Mounting and Cable Attachment
iConverter
modules are hot-swappable and can be
installed into any chassis in the
iConverter
family.
1. Carefully slide the iConverter module into the
installation slot, aligning the module with the
installation guides. NOTE: Ensure that the module is
firmly seated against the backplane.
2. Secure the module by securing the panel fastener
screw (attached to module) to the chassis front.
3. Attach the UTP port via a category 5 cable to a
1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T Ethernet
device.
4. Attach the fiber port via an appropriate multimode
or single-mode fiber cable to a 1000BASE-X Ethernet
device. The
iConverter
transmit (Tx) must attach to
the receive side on other device; the receive (Rx)
must attach to the transmit.
5. When using single-fiber (SF) media converter models,
the Tx wavelength on one end has to match the Rx
wavelength on the other. Note that based on this
guideline, the SF media converter models must be used
in pairs, such as the 8530-1 matched with the 8531-1.
Exclusive Remedies
The remedies provided herein are the Buyer’s sole and exclusive
remedies. Omnitron shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, special,
incidental, or consequential damages, whether based on contract, tort,
or any legal theory.

Fig. 4 Board Mounted DIP-Switches
Backplane A Enable DIP-Switch (BPAEN)
When the “BPAEN” DIP-Switch is in the “ON” position (right),
the iConverter GX/T module A backplane Ethernet 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” position (right), the iConverter GX/T module
B backplane Ethernet 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.
Fiber Auto/Manual P1 “AN/MAN” DIP-Switch
Setting this DIP-Switch to P1 Auto-Negotiate “AN”
(factory setting) enables the Fiber Port to determine
duplex mode automatically. If the connected device
cannot provide the proper signal to indicate its own
mode of operation, this DIP-Switch should be set to P1
Manual “MAN.” This feature allows connections with
devices that do not auto-negotiate properly.
NOTE: When the 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.
UTP Auto/Manual P2 “AN/MAN” DIP-Switch
Setting the P2 Auto/Manual Negotiate DIP-Switch to
Auto-Negotiate “AN” (factory setting) enables the
UTP port to determine the speed and duplex mode
automatically. If the connected device cannot provide
the proper signal to indicate its own mode of operation,
this DIP-Switch should be set to P2 Manual “MAN.”
This feature allows connections with devices that do
not auto-negotiate properly.
NOTE: Attaching an auto-negotiating UTP port to a non
auto-negotiating (manual/forced/hard-coded) UTP port
may result in an unpredictable port setting with excessive
collisions and poor link performance. When operating in
manual mode, both mating ports MUST be set manually to
the same speed and duplex mode.
Gigabit devices typically function only in Auto-Negotiate
Mode. 1000 Manual Mode is not a valid mode and will
result in an undefined response. Use Manual mode only
when selecting the 10 or 100 mode.
UTP Full/Half-Duplex P2 “FD/HD” DIP-Switch
When the UTP P2 Auto/Manual DIP-Switch (described
above) is in the P2 Manual “MAN” position, the UTP P2
Full/Half Duplex “FD/HD” DIP-Switch selects the duplex
mode for the UTP port. When set to Full-Duplex “FD”
(factory setting), the UTP port operates in Full-Duplex
mode. When P2 is set to Half-Duplex “HD,” the UTP
port operates in Half-Duplex mode.
UTP 10/100 P2 “10/100” DIP-Switch
When the UTP P2 Auto/Manual DIP-Switch is in the
Auto-Negotiate “AN” position and the “10-100/1000”
DIP-Switch (described below) is set to “10-100,” the
“10/100” DIP-Switch determines the highest speed of
the UTP P2 port in the following manner:
When the “10/100” DIP-Switch is set to the “100” position,
P2 operates at 100Mbps or less, depending on the speed
of the connected device.
When the “10/100” DIP-Switch is set to the “10” position,
P2 operates only at 10Mbps.
When the UTP P2 Auto/Manual DIP-Switch is in the Manual
“MAN” position and the UTP “10-100/1000”
DIP-Switch (described below) is set to “10-100,” the
“10/100” DIP-Switch determines the speed of the UTP P2
port. When set to “100” (factory setting), the UTP port will
operate at 100Mbps. When set to “10,” the UTP port will
operate at 10Mbps.
UTP 10-100/1000 P2 “10-100/1000” DIP-Switch
When the P2 “AN/MAN” DIP-Switch is set to the
Auto-Negotiate “AN” position, the “10-100/1000”
DIP-Switch operates in the following manner:
When set to “1000,” P2 operates at 1000Mbps or less,
depending on the speed of the connected device.
When set to the “10-100” position, the speed is selected
by the UTP “10/100” DIP-Switch.
When the P2 “AN/MAN” DIP-Switch is set to Manual
“MAN” mode, the “10-100/1000” DIP-Switch must be
set to the “10-100” position and the speed is selected
by the “10/100” DIP-Switch.
NOTE: Setting the “10-100/1000” DIP-Switch to the
“1000” position when in Manual mode is not permitted
(per the IEEE 802.3 standard) and will result in
unpredictable port behavior.
Auto/Manual Crossover Enable P2 “AX/MANX”
DIP-Switch
When the Manual/Auto Crossover Enable DIP-Switch
is set to Auto Crossover “AX” (factory default), the
front panel crossover switch is disabled and the RJ-45
crossover is selected automatically. When it is set to
Manual Crossover “MANX,” the front panel RJ-45
Manual Crossover DIP-Switch is enabled to allow a
manual setting in either Crossover or Straight-Through
connection.
