POWER ADAPTER NOTICE:
1. This product should only be used with Black Box Supplied
Power Unit model numbers PWPB112511 [US] or
LMC203A [Universal].
2. When used in a standalone configuration, this product
must be used with a Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit
marked “Class 2” and rated at 9VDC, 1 Amp.
NOTE: If mounting with a safety ground attachment,
use the safety ground screw at the rear of the unit.
Page 1 Page 2 Page 3
NOTE: Remove safety ground screw when installing
the module in the 14-Module Chassis or when using
it with the DC-DC Converter (Model # LMC204A)
WARNING!
Before inserting the Power Adapter, verify
that the power on the unit is appropriate
for your AC line voltage source.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1.) Configure the appropriate FlexPoint Triple Speed DIPSwitch settings.
2.) Connect the UTP port via a Category 5 or better cable
to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet
device.
3.) When using fixed fiber port models, connect the
appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the
fiber port of the installed module. It is important to ensure
that the transmit (Tx) is attached to the receive side of the
device at the other end and the receive (Rx) is attached to
the transmit side.
4.) When using the SFP model, insert the SFP Fiber
transceiver into the Port 1 SFP receptacle on the Triple
Speed.
NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver
must be in the closed (up) position before insertion.
Connect the appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber
cable to the fiber port of the installed module.
LOOPBACK
The FlexPoint Triple Speed has the capability to provide
loopback to aid in installation and maintenance. A DIPswitch is used to enable loopback on the module (see
page 6). Figure 1 shows the module in normal and loopback
modes.
Figure 1: Loopback Mode
LINK MODES
In order to accommodate different user needs, the Triple
Speed supports four different link modes (see Fig. 2).
In Link Segment (LS), a port transmits a Link signal
independently of any received Link at any other port. For
example, the UTP transmits a Link regardless of the fiber
receiving a Link [Fig. 2(a) & (b)].
In Link Propagate (LP), a port transmits a Link signal only
when receiving a Link at its other port. For example, the
UTP transmits a Link only when receiving a Link at the
fiber port [Fig. 2(c)].
In Remote Fault Detection + Link Segment (RFD+LS),
the fiber port transmits a Link signal only when receiving
a Link at the fiber port. As a result, fiber faults (no Link
received at the fiber) are looped-back and can be reported
to the network core [Fig. 2(d)].
In Remote Fault Detection + Link Propagate (RFD+LP),
the UTP port transmits a Link signal only when receiving
a Link at the fiber port. The fiber port transmits a Link
signal only when receiving Link signals at both the fiber
port and the UTP port. As a result, fiber faults (no Link
received at the fiber) are propagated forward and looped
back for fault reporting at both the network core and the
customer location [Fig. 2(e)].
NOTE: Connecting two converters with both set to RFD
mode is not supported and will cause a “deadly embrace”
lockup.

DIP-SWITCHES
F/O Manual/Auto “Man/AN” DIP-Switch
Setting this DIP-Switch to Auto-Negotiate “AN” (factory
setting) enables the fiber port to determine duplex mode
automatically.
If the connected device cannot provide the proper signal
to indicate its own mode of operation, set this DIP-Switch
to Manual “MAN.” This feature allows connections with
legacy manual negotiation devices that do not support
auto-negotiation.
NOTE: When the fiber port is configured for Manual
Mode, a link may not occur with the connected device.
Configure both devices to Manual mode to establish
a link.
F/O Speed “100/1000” DIP-Switch:
The Triple Speed supports 100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-X
SFPs. This DIP-switch is used to configure the unit for
the speed of SFP used. Setting this DIP-switch to “1000”
enables the fiber port is accept 1000BASE-X SFPs. Setting
this DIP-switch to “100” enables the fiber port to accept
100BASE-FX SFPs.
UTP Configuration DIP-Switches:
See the UTP Modes table on page 7.
Pause “On/Off” DIP-Switch:
In auto-negotiation mode, setting this DIP-switch to “On”
allows the unit to advertise as Symmetrical and
Asymmetrical Pause capability . In auto-negotiation mode,
setting the DIP-switch to “Off” causes the unit to advertise
no Pause capability. In the manual mode, this DIP-switch
determines the Symmetrical Pause behavior.
Loopback “Off/On” DIP-Switch:
Setting this DIP-switch “On” enables loopback on the
fiber and UTP ports (see Figure 1).
Link Modes:
See the following table for configuring link modes:

"LS/LP"
LS Normal Enables Link Segment mode (LS).
LP Normal Enables Link Propagate mode (LP).

