Omnitron Systems Technology miConverter S-Series - Manual

miConverter S-Series User Manual
S/GXT and S/FXT
Product Overview
The
miConverter S/GXT Gigabit fiber to 10/100/1000BASE-T
and the S/FXT Fast Ethernet fiber to 10/100/1000BASE-T
media converters are ideal for mobile applications where
light weight, compact size and low power are critical
requirements.
The
miConverter S-Series delivers plug-and-play set up with an RJ-45 port that auto-
negotiates the speed, duplex mode and cross-over functions for laptops with 10BASE-T,
100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet.
Installation Procedure
1) Connect Cables
a. The
miConverter S/GXT and S/FXT can be wall mounted using the optional wall
mount bracket (1691-0) or placed on a flat level surface.
To power the module using the USB cable, connect the USB Standard Type A
connector to a USB port on the computer. Then connect the USB Micro-B connector
at the other end of the cable to the connector on the back of the miConverter . Confirm
that the module has powered up properly by checking the power status LED located
on the top of the module.
To power the module using the AC/DC adapter, connect the USB Standard Type A
connector to the AC/DC adapter and connect the AC/DC adapter to the AC outlet.
Then connect the USB Micro-B connector at the end of the cable to the connector
on the back of the miConverter . Confirm that the module has powered up properly
by checking the power status LED located on the top of the module.
b. Connect the UTP port via a Category 5 or better cable to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX
or 1000BASE-T Ethernet device.
c. When using fixed fiber port models, connect the 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.
When using an SFP model, insert the SFP Fiber transceiver into the Port 1 SFP
receptacle on the module.
NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver must be in the closed (up)
position before insertion.
2) Verify Operation
Once the module has been installed, verify the module is operational by viewing the
LED indicators.
