Preface
This manual describes how to install and use the Gigabit Ethernet Media
Converter. The Converter introduced here provides one channel media conversion
solution:
1000Base-T ↔ 1000Base-SX/LX (multi-mode/single-mode) with link-fault-pass-through function
1000Base-SX ↔ 1000Base-LX (multi-mode ↔ single-mode)
1000Base-LX ↔ 1000Base-LX (single-mode ↔ single-mode)
1000Base-T ↔ 1000Base-LX (WDM single-mode) with link-fault-pass-through function
1000Base-SX ↔ 1000Base-LX (multi-mode ↔ WDM single-mode)
1000Base-LX ↔ 1000Base-LX (WDM single-mode ↔ WDM single-mode)
The Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter fully complies with IEEE802.3ab 1000BaseT and IEEE802.3z 1000Base-SX/LX Gigabit Ethernet standards.

Introduction
The Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter provides one channel for media conversion
between 1) 1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX/LX with link-fault-pass-through function
or 2) 1000Base-SX/LX and 1000Base-LX. It can be used as a stand-alone device or
with a standard 19” chassis as shown below.
Product Overview

Product Features
y One-channel media conversion between:
1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX/LX, 1000Base-SX/LX and 1000Base-LX
y Fiber media allows either:
Multi-mode fiber, Single-mode fiber, or WDM Single-mode fiber
y Full wire-speed forwarding rate
y Front panel status LEDs
y Used as a stand-alone device or with a chassis
y Hot-swappable when used with a chassis
y Make sure to make a connection to the TX port before make a
connection to the fiber port, a link condition will be sensed on the fiber
port whenever the media converter detects a link condition on the TX
port
1000T ↔ 1000SX/LX Media Converter
y There are two pins on the DIP switch of the 1000Base-T and 1000Base-
SX/LX one-channel media converter:
♦ Toggle up the pin on the left-hand side to let the fiber port auto
detect duplex mode.
♦ Toggle down the pin on the left-hand side to force the fiber port to
full duplex mode.
♦ Toggle up the pin on the right-hand side to disable the link-fault-
pass-through function.
♦ Toggle down the pin on the right-hand side to enable the link-fault-
pass-through function.

each other via fiber port.
y The TX port auto detects duplex mode
y The TX port supports auto MDIX for uplink purpose
