interference, in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense.
CE Mark Warning
This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment, this
product may cause radio interference, in which case the user
may be required to take adequate measures.
Energy Saving Note of the Device
This power required device does not support Standby mode
operation.
For energy saving, please remove the DC-plug or push the
hardware Power Switch to OFF position to disconnect the device
from the power circuit.
Without remove the DC-plug or switch off the device, the
device will still consume power from the power source. In the
view of Saving the Energy and reduce the unnecessary power
consuming, it is strongly suggested to power off or remove the
DC-plug for the device if this device is not intended to be active.
WEEE Warning
To avoid the potential effects on the environment and
human health as a result of the presence of
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment, end users of electrical and electronic
equipment should understand the meaning of the crossed-out
wheeled bin symbol. Do not dispose of WEEE as unsorted
municipal waste and have to collect such WEEE separately.

1. Introduction
Note
1.1 Checklist
Check the contents of your package for following parts:
GT-1205A x 1 l
User’s Manual x 1 l
5V / 2.5A AC-DC Power Adapter x 1 l
If any of these pieces are missing or damaged, please contact
your dealer immediately, if possible, retain the carton including
the original packing material, and use them against to repack
the product in case there is a need to return it to us for repair.
GT-1205A is with two vacant SFP module slots.
The 1000Base-X SFP module is not bundled with
in the package
1.2 Product Description
The GT-1205A is 3-Port Gigabit, one TP and dual SFP
Media Converter which supports conversion between
10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX/LX network, which is SFP
connector with single-mode or multi-mode media as required.
The Ethernet signal allows different types of SFP transceiver to
connect easily, efciently and inexpensively.
The GT-1205A Gigabit Media Converter can be used as a
stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module to the PLANET Media
Converter Chassis (MC-700 and MC-1500 series chassis). These
media chassis can assist in providing DC power for GT-1205A
Gigabit Media Converter to maintain the ber-optic network at
one centralized location. With the 3-Port Switch mode, they
work in high performance Store and Forward mechanism, and
can prevent packet loss with IEEE 802.3x Flow Control (FullDuplex) and Back Pressure (Half-Duplex).

Via the build-in DIP-switch, the GT-1205A can be congured as
3-Port Ethernet switch or 2-Port Redundant media converter.
With the 3-Port Switch mode, it can operate Store-and-Forward
mechanism with high performance, with the 2-Port redundant
mode, it provides rapid ber redundancy of link for highly critical
Ethernet applications. The redundant-mode supports autorecover function. If the destination port of a packet is link down,
it forwards the packet to the other port of the backup pair.
As the GT-1205A Media Converter fully complies with IEEE
802.3 10Base-T, IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX, IEEE 802.3ab
1000Base-T and IEEE 802.3z 1000Base-LX / SX, the Gigabit
media conversion installation is quite quick and easy by simple
plugging and playing feature.
With 1000Base-SX / LX SFP ports, the GT-1205A is with high
reliability and exibility to extend the distance up to 550m,
10km, or longer. It depends on the 1000Base-SX / LX SFP
transceiver modules.
