/100/100 Mbps RJ-45
connectors and one 1000Mbps SC fiber connector which can support Single Mode fiber or Multi
Mode fiber in Dual Strand or Single Strand fiber. A DIP Switch enables LFPT (Link Fault Pass­Through), a diagnostic feature for tro ubleshooting a fault condition on a segment.

condition on a segment. Each model will detect the SFP and run at the speed for which the SFP
was designed. SFPs can be purchased from B&B Electronics to accommodate Single Mode or Multi
Mode fiber in Dual Strand, and Single Strand fiber for Single Mode.

NOTE

all models.

INSTALLING THE GIGA-MCBASIC-II

The Giga-McBasic-II installs virtually anywhere : as a standalone, table-top device, or using a
Wallmount bracket.

HARDWARE MOUNTING

The IE-Giga-McBasic-II can be mounted on a DIN rail or using wal l mount brackets (sho wn below).

DIN rail clips (part number 806-39105) and wall mount brackets (part number 895-39229) are
available for purchase through a B&B Electronics Distributor.

POWERING THE GIGA-MCBASIC-II

The Giga-McBasic-II is powered via an industry standard IEC connector and will support 100 to 240
VAC. 50/60Hz.

2

LED OPERATION

Each Giga-McBasic-II includes a front LED stack. Functions are as follows:

FLT Glows red when a fault has been detected on the unit

LNK Glows green with a valid link

1000 Mbps Glows green when is running at 1000Mbps

PWR Glows green when unit is powered

3

Each Giga-McBasic-II includes two LEDs, located on the RJ-45 connector. LED functions are as
follows:

LNK/ACT Glows green with a valid link

Blinks green when activity is detected

FDX Glows amber when port is running full duplex

4

LFPT

The Giga-McBasic-II includes a LFPT DIP Switch, located on the front of the unit. DIP Switch
functions are as follows:

Switch Up LFPT ON

Switch
Down

LFPT OFF

Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) is a troubleshooting feature that combines TX and FX
LinkLoss from both the local and remote Giga-McBasic-II, TX-FX/SFP modules. LFPT is
enabled by turning on the DSW on both modules. This feature allows either end of the
conversion to detect a link fault occurring at the other end of the media conversion chain. On the
GigaMcBasic- II , LFPT is supported on the connector closest to the dip switch.

5

Regardless if there is a break in segment 1, 2 or 3, the link will drop on the switches at both
ends. The link fault is passed through the media conversion and is observed at each end. It acts
just like it would if the devices were directly connected. Note that dropping link on the
supported copper port will disable the fiber port. This will in turn break the connection from the
other copper port to the fiber port.

LOW SPD SWITCH ON THE SFP VERSION

The SFP version of the Giga-McBasic-II supports a LOW SPD DIP Switch. If a gigabit SFP is
installed in the SFP port, by setting the switch to the ON position, it will force the SFP to
operate at 100Mbps. This DSW setting is only for the model offering a Fiber SFP port; it is not
available on models with fixed fiber ports.

Switch ON SFP forced to 100Mbps

Switch OFF SFP not forced

FIBER OPTIC CLEANING GUIDELINES

Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles of
dirt or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation. Good system
performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules.

1. Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only from a reputable
supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose problems in an installation.

2. Dust caps are installed at B&B Electronics to ensure factory-clean optical devices. These
protective ca ps should not be rem oved until the momen t of connecting the f iber cable to the
device. Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective dust caps.

3. Store spare caps in a d ust-free envi ronment such as a sealed plastic bag or box so that when
reinstalled they do not introduce any contamination to the optics.

4. If you suspect that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between blasting with clean,
dry, compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove particles of dirt.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PRECAUTIONS

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to any product, add-in modules or standalone
units, containing electronic components. Always observe the following precautions when installing
or handling these kinds of products

1. Do not remove unit from its pr otective packaging until ready to install.

2. Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component. If the wrist
strap is not available, maintain grounded contact with the system unit throughout any
procedure requiring ESD protection.

3. Hold the units by the edges; do not touch the electronic components or gold connectors.

4. After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface, ESD pad or in a
proper ESD bag. Do not slide the modules or standalone units over any surface.

Integrated circuits and fiber optic
components are extremely susceptible to
electrostatic discharge damage. Do not handle