Enables Remo te F a ult Det e ct i on mod e pl us
Link Propagation mode (RFD+LP).
NOTE: RFD is only available when the fiber port is
operating in manual mode.
REMOTE FAULT
Each port will generate an “IEEE remote_fault indicator”
when the incoming signal to the port is lost. When a port
is configured for auto-negotiation, it will set the remote
fault bit “high” in the AN advertisement when the port
detects a loss of incoming signal. See LED Indicators
table on page 8 for specifics on how the unit reports the
detection of this signal.
When the fiber port is operating in 100BASE-FX, a loss of
incoming signal will cause the port to generate a Far-EndFault indicator pattern. See LED Indicators table on page
8 for specifics on how the unit reports the detection of
this signal.

the module in the 14-Module Chassis or when using
it with the DC-DC Converter (Model # LMC204A)
WARNING!
Before inserting the Power Adapter, verify
that the power on the unit is appropriate
for your AC line voltage source.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1.) Configure the appropriate FlexPoint Triple Speed DIPSwitch settings.
2.) Connect the UTP port via a Category 5 or better cable
to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet
device.
3.) When using fixed fiber port models, connect the
appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the
fiber port of the installed module. It is important to ensure
that the transmit (Tx) is attached to the receive side of the
device at the other end and the receive (Rx) is attached to
the transmit side.
4.) When using the SFP model, insert the SFP Fiber
transceiver into the Port 1 SFP receptacle on the Triple
Speed.
NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver
must be in the closed (up) position before insertion.
Connect the appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber
cable to the fiber port of the installed module.
LOOPBACK
The FlexPoint Triple Speed has the capability to provide
loopback to aid in installation and maintenance. A DIPswitch is used to enable loopback on the module (see
page 6). Figure 1 shows the module in normal and loopback
modes.

Figure 1: Loopback Mode
LINK MODES
In order to accommodate different user needs, the Triple
Speed supports four different link modes (see Fig. 2).
In Link Segment (LS), a port transmits a Link signal
independently of any received Link at any other port. For
example, the UTP transmits a Link regardless of the fiber
receiving a Link [Fig. 2(a) & (b)].
In Link Propagate (LP), a port transmits a Link signal only
when receiving a Link at its other port. For example, the
UTP transmits a Link only when receiving a Link at the
fiber port [Fig. 2(c)].
In Remote Fault Detection + Link Segment (RFD+LS),
the fiber port transmits a Link signal only when receiving
a Link at the fiber port. As a result, fiber faults (no Link
received at the fiber) are looped-back and can be reported
to the network core [Fig. 2(d)].
In Remote Fault Detection + Link Propagate (RFD+LP),
the UTP port transmits a Link signal only when receiving
a Link at the fiber port. The fiber port transmits a Link
signal only when receiving Link signals at both the fiber
port and the UTP port. As a result, fiber faults (no Link
received at the fiber) are propagated forward and looped
back for fault reporting at both the network core and the
customer location [Fig. 2(e)].
NOTE: Connecting two converters with both set to RFD
mode is not supported and will cause a “deadly embrace”
lockup.

DIP-SWITCHES
F/O Manual/Auto “Man/AN” DIP-Switch
Setting this DIP-Switch to Auto-Negotiate “AN” (factory
setting) enables the fiber port to determine duplex mode
automatically.
If the connected device cannot provide the proper signal
to indicate its own mode of operation, set this DIP-Switch
to Manual “MAN.” This feature allows connections with
legacy manual negotiation devices that do not support
auto-negotiation.
NOTE: When the fiber port is configured for Manual
Mode, a link may not occur with the connected device.
Configure both devices to Manual mode to establish
a link.
F/O Speed “100/1000” DIP-Switch:
The Triple Speed supports 100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-X
SFPs. This DIP-switch is used to configure the unit for
the speed of SFP used. Setting this DIP-switch to “1000”
enables the fiber port is accept 1000BASE-X SFPs. Setting
this DIP-switch to “100” enables the fiber port to accept
100BASE-FX SFPs.
UTP Configuration DIP-Switches:
See the UTP Modes table on page 7.
Pause “On/Off” DIP-Switch:
In auto-negotiation mode, setting this DIP-switch to “On”
allows the unit to advertise as Symmetrical and
Asymmetrical Pause capability . In auto-negotiation mode,
setting the DIP-switch to “Off” causes the unit to advertise
no Pause capability. In the manual mode, this DIP-switch
determines the Symmetrical Pause behavior.

Loopback “Off/On” DIP-Switch:
Setting this DIP-switch “On” enables loopback on the
fiber and UTP ports (see Figure 1).

Enables Remo te Fault Detecti o n mod e plus
Link Propagation mode (RFD+LP).
NOTE: RFD is only available when the fiber port is
operating in manual mode.
REMOTE FAULT
Each port will generate an “IEEE remote_fault indicator”
when the incoming signal to the port is lost. When a port
is configured for auto-negotiation, it will set the remote
fault bit “high” in the AN advertisement when the port
detects a loss of incoming signal. See LED Indicators
table on page 8 for specifics on how the unit reports the
detection of this signal.
When the fiber port is operating in 100BASE-FX, a loss of
incoming signal will cause the port to generate a Far-EndFault indicator pattern. See LED Indicators table on page
8 for specifics on how the unit reports the detection of
this signal.
