OmniConverter GPoE+/Sx

User Manual

Product Overview

The OmniConverter GPoE+/Sx is an unmanaged Ethernet switch that features

one or two 1000BASE-X Gigabit ber ports and eight 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45

Power Sourcing Power-over-Ethernet (PoE and PoE+) ports. OmniConverter

GPoE+/Sx provides network distance extension with ber cabling, and function as

PoE injectors providing power to eight Powered Device (PDs) over standard UTP
cables that carry Ethernet data.

OmniConveter GPoE+/Sx 8-Port

The GPoE+/Sx is a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) that provides up to 30W
PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) per RJ-45 port and supports frame sizes up to 10,240 bytes.

The GPoE+/Sx automatically negotiates and delivers the power level required by its
Powered Device (PD) partner. When negotiating to PoE (IEEE 802.3af) it delivers
up to 15.4 Watts per RJ-45 port. When negotiating to PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) it delivers
up to 30 Watts per RJ-45 port.

Front Panel

The front of the GPoE+/Sx provides access to the RJ-45 PoE, SFP and Fixed-Fiber

ports. The SFP ports support 1000BASE-X SFP ber and 10/100/1000BASE-T

copper transceivers.

RJ-45 PoE, SFP and Fixed-Fiber Ports

The RJ-45 PoE Ethernet port supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T
protocols, auto-negotiation, auto MDI/MDI-X crossover and can be manually forced

to a specic speed and duplex mode.

The SFP interfaces support SERDES 1000BASE-X ber transceivers and SGMII

10/100/1000BASE-T copper transceivers. The SFP interfaces operate in auto­negotiation and support full duplex operation.

Fixed-ber 1000BASE-X connectors are available with multimode (MM) dual ber,
single-mode (SM) dual ber and single-mode single-ber (SF) options. They support

ST, SC and LC connectors.

Installation Procedure

1) Congure DIP-switches

2) Apply AC Power

3) Connect Cables

4) Verify Operation

1) Congure DIP-switches

DIP-switches are located on the side of the OmniConverter GPoE+/Sx. The

DIP-switches are used to congure modes of operation, networking features and

PoE reset.

SW1 and SW2: Mode of Operation

The GPoE+/Sx supports Switch, Directed Switch and Dual Device mode.

The modes are described with MAC learning enabled. When MAC learning is
disabled, unicast packets are forwarded to all ports.

SW1 SW2 Function

DOWN DOWN Switch Mode (factory default)

DOWN UP Directed Switch Mode

UP DOWN Dual Device Mode - Switch Mode

UP UP Dual Device Mode - Directed Switch Mode

Modes of Operation

Switch Mode

When congured for Switch Mode (factory default), the module operates as a
standard layer 2 switch. Data ow will follow MAC address mapping.

Directed Switch Mode

When congured for Directed Switch Mode, trafc from Ports P1 - P8 is only
forwarded to the ber uplink port F1, preventing the broadcast trafc from ooding
to other network ports. Incoming trafc from F1 follows MAC address mapping.

Models with two ber ports follow the same RJ-45 data ow as above, with the
addition of ber port F2 also being forwarded to the ber uplink port F1.

Directed Switch Mode

Page 5

Two ber ports models can be congured for Directed Switch Mode and Fiber
Redundancy (per DIP-switches 3 and 4), trafc is forwarded to both the primary
and secondary ber ports. The secondary port will block all trafc while the primary

port is active. When the primary port goes down, the secondary port will be active

and all trafc will be forwarded out the secondary port (F2).

Directed Switch Mode with Fiber Redundancy

Dual Device Mode

Dual Device Mode is only supported on GPoE+/Sx with two ber ports.

When congured for Dual Device Mode, the GPoE+/Sx is congured as two

logically independent Layer 2 switches. Fiber port F1 is associated with RJ-45 Ports

P1 - P4 and ber port F2 is associated with RJ-45 Ports P5 - P8. Data ow will

follow MAC address mapping.
