Product Overview
The iConverter 2GXT is a standalone, unmanaged media converter with two 10/100/1000 RJ-45
copper ports and two Small Form Pluggable (SFP) fiber ports. The 2GXT can be deployed as a dual-
channel media converter that provides two independent copper-to-fiber converters in one compact
module, or deployed as a four-port switch with dual fiber ports that can be configured to provide 1:1
uplink protection with less than 50ms switchover.
The 2GXT supports both 100BASE-X and 1000BASE-X SFPs to provide flexible connectivity to Fast
Ethernet or Gigabit networks.
Installation Procedure
1) Configure DIP-switches
2) Install Standalone Module and Connect Cables
3) Verify Operation
1) CONFIGURE DIP-SWITCHES
DIP-SWITCH BANK 1
The location of the DIP-switches is shown in Figure 1. The functions of DIP-switch Bank 1 are
outlined in Figure 2.

c.
Connect the UTP port via a Category 5 or better cable to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or
1000BASE-T Ethernet device.
d.
Connect an 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 the RX wavelength must match the TX wavelength at the other end.
3) VERIFY OPERATION
Verify the correct LED is illuminated based on the configuration of the port. Figure 6 indicates the
operation of the port based on the illuminated LEDs. If the 100 LED is illuminated, the port is operating
at 100Mbps. If the 1000 LED is illuminated, the port is operating at 1000Mbps and if the 100 and
1000 LEDs are illuminated, the port is operating at 10Mbps.
