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. To enable 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.

It is recommended when connecting two GX/X modules together to use port 1 as the common port between modules (or port 1 to port 2).

The GX/X should not be installed in the 1-slot chassis because of power and heat constraints.

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 right position, the A 10/100 Ethernet backplane port is enabled. This port allows connection to an adjacent module (in the same chassis) via the backplane A link of the chassis. When the “BPAEN” DIP-Switch is in the left “off” position (factory setting), the A port is isolated from the backplane.

Backplane B Enable “BPBEN” DIP-Switch

When the “BPBEN” DIP-Switch is in the right position, the B 10/100 Ethernet backplane port is enabled. This port allows connection to an adjacent module (in the same chassis) via the chassis’ backplane B link. When the “BPBEN” DIP-Switch is in the left “off” position (factory setting), the B port is isolated from the backplane.

Fiber Port 1 Auto/Manual “ P1 AN/MAN” DIP-Switch

When the P1 AN/MAN switch is in the “AN” (left) position (factory setting) it enables Port 1 to determine duplex

mode automatically. If the device connected to Port 1 cannot provide the proper signal to indicate its own mode of operation, then the DIP-Switch should be set to the “MAN” (right) position, forcing Port 1 to Full-Duplex mode.

Fiber Port 2 Auto/Manual DIP-Switch (P2 AN/MAN)

When the P2 AN/MAN switch is in the “AN” (left) position (factory setting) it enables Port 2 to determine duplex mode automatically. If the device connected to Port 2 cannot provide the proper signal to indicate its own mode of operation, then the DIP-Switch should be set to the “MAN” (right) position, forcing Port 2 to Full-Duplex mode.

NOTE: When a fiber port is in manual mode, sometimes a link-up will not occur with other devices. Both devices must be set to the same mode (either Manual or Auto-Negotiate) for the link-up to occur.

MOUNTING AND CABLE ATTACHMENT

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

1.Carefully slide the iConverter module into the installation slot, aligning the module with the installation guides. Ensure that the module is firmly seated against the backplane.

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

3.Connect the appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to a 1000BASE-X Ethernet device.

NOTE: The iConverter transmit (Tx) must attach to the receive side on other device; the receive (Rx) must attach to the transmit.

4.When using single-fiber (SF) media converter models, the Tx wavelength on one end has to match the Rx wavelength on the other.

NOTE: Based on this guideline, the SF media converter models must be used in pairs, such as the 8550-01 matched with the 8551-01.
