Gx Media Converter

User Manual

Page 1

DESCRIPTION:

The miConverter™ Gx converts between 1000BASE-T copper and 1000BASE-X Gigabit Ethernet fiber.

The fiber optic port supports Auto-negotiation and

Manual conguration via DIP-switches. The UTP port automatically detects and advertises the Duplex and Pause abilities of connected Gigabit ber optic and

UTP devices.

Page 2 Page 3

The 1000BASE-X ber port supports ST and SC ber connectors. Single-ber and dual ber models are listed in the table on the rst page of this manual.

WARNING!

Before inserting the Power Adapter, verify that the power on the unit is appropriate

for your AC line voltage source.

POWER ADAPTER NOTICE:

This product should only be used with Omnitron supplied

Power Supply model numbers 9113-PS, 9115-PS, 9116-PS-3, 9116-PS-4, 9116-PS-5 or 9116-PS-8.

When powering the miConverter Gx using the USB Power Adapter cable (P/N 9130-2), the cable must be connected to a Full-Powered USB Type-A port (5V,

500mA).

Note: Not all USB Type-A ports are Full-Powered USB ports. The Full-Powered USB Type-A ports are usually the USB ports found on computer cases or on self-powered (powered by an AC adapter) USB hubs.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:

1. Configure the appropriate miConverter Gx DIPswitch settings. If connecting to a ber optic device that is set to auto-negotiation mode, set the ber optic

Auto-negotiation/Manual “AN/Man” DIP-switch to

“AN.” If connecting to a ber optic device that is set to manual mode, set the ber optic “AN/Man” switch to

“Man” and the UTP DIP-switches to the settings of the connected devices.

2. Connect the UTP port to a 1000BASE-T Ethernet device using a Category 5 cable (or better).

3. Connect the ber optic port to a 1000BASE-X Gigabit

Ethernet device using a single-mode or multimode

ber cable (as appropriate). When connecting dual ber models, the miConverter Gx transmitter (Tx) must

attach to the receiver side of its link partner; the receiver

(Rx) must attach to the transmitter. When connecting single-ber (SF) models, the Tx wavelength on one end has to match the Rx wavelength on the other. Based on this guideline, the SF media converter models must be used in pairs, such as the 1210-2-x matched with the 1211-2-x.

4. Mount the miConverter Gx using the included Velcro® strips or optional wall-mounting bracket kit (P/N 1091-0).

5. Connect the appropriate power supply.

Fiber Optic Auto/Manual “AN/Man” DIP-switch:

Setting this DIP-switch to the Auto-negotiation “AN” (factory default) setting enables the ber optic port of the miConverter Gx to negotiate the Duplex and Pause

modes with the connected ber optic and UTP devices.

The miConverter Gx UTP port negotiates with the connected UTP device based on the modes detected

by the ber optic port. Both the miConverter Gx and the connected ber optic device must have their ber

optic auto-negotiation enabled for this process to work.

Setting this DIP-switch to the Manual “Man” setting disables the fiber optic port’s ability to detect the

Duplex and Pause modes of the connected fiber optic device. In this setting, the UTP port of the

miConverter Gx negotiates with the connected UTP

device based on the modes congured by the UTP

DIP-switches. This setting allows the miConverter

Gx to connect to Gigabit ber devices that are not

capable of auto-negotiation.

Note: In auto-negotiation mode, connecting the

ber optic cables before connecting the UTP cables causes the ber optic LED to blink steadily (0.5Hz).

The blinking LED turns solid when the UTP link is on and blinks quickly (10Hz) when activity is detected.

Page 5 Page 7 Page 8

Note: The UTP “FDX/HDX”, “Pause/No”, and “LS/LP” DIP-switches have no affect when the ber optic port is set to auto-negotiation.

UTP Full/Half Duplex “FDX/HDX” DIP-switch:

Setting this DIP-switch to “FDX” (factory default) allows the UTP port to negotiate to Full-Duplex. Setting this DIP-Switch to “HDX” forces the UTP port to negotiate only to Half-Duplex. These settings must be congured to match the settings of the connected ber

optic and UTP devices.

UTP Pause Enable/Disable “Pause/No” DIP-switch:

Setting this DIP-switch to “Pause” (factory default) allows the UTP port to negotiate to Symmetrical Pause. Setting this DIP-switch to “No” disables Pause. These

settings must be congured to match the settings of the connected ber optic and UTP devices.

Link Segment/Link Propagate “LS/LP” DIP-switch:

Setting this DIP-switch to “LS” (factory default) allows the generation and detection of link presence to occur

at each point-to-point segment. In this conguration,

the loss of a receive link on either port has no affect on

the other port’s ability to transmit a link. For example, if there is a loss of a receive link on the ber optic port, the UTP port continues to maintain its link [Link Mode A & B].

Page 6

Setting this DIP-switch to “LP” allows the link state to propagate from one port to the other port. In this conguration, the loss of a receive link on either port causes the transmit link of the opposite port to be

turned off. For example, a loss of a receive link on the ber optic port causes the UTP port to drop its link due to the propagated ber optic link state [Link Mode C].

This setting allows the loss of a link to be detected by SNMP or other managed network devices to which the

miConverter Gx is connected.

Note: Only the rst loss of a receive link detected by

the miConverter Gx turns off the other port’s transmit link. An additional loss of a receive link on the other port has no affect on the miConverter Gx. The miConverter Gx returns to normal operation when the

rst loss of a receive link is restored.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE:

Problem:

The Power LED does not illuminate after installation is complete.

A. Conrm that the miConverter Gx and the connected ber optic and UTP devices are set to auto-negotiation mode. If the connected ber device does not support

auto-negotiation, congure the miConverter to MAN mode.

B. Conrm that the UTP cables of the miConverter Gx and the connected ber optic and UTP devices are

properly connected. C. If two miConverter Gx converters are connected via

ber, conrm that both converters have their ber optic

ports set to auto-negotiate “AN” and their UTP ports connected to remote devices.

D. Conrm that the connected UTP and ber optic devices have the same Duplex/Pause capabilities.

Problem:

The UTP link LED does not illuminate after installation is complete.

Possible Causes: A. Conrm that the UTP cable is connected properly to the miConverter Gx and the attached UTP device. B. Conrm that the UTP cable pin-out is correct

(EIA/TIA-568-A).

C. Conrm that the attached UTP device is working properly and is capable of Gigabit Ethernet speed.

Note: If corrective actions do not resolve your situation, please contact Omnitron Systems

Possible Causes: A. Conrm that the power supply is connected. B. Conrm that the correct power supply is being used.

Problem:

The Fiber Optic link LED does not illuminate after installation is complete.

Possible Causes:

A. Confirm that the fiber optic cable is properly connected to the miConverter Gx and the remote ber optic device.

B. Conrm that the ber cable type matches the ber transceiver type (multimode, single-mode) on the miConverter Gx. C. If using a dual-ber model, conrm that the transmitter (Tx) is attached to the receiver side of its link partner, and that the receiver (Rx) is attached to the transmitter. D. If using a single-ber model, conrm that the Tx wavelength on the miConverter Gx matches the Rx of the connected ber optic device.

Problem:

The Fiber Optic link LED blinks slowly after installation is complete, indicating connected devices are not able to complete auto-negotiation.
