DIP-switch Denitions
SW1 and SW2: F/O Speed “100/1000” DIP-switch
The OmniConverter supports 1000BASE-X and 100BASE-FX SFPs. These
DIP-switches are used to congure the unit for the speed of the installed SFPs.
Setting these DIP-switches to the Down “1000” position enables the ber port to
Page 4
accept 1000BASE-X SFPs. Setting these DIP-switches to the Up “100” position
enables the ber port to accept 100BASE-FX SFPs.
When an RJ-45 transceiver is installed in a SFP receptacle or for xed ber
models, setting this DIP-switch to Up “100” position enables the port to operate at
100Mbps*.
These DIP-switches are ignored when using Omnitron branded ber SFPs. The
OmniConverter automatically congures the ber port to the correct speed.
*Special compatibility mode for the xed ber models only.

In auto-negotiation mode, setting this DIP-switch to the Up “On” position allows the
unit to advertise Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Pause capability. In auto-negotiation
mode, setting the DIP-switch to the Down “Off” position allows the unit to advertise
no Pause capability. In the manual mode, this DIP-switch determines the Pause
behavior.
SW7 - Power Sourcing Function, UTP Port
The OmniConverter automatically detects the attached PD and provides the
equipment with the necessary power.
This DIP-switch controls the power sourcing function for Port 2 on the single-ber
models and Port 3 on all other models (see DIP-switch Denition table on page
4). When this DIP-switch in the Down “On” position, the power sourcing function
is enabled. When the DIP-switch is in the Up “Off” position, the power sourcing
function is disabled.

DIP-switch is in the “Off” UP position, the power sourcing function is disabled.
SW9, SW10 and SW11 - Power Sourcing Options
The UTP ports can be congured to support different powering options. The
powering options include Alternative A (supporting power on pins 1,2 and 3,6),
Alternative B (supporting power on pins 4,5 and 7,8), legacy Power Devices (PDs)
that use large capacitance for detection (supporting pins 4,5 and 7,8) and legacy
VoIP phones (supporting reverse polarity on pins 4,5 and 7,8).

SW12 and SW13 - Link Modes
The OmniConverter supports Link Segment and Asymmetrical Link Propagate. See
Appendix A for Link Mode block diagrams.
Link Segment
In Link Segment mode, all ports operate independently. A loss of a receive link
signal will only affect the port detecting the loss of signal. All the other ports will
continue to generate a link signal. A loss of link on the UTP port will only affect the
UTP port, and the other ports will remain unaffected.
Asymmetrical Link Propagate
In Asymmetrical Link Propagate mode, faults are propagated based on the port
notation. Port 1 to Port 2 notation indicates the direction the loss of link signal will
propagate. A loss of receive link on the ber optic Port 1 causes the UTP Port 2 to
drop its link due to the propagated state (Port 1 to Port 2). The loss of link on the
Page 7
Page 5
UTP Port 2 does not cause the loss of link to propagate. The loss only propagates
in the Port 1 to Port 2 direction. See Port Congurations on Page 3.
Note: A loss of link or loss of signal is when the optical receiver on the media converter
can no longer detect the presence of an optic signal.
Note: On models with 2 ber ports or 2 UTP ports, both ports of the same media type
must be in link fault condition before the fault will propagate.

Link Modes
SW14 - Power Sourcing Reset
The OmniConverter can be congured to disable (reset) the PoE output power for 2
seconds after a loss of receive link on any ber port. This feature is typically used
to allow a PD to re-initialize after a failure on the incoming ber. When this DIP-
switch is in the Up “Lk Loss” position, the module will disable PoE output power for
2 seconds following a loss of receive link on any ber port. When this DIP-switch
is in the Down position, PoE output power does not reset on ber link loss.
SW15 and SW16 - Port Redundant Mode
SW15 and SW16 are valid on models with 2 ber ports only. Port redundancy is
available when connected to another Omnitron device with 2 ber ports that supports
port redundancy.
SW15 controls the port redundancy mode of the module. When SW15 is in the Down
“Off” (default) position, the ber ports operate in a non-redundant (independent)
mode. When SW15 is in the Up “On” position, the ber ports operate as redundant
links. A fault on the primary ber port (Port 1), will cause a fail over to the secondary
ber port (Port 2) within 50msec.
SW16 enables the module to return to the primary ber port (Port 1) after the ber
link has been restored for 6 seconds. When SW16 is in the Down “Off” position,
return to primary is disabled (inactive). When the SW16 is in the Up “On” position,
return to primary is enabled.

2) Apply AC Power
To power the unit using the AC/DC adapter, connect the AC/DC adapter to the
AC outlet. Route the power cord through the provided strain relief for additional
support. Then connect the barrel plug at the end of the wire on the AC/DC adapter
to the 2.1mm DC barrel connector (center-positive) on the unit. Conrm that the
unit has powered up properly by checking the Power LED located on the front of
the installed module.
Installation of the equipment should be such that the air ow in the front, back, side
and top vents of the chassis are not compromised or restricted.
If the installation requires NEBS grounding, secure the grounding wire to the ground
lug. See the gure below for the location of the grounding lug.

3) Apply DC Power
Power source should be available within 5 ft. of the chassis. The over current
protection for connection with centralized DC shall be provided in the building
installation, and shall be a UL listed circuit breaker rated 20 Amps, and installed
per the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70.
If PoE, this equipment requires 46 to 57VDC @ 1.5Amp max rated power. If
PoE+, this equipment requires 52 to 57VDC @ 1.5Amp max rated power (see
Specication table for specic model requirements). Appropriate overloading
protection should be provided on the DC power source outlets utilized.
WARNING: OnlyaDC power source that complies with
safety extra low voltage (SELV) requirements can be
connected to the DC-input power supply.
WARNING REGARDING EARTHING GROUND:
o
o
o
o
This equipment shall be connected to the DC supply
system earthing electrode conductor or to a bonding
jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to which the
DC supply system earthing electrode is connected.
This equipment shall be located in the same immediate
area (such as adjacent cabinets) as any other equipment
that has a connection between the earthed conductor of
the same DC supply circuit and the earthing conductor,
and also the point of earthing of the DC system. The DC
system shall not be earthed elsewhere.
The DC supply source is to be located within the same
premises as this equipment.
There shall be no switching or disconnecting devices in
the earthed circuit conductor between the DC source and
the earthing electrode conductor.
Locate the DC circuit breaker of the external power source, and switch the
circuit breaker to the OFF position.
Prepare a power cable using a three conductor insulated wire (not supplied)
with a 14 AWG gauge minimum. Cut the power cable to the length required.
Strip approximately 3/8 of an inch of insulation from the power cable wires.
Route the power cables through the provided strain relief for additional support.
Connect the power cables to the OmniConverter by fastening the stripped ends
to the DC power connector.
WARNING: Note the wire colors used in making the positive, negative and
ground connections. Use the same color assignment for the connection at the
circuit breaker.

4) Connect Cables
a. When using the SFP model, insert the SFP Fiber transceiver into the SFP
receptacle on the front of the module (see the SFP Data Sheet 091-17000-001
for supported Gigabit and Fast Ethernet transceivers).
NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver must be in the closed
(up) position before insertion.
b. Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode ber cable to the ber port
on the front of the 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. When using single-ber (SF) models, the
TX wavelength must match the RX wavelength at the other end and the RX
wavelength must match the TX wavelength at the other end.
c. Connect the Ethernet 10/100/1000 UTP port via a Category 5 or better cable
to an external 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet device.
