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. 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.
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 backplane port is enabled.
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

GX/F SPECIFICATIONS 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).
