™
Gx
Gigabit Media Converter
w/ Fiber Optic Auto-Negotiation
User Instructions
DESCRIPTION:
The FlexPoint Gx converts between 1000Base-X Gigabit
Ethernet fiber and 1000Base-T twisted pair cabling. The
fiber optic port supports Auto-Negotiation, which
automatically detects and advertises the Duplex and Pause
ability of connected devices. Multimode and single-mode
models are described on page 1.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
1.) Configure the appropriate FlexPoint Gx DIP-Switch
settings. When connecting to a fiber optic device that is
set to Auto-Negotiation mode, set the fiber optic
Auto-Negotiation/Manual “An/Man” DIP-Switch of the
FlexPoint Gx to “AN.” When connecting to a fiber optic
device that is set to manual mode, set the fiber optic
“AN/Man” switch to “Man” and the UTP DIP-Switches to
the settings of the connected devices.
2.) Connect the UTP port to a 1000Base-T Ethernet device
using a Category 5 cable.
3.) Connect the fiber optic port to a 1000Base-X Gigabit
Ethernet device using a single-mode or multimode fiber
cable (as appropriate). When connecting dual fiber models,
the FlexPoint Gx transmitter (Tx) must attach to the receiver
side of its link partner; the receiver (Rx) must attach to the
transmitter. When connecting single-fiber (SF) models, the
Tx wavelength on one end has to match the Rx wavelength
on the other.
4.) Mount the FlexPoint Gx using the included Velcro
®
strips
or an optional wall-mounting kit (See Optional Accessories).
5.) Connect the appropriate power supply.
DIP-SWITCH SETTINGS:
Fiber Optic Auto/Manual “AN/Man” DIP-Switch:
Setting this DIP-Switch to the “AN” (factory default) setting
enables the fiber optic port of the FlexPoint Gx to detect
the Duplex and Pause modes of the connected fiber optic
and UTP devices. The UTP port of the Flexpoint Gx
negotiates with the connected UTP device based on the
modes detected by the fiber optic port. Both the FlexPoint
Gx and the connected fiber optic device must have their
fiber optic Auto-Negotiation enabled for this process to work.
Setting this DIP-switch to the Manual “Man” setting disables
the fiber optic port’s ability to detect the Duplex and Pause
modes of the connected fiber optic device. In this setting,
the UTP port of FlexPoint Gx negotiates with the
connected UTP device based on the modes
configured by the UTP DIP-Switches. This setting allows
the FlexPoint Gx to connect to Gigabit fiber devices that
are not capable of Auto-Negotiation.
Note: In Auto-Negotiation mode, connecting the fiber
optic cables before connecting the UTP cables causes
the fiber optic LED to blink steadily. The blinking LED
turns solid when the UTP Link is on.
Note: The UTP “FDX/HDX”, “Pause/No”, and “LS/LP”
DIP-Switches have no affect when the fiber optic port
is set to Auto-Negotiation.
Note: When connecting a FlexPoint Gx revision “2.x”
to a FlexPoint Gx revision “1.x”, the Fiber Optic Auto/
Manual Dip-Switch of the“2.x” module must be set to
the “Man” setting.
WARNING!
Before inserting the Power Adapter, verify
that the power on the unit is appropriate
for your AC line voltage source.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL:
This document supports revision “2.x” of the FlexPoint Gx.
Please refer to the serial number label on the FlexPoint Gx
for the revision number of your product. This revision
incorporates the following improvement to the FlexPoint Gx:
1. Improved LED performance.
UTP “Full-Duplex/Half-Duplex” DIP-Switch:
Setting the DIP-switch to “Full-Duplex” (factory default)
allows the UTP port to Auto-Negotiate to Full-Duplex or
Half-Duplex. Setting the DIP-switch to “Half-Duplex” forces
the UTP port to Auto-Negotiate only to Half-Duplex.
UTP Pause Enable/Pause Disable “Pause/No”
DIP-Switch:
Setting this DIP-switch to “Pause Enable” (factory default)
allows the UTP port to Auto-Negotiate to Symmetrical and
Asymmetrical Pause. Setting the DIP-switch to “Pause
Disable” forces the UTP port to Auto-Negotiate only to No
Pause.
Link Segment/Link Propagate “LS/LP” DIP-Switch:
Setting this DIP-switch to “LS” (factory default) allows the
generation and detection of link presence to occur at each
point-to-point segment. In this configuration, the loss of
a receive link on either port has no affect on the other port’s
ability to transmit a link. For example, if there is a loss of a
receive link on the fiber optic port, the UTP port continues
to transmit a link.
Setting this DIP-Switch to “LP” allows the link state to
propagate from one port to the other port. In this
configuration, the loss of a receive link on either port causes
the transmit link of the opposite port to be turned off. For
example, if there is a loss of a receive link on the fiber optic
port, the UTP port will not transmit its link due to the
propagated fiber optic link state. This setting allows the
loss of a link to be detected by SNMP or other managed
network devices to which the FlexPoint Gx is connected.
Note: Only the first loss of a receive link detected by the
FlexPoint Gx turns off the other port’s transmit link. An
additional loss of a receive link on the other port has no
affect on the FlexPoint Gx. The FlexPoint Gx returns to
normal operation when the first loss of a receive link is
restored.
