the miConverter Gx transmitter (Tx) must attach to the

receiver side of its link partner; the receiver (Rx) must

attach to the transmitter. When connecting single-fiber

(SF) models, the Tx wavelength on one end has to match

the Rx wavelength on the other. Based on this guideline,

the SF media converter models must be used in pairs,

such as the 1210-2-x matched with the 1211-2-x.

4. Mount the miConverter Gx using the included Velcro

strips or optional wall-mounting bracket kit (P/N 1091-0).

5. Connect the appropriate power supply.

DIP-SWITCH SETTINGS:

Fig. 1 DIP-switches

Fiber Optic Auto/Manual “AN/Man” DIP-switch:

Setting this DIP-switch to the Auto-negotiation “AN”

(factory default) setting enables the fiber optic port of the

miConverter Gx to negotiate the Duplex and Pause modes

with the connected fiber optic and UTP devices. The

DESCRIPTION:

The miConverter

™

Gx converts between 1000BASE-T

copper and 1000BASE-X Gigabit Ethernet fiber. The

fiber optic port supports Auto-negotiation and Manual

configuration via DIP-switches. The UTP port

automatically detects and advertises the Duplex and

Pause abilities of connected Gigabit fiber optic and

UTP devices.

The 1000BASE-X fiber port supports ST and SC fiber

connectors. Single-fiber and dual fiber models are

listed in the table on the first page of this manual.

WARNING!

Before inserting the Power Adapter, verify

that the power on the unit is appropriate

for your AC line voltage source.

POWER ADAPTER NOTICE:

This product should only be used with Omnitron supplied

Power Supply model numbers 9113-PS, 9115-PS, 9116-PS-3,

9116-PS-4, 9116-PS-5 or 9116-PS-8.

When powering the

miConverter Gx using the USB 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. The Full-Powered USB Type-A ports are usually

the USB ports found on computer cases or on

self-powered (powered by an AC adapter) USB hubs.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:

1. Configure the appropriate miConverter Gx DIP-switch

settings. If connecting to a fiber optic device that is set

to auto-negotiation mode, set the fiber optic

Auto-negotiation/Manual “AN/Man” DIP-switch to “AN.”

If connecting to a fiber optic device that is set to manual

mode, set the fiber optic “AN/Man” switch to “Man” and

the UTP DIP-switches to the settings of the connected

devices.

2. Connect the UTP port to a 1000BASE-T Ethernet device

using a Category 5 cable (or better).

3. Connect the fiber optic port to a 1000BASE-X Gigabit

Ethernet device using a single-mode or multimode fiber

cable (as appropriate). When connecting dual fiber models,

User Manual

miConverter Gx UTP port negotiates with the connected

UTP device based on the modes detected by the fiber

optic port. Both the

miConverter Gx and the connected

fiber optic device must have their fiber optic

auto-negotiation enabled for this process to work.

Setting this DIP-switch to the Manual “Man” setting

disables the fiber optic port’s ability to detect the Duplex

and Pause modes of the connected fiber optic device.

In this setting, the UTP port of the miConverter Gx

negotiates with the connected UTP device based on the

modes configured by the UTP DIP-switches. This

setting allows the

miConverter Gx to connect to Gigabit

fiber devices that are not capable of auto-negotiation.

Note: In auto-negotiation mode, connecting the

fiber optic cables before connecting the UTP cables

causes the fiber optic LED to blink steadily (0.5Hz).

The blinking LED turns solid when the UTP link is

on and blinks quickly (10Hz) when activity is

detected.

Note: The UTP “FDX/HDX”, “Pause/No”, and

“LS/LP” DIP-switches have no affect when the fiber

optic port is set to auto-negotiation.

UTP Full/Half Duplex “FDX/HDX” DIP-switch:

Setting this DIP-switch to “FDX” (factory default) allows

the UTP port to negotiate to Full-Duplex. Setting this

DIP-Switch to “HDX” forces the UTP port to negotiate

only to Half-Duplex. These settings must be

configured to match the settings of the connected fiber

optic and UTP devices.

indicators, please refer to the miConverter Gx

UTP Pause Enable/Disable “Pause/No” DIP-switch:

Setting this DIP-switch to “Pause” (factory default) allows

the UTP port to negotiate to Symmetrical Pause. Setting

this DIP-switch to “No” disables Pause. These settings

must be configured to match the settings of the

connected fiber optic and UTP devices.

Link Segment/Link Propagate “LS/LP” DIP-switch:

Setting this DIP-switch to “LS” (factory default) allows the

generation and detection of link presence to occur at each

point-to-point segment. In this configuration, the loss of a

receive link on either port has no affect on the other port’s

ability to transmit a link. For example, if there is a loss of

a receive link on the fiber optic port, the UTP port continues

to maintain its link [Fig.2 (A) & (B)].

Setting this DIP-switch to “LP” allows the link state to

propagate from one port to the other port. In this

configuration, the loss of a receive link on either port causes

the transmit link of the opposite port to be turned off.

For example, a loss of a receive link on the fiber optic

port causes the UTP port to drop its link due to the

propagated fiber optic link state [Fig. 2 (C)]. This

setting allows the loss of a link to be detected by

SNMP or other managed network devices to which the

miConverter Gx is connected.

Note: Only the first loss of a receive link detected by

the miConverter Gx turns off the other port’s transmit

link. An additional loss of a receive link on the other

port has no affect on the miConverter Gx. The

miConverter Gx returns to normal operation when the

first loss of a receive link is restored.
