miConverter S-Series User Manual

S/GXT and S/FXT

Product Overview

The miConverter S/GXT Gigabit ber to 10/100/1000BASE-T

and the S/FXT Fast Ethernet ber to 10/100/1000BASE-T
media converters are ideal for mobile applications where
light weight, compact size and low power are critical

requirements.

The miConverter S-Series delivers plug-and-play set up with an RJ-45 port that auto-

negotiates the speed, duplex mode and cross-over functions for laptops with 10BASE-T,
100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet.

Installation Procedure

1) Connect Cables

a. The miConverter S/GXT and S/FXT can be wall mounted using the optional wall

mount bracket (1691-0) or placed on a at level surface.

To power the module using the USB cable, connect the USB Standard Type A

connector to a USB port on the computer. Then connect the USB Micro-B connector
at the other end of the cable to the connector on the back of the miConverter. Conrm
that the module has powered up properly by checking the power status LED located
on the top of the module.

To power the module using the AC/DC adapter, connect the USB Standard Type A

connector to the AC/DC adapter and connect the AC/DC adapter to the AC outlet.
Then connect the USB Micro-B connector at the end of the cable to the connector
on the back of the miConverter. Conrm that the module has powered up properly
by checking the power status LED located on the top of the module.

b. Connect the UTP port via a Category 5 or better cable to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX

or 1000BASE-T Ethernet device.

c. When using xed ber port models, connect the appropriate multimode or single-

mode ber cable to the ber 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. Single-ber (SF) media converter
models operate in pairs. 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.

When using an SFP model, insert the SFP Fiber transceiver into the Port 1 SFP

receptacle on the module.

NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver must be in the closed (up)

position before insertion.

2) Verify Operation

Once the module has been installed, verify the module is operational by viewing the
LED indicators.
