WARNING!
Before inserting the Power Adapter, verify that the power on the unit is appropriate
for your AC line voltage source.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1.) Configure the appropriate FlexPoint GX/T
2.) Connect the UTP port via a Category 5 or better cable to a
3.) When using fixed fiber port models, connect the appropriate multimode or
4.) When using a GX/T SFP model, insert the SFP Fiber transceiver into the Port 1 SFP receptacle on the GX/T.
NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver must be in the closed (up) position before insertion.
LOOPBACK
The FlexPoint GX/T has the capability to provide loopback to aid in installation and maintenance. A

LINK MODES
In order to accommodate different user needs, the GX/T supports four different link modes (see Fig. 2).
In Link Segment (LS), a port transmits a Link signal independently of any received Link at any other port. For example, the UTP transmits a Link regardless of the fiber receiving a Link [Fig. 2(a) & (b)].
In Link Propagate (LP), a port transmits a Link signal only when receiving a Link at its other port. For example, the UTP transmits a Link only when receiving a Link at the fiber port [Fig. 2(c)].
In Remote Fault Detection + Link Segment (RFD+LS), the fiber port transmits a Link signal only when receiving a Link at the fiber port. As a result, fiber faults (no Link received at the fiber) are
In Remote Fault Detection + Link Propagate (RFD+LP), the UTP port transmits a Link signal only when receiving a Link at the fiber port. The fiber port transmits a Link signal only when receiving Link signals at both the fiber port and the UTP port. As a result, fiber faults (no Link received at the fiber) are propagated forward and looped back for fault reporting at both the network core and the customer location [Fig. 2(e)].
NOTE: Connecting two converters with both set to RFD mode is not supported and will cause a “deadly embrace” lockup.
