User Manual
Unit shown with optional wall-mounting bracket kit
DESCRIPTION
The miConverter GX/T is a 10/100/1000BASE-T UTP
to 1000BASE-X fiber media converter that supports
jumbo frames up to 10,240 bytes. The GX/T features
fixed fiber and Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers
that support multimode, single-mode and single-mode
single-fiber options.
Both the fiber port and the UTP port support auto-
negotiation, an IEEE standard which defines how all the
communicating devices automatically perform their
configuration functions.
The auto-negotiation feature can be disabled on both
ports (for manual configuration) using DIP-switches on
the product. This is useful in a situation where the
GX/T is connected to a non-negotiating device and the
configuration parameters must be set manually.

Link Segment/Link Propagate "LS/LP" DIP-switch
Setting the DIP-switch to LS (Link Segment), 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)].
Setting the DIP-switch to LP (Link Propagate), 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)].

For power supplies -3, -4 -5 and -8, country/region specific clips
are used to provide the necessary power connection.
Single-Fiber converters must be used in pairs. The Tx wavelength
on one end has to match the Rx wavelength on the other.

When configured for auto-negotiation, Pause is always
advertised. Each port will resolve Pause capability
independently during auto-negotiation. If NO Pause is
resolved, the port will not send or respond to Pause
frames.

WARNING!
Before inserting the Power Adapter, verify
that the power on the adapter is appropriate
-
for your AC line voltage source.

When powering the miConverter GX/T
-
Power Adapter cable (P/N 9130-2), the cable must be
connected to a Full-Powered USB Type-A port (5V,

500mA).
Note: Not all USB Type-A ports are Full-Powered
USB ports.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1.) Configure the appropriate
DIP-Switch settings.
2.) Connect the UTP port via a Category 5 or better
cable to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T
Ethernet device.
3.) When using fixed fiber port models, connect the
appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the
fiber 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-fiber (SF) media
converter models operate in pairs. The Tx wavelength
must match the Rx wavelength at the other end and

F/O Manual/Auto "Man/AN" DIP-Switch
Setting this DIP-Switch to Auto-Negotiate "AN" (factory
setting) enables the fiber port to determine duplex mode
automatically. If a connection can not be established,
the fiber port will automatically attempt to connect to
the device by reconfiguring to manual mode.
If the connected device cannot provide the proper
signal to indicate its own mode of operation or the fiber
port can establish a link after attempting a manual
connection, this DIP-Switch should be set to Manual
"Man." This feature allows connections with legacy
devices that do not support auto-negotiation.
NOTE: When the fiber port is configured for Manual
Mode, a link may not occur with the connected
device. Configure both devices to Manual mode
to establish a link.

the Rx wavelength must match the Tx wavelength at
the other end.
4.) When using a
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.
5.) Mount the miConverter GX/T
Velcro ® strips or optional wall-mounting bracket kit
(P/N 1091-0).
using the USB
6.) To power the unit using the AC/DC adapter, connect
the AC/DC adapter to the AC outlet. Then connect the
barrel plug at the end of the wire on the AC/DC adapter
to the 2.5mm DC barrel connector (center-positive) on
the unit. Confirm that the unit has powered up properly
by checking the power status LED located on the front
of the unit.
To power the unit using a DC power source, prepare a
miConverter GX/T
power cable using a two-conductor insulated wire (not
supplied) with a 14 AWG gauge minimum. Cut the
power cable to the length required. Strip approximately
3/8 of an inch of insulation from the power cable wires.
Connect the power cables to the
the stripped ends to the DC power connector.
Connect the power wires to the DC power source. The
Power LED should indicate the presence of power.
WARNING: Note the wire colors used in making
the positive and negative connections. Use the
same color assignment for the connection at the
DC power source.
