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

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.
