Omnitron Systems 1220-0-x miConverter GX-T Ethernet Media Converter
Product Information
The miConverter GX/T is a 10/100/1000BASE-T copper to 1000BASE-X fiber media converter. It supports jumbo frames up to 9K bytes and features fixed fiber, 100M1 and 1000M Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers that support multimode, single-mode, and single-mode single-fiber options. The converter has autonegotiation support on both the fiber port and the RJ-45 port, and the autonegotiation feature can be disabled for manual configuration using DIP- switches on the product. The GX/T is available in various models with different fiber types, distances, connector types, and Tx/Rx Lambda values. Please refer to the data sheet for more information on specific models and powering options.
Product Usage Instructions
Power Adapter Installation
Before inserting the Power Adapter, ensure that the power on the unit is
appropriate for your AC line voltage source.
DIP-Switch Settings
Link Segment/Link Propagate LS/LP DIP-switch
By setting the DIP-switch to LS (Link Segment), a port transmits a Link signal
independently of any received Link at any other port.
For example, the RJ-45 port transmits a Link regardless of the fiber receiving
a Link.
By setting the DIP-switch to LP (Link Propagate), a port transmits a Link
signal only when receiving a Link at its other port. For example, the RJ-45
port transmits a Link only when receiving a Link at the fiber port.
RJ-45 Mode Configuration DIP-Switches
When configured for auto-negotiation, Pause is always advertised. Each port will resolve Pause capability independently during auto-negotiation. If NO Pause is resolved, the port will not send or respond to Pause frames.
| Mode | DIP-Switch 1 | DIP-Switch 2 | DIP-Switch 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mode 1 – Down | Down | Up | Up |
| Mode 2 – Down | Up | Down | Up |
RJ-45 port set to auto-negotiation. The following modes are advertised: 1000F, 1000H, 100F, 100H, 10F, 10H, and pause.
In manual operation:
- Mode – 100 HDX
- Mode – 10 FDX
- Mode – 100 FDX
F/O Manual/Auto Man/AN DIP-Switch
Setting this DIP-Switch to Auto-Negotiate AN (factory setting) enables the
fiber port to determine duplex mode automatically. If a connection cannot be
established, the fiber port will automatically attempt to connect to the
device by reconfiguring to manual mode.

DESCRIPTION
The miConverter GX/T is a 10/100/1000BASE-T copper to 1000BASE-X fiber media
converter that supports jumbo frames up to 9K bytes. The GX/T features fixed
fiber, 100M1 and 1000M Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers that support
multimode, single-mode and single-mode single-fiber options.
Both the fiber port and the RJ-45 port support autonegotiation.
The auto-negotiation feature can be disabled on both ports (for manual
configuration) using DIPswitches on the product.
1 Not supported on the 1239N-0 models See data sheet for available models and
powering options.
WARNING!
Before inserting the Power Adapter, verify that the power on the unit is
appropriate for your AC line voltage source.
DIP-SWITCH SETTINGS
In order to accommodate different user needs, the GX/T supports two different linking modes. In default configuration, the module operates in Link Segment.
Link Segment/Link Propagate “LS/LP” DIP-switch Setting the DIP-switch to LS (Link Segment), a port transmits a Link signal independently of any received Link at any other port. For example, the RJ-45 port transmits a Link regardless of the fiber receiving a Link.
Setting the DIP-switch to LP (Link Propagate), a port transmits a Link signal only when receiving a Link at its other port. For example, the RJ-45 port transmits a Link only when receiving a Link at the fiber port.
RJ-45 Mode Configuration DIP-Switches
When configured for auto-negotiation, Pause is always advertised. Each port
will resolve Pause capability independently during auto-negotiation. If NO
Pause is resolved, the port will not send or respond to Pause frames.
| Mode 1 | Mode 2 | RJ-45 Mode of Operation |
|---|---|---|
| Down | Down | RJ-45 port set to auto-negotiation. The following modes are |
advertised.
1000F, 1000H, 100F, 100H, 10F, 10H, and pause.
Down| Up| Manual Operation – 100 HDX
Up| Down| Manual Operation – 10 FDX
Up| Up| Manual Operation – 100 FDX
F/O Manual/Auto “Man/AN” DIP-Switch
Setting this DIP-Switch to Auto-Negotiate “AN” (factory setting) enables the
fiber port to determine duplex mode automatically. If a connection can not be
established, the fiber port will automatically attempt to connect to the
device by reconfiguring to manual mode.
If the connected device cannot provide the proper signal to indicate its own
mode of operation or the fiber port can establish a link after attempting a
manual connection, this DIP-Switch should be set to Manual “Man.” This feature
allows connections with legacy devices that do not support auto-negotiation.
NOTE: When the fiber port is configured for Manual Mode, a link may not occur
with the connected device. Configure both devices to Manual mode to establish
a link.
MOUNTING AND CABLE ATTACHMENT
-
The GX/T can be wall mounted using the optional mounting bracket kit (1091-0) or using the included Velcro® strips. Installation of the module should be such that the air flow in the front, back, side and top vents of the switch are not compromised or restricted.
For AC models:
AC power adapter is available in US, Universal and Country/Region specific models. Country/Region specific models feature optional interchangeable connectors, allowing for compatibility with electrical outlet types found around the world.
This product should only be used with Omnitron Supplied Power Unit.
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 connector at the other end of the cable (barrel connector) 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 AC/DC adapter to the AC outlet. Then connect the barrel connector at the end of the cable to 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.
For DC models:
To power the unit using a DC power source, prepare a power cable using a two- conductor insulated wire (not supplied). The DC connector can accept a wire thickness up to 12AVG thickness. Cut the power cable to the length required. Strip approximately 3/8 of an inch of insulation from the power cable wires. Connect the power cables to the GX/T unit by fastening the stripped ends to the DC power connector.
Connect the power wires to the DC power source. The Power LED should indicate the presence of power.
WARNING: Note the wire colors used in making the positive and negative connections. Use the same color assignment for the connection at the DC power source. -
Insert the SFP Fiber transceiver into the SFP receptacle on the GX/T.
NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver must be in the closed (up) position before insertion.
Connect the RJ-45 port via a Category 5 or better cable to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet device.
When connecting the dual-fiber models, the miConverter transmitter (Tx) must attach to the receiver side of its link partner; the receiver (Rx) must attach to the transmitter.
When using single-fiber (SF) media converter models, the Tx wavelength on one end has to match the Rx wavelength on the other. Based on this guideline, the SF media converter models must be used in pairs, such as the 1230-1 matched with the 1231-1.
