DIP-SWITCH SETTINGS

Front Panel DIP-Switch Settings

Fig. 3 Front Panel DIP-Switches

Link Segment/Link Propagate “LS/LP” DIP-Switch

This DIP-Switch controls the Link Propagate or Link Segment modes. When the DIP-Switch is in the “LS” position (factory setting), Link Segment mode is enabled. In the “LP” position, Link Propagate mode is enabled.

Remote Fault Detection “RFD” DIP-Switch

To enable Remote Fault Detection mode, set the “RFD” DIP-Switch to the “RFD” position.

To enable RFD + LS mode, also set the LS/LP DIP- Switch to the “LS” position. Toenable RFD + LP mode, set the LS/LP DIP-Switch to the “LP” position.

The RFD DIP-Switch selection is ignored on ports set to Auto-Negotiation mode.

NOTE: Connecting two converters with both set to RFD mode is not supported and will cause a “deadly embrace” lockup.

Symmetrical Fault Detection “SFD” DIP-Switch

To enable Symmetrical Fault Detection mode, set the “SFD” DIP-Switch to the “SFD” position, the “LS/LP” DIP-Switch to the “LS” position and the “RFD” DIP-Switch to the “Off” position.

Any other DIP-Switch configuration will disable Symmetrical Fault Detection mode.

NOTE: Converters in SFD mode must be deployed in pairs.

Fig. 4 Board Mounted DIP-Switches

Backplane A Enable “BPAEN” DIP-Switch

When the “BPAEN” DIP-Switch is in the “ON” (right) position, the A Ethernet backplane port is enabled. This port allows connectivity to an adjacent module. When the “BPAEN” DIP-Switch is in the “Off” position (left, factory setting), the A port is isolated from the backplane.

Backplane B Enable “BPBEN” DIP-Switch

When the Backplane B Enable “BPBEN” DIP-Switch is in the “ON” (right) position, the B Ethernet backplaneport isenabled. This port allows connectivity to an adjacent module. When the “BPBEN” DIP-Switch is in the “Off” position (left, factory setting), the B port is isolated from the backplane.

Port 1 1000FX Auto-Negotiation “P1 AN / MAN” DIP-Switch

When set to the Auto-Negotiate “AN”(factory setting), this DIP-Switch enables the Gigabit Fiber Port to sense its duplex mode automatically. If the connected device cannot provide the proper signal to indicate its own mode of operation, the P1 Manual “MAN” DIP-Switch position should be selected to force Full-Duplex mode

on Port 1. This facilitates the connection to devices that do not auto-negotiate properly on their Gigabit fiber port.

Note: In order for Gigabit fiber ports to link up, the linking two devices (ports) must be set to the same mode (either Manual or Auto-Negotiate).

When the P1 1000FX Fiber is set to Auto-Negotiation Mode, the device receiving the fault acts as if it is in RFD mode.

NOTE: In older versions of firmware, RFD was not defined on ports set to Auto-Negotiation.

Port 2 100Fx Full/Half Duplex “P2 FD / HD” DIP-Switch

The P2 Full/Half-Duplex DIP-Switch selects the duplex mode for the 100Mbps (FX) P2 port. When set to Full-Duplex “FD” (left, factory setting), the P2 port operates in Full-Duplex mode. When set to Half-Duplex “HD” position (right), P2 operates in Half-Duplex mode.

NOTE: Port 2 100FX is not defined for Auto-Negotiate mode per the IEEE802.3 and is always in Manual mode.

UNUSED DIP-SWITCHES

The following DIP-Switches are present on the GX/F but are unused and do not affect any functionality:

4)P2 AN/MAN

6)P2 100/10

7)P2 1000/10-100

8)P2 AX/MANX

MOUNTING AND CABLE ATTACHMENT

The iConverter GX/F modules are hot-swappable and can be installed into any iConverter chassis. To install in a chassis, perform the following steps:

1.Slide the iConverter module into the selected slot while aligning it with the installation guides. Ensure that the module is firmly seated against the backplane.

2.Secure the module to the chassis using the panel fastener screw (attached to the module).

3.Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the Gigabit P1 fiber port.

4.Connect the cable to a compatible Gigabit device.

5.Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the 100BASE-FX P2 fiber port.

6.Connect the cable to a compatible 100BASE-FX device.

NOTES: Each transmit (Tx) port must connect to the receive port of the attached device; the receive (Rx) port must connect to the transmit port.

When using single-fiber (SF) models, the Tx wavelength on one end must match the Rx wavelength on the other and the converters must be used in matched pairs (example: model 8562-05 must be matched with model 8562-07).
