SW1 – Fiber Speed: Auto/100
This DIP switch configures the speed of the transceiver installed in the SFP
receptacle. If this DIP switch is in the DOWN “Auto”
(default) position, the port will automatically detect the data rate of the
transceiver installed and operate at 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps accordingly.
If the automatic detection fails to detect the speed of the installed SFP,
then the speed will be set to 1000 Mbps.
If this DIP switch is in the UP “100” position, a 100 Mbps capable transceiver
must be installed in the SFP receptacle.
When an RJ-45 transceiver is installed in a SFP receptacle, setting this DIP
switch to UP “100” position enables the port to operate at 100 Mbps.
SW2 – Reserved
This DIP switch must be left in the DOWN (default) position.

MAN (UP)| 100 (DOWN)| HDX (UP)| The RJ-45 port is set to manual negotiation
and is forced to 100HDX
MAN (UP)| 10 (UP)| FDX (DOWN)| The RJ-45 port is set to manual negotiation and
is forced to 10FDX
MAN (UP)| 10 (UP)| HDX (UP)| The RJ-45 port is set to manual negotiation and
is forced to 10HDX
SW6 – Pause: Off/On
In auto-negotiation mode, setting this DIP switch to the UP “On” position
allows the module to advertise Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Pause capability.
In auto-negotiation mode, setting the DIP switch to the DOWN “Off” (default)
position allows the module to advertise no Pause capability. In the manual
mode, this DIP switch determines the Pause behavior.
SW7 – Power Sourcing Function: On/Off
The RJ-45 port automatically detects the attached PD and provides the PD with
the necessary power.
This DIP switch controls the power sourcing function for the RJ-45 port. When
this DIP switch in the DOWN “On” (default) position, the power sourcing
function is enabled. When the DIP switch is in the UP “Off” position, the
power sourcing function is disabled.
SW8 – Reserved
This DIP switch must be left in the DOWN (default) position.
SW9 – PSE Power Override: Norm/Force
This DIP switch allows the PoE++ power to be forced ON when connected to a PD
with non-standard detection characteristics.
When this DIP switch is in the DOWN “Norm” (default) position, the RJ-45 port
will automatically perform the detection, classification, and powering
functions for the attached PD. When this DIP switch is in the UP “Force”
position, a maximum of 60 watts of power will be available to the PD.
SW10 and SW11 – Reserved
These DIP switches must be left in the DOWN (default) position.
SW12 and SW13 – Link Modes
The LGC5600A and LGC5700A feature Link Segment and Asymmetrical Link Propagate
fault detection modes.
Link Segment
In Link Segment mode, all ports operate independently. A loss of a receive
link signal will only affect the port detecting the loss
of signal. The other port will continue to generate a link signal. A loss of
link on the RJ-45 port will only affect the RJ-45 port,
and the fiber port will remain unaffected.
Asymmetrical Link Propagate
In Asymmetrical Link Propagate mode, faults are propagated based on the port
notation. Port 1 (fiber) to Port 2 (RJ-45) notation indicates the direction
the loss of link signal will propagate. A loss of receive link on the Fiber
Port 1 causes the RJ-45 Port 2
to drop its link due to the propagated state (Port 1 to Port 2). The loss of
link on the RJ-45 Port 2 does not cause the loss of link
to propagate. The loss only propagates in the Port 1 to Port 2 direction.
NOTE: A loss of link or loss of signal is when the optical receiver on the
media converter can no longer detect the presence
of an optic signal.
LINK MODES
SW12 | SW13 | Function |
---|---|---|
DOWN | DOWN | Link Segment (LS) |
UP | DOWN | Asymmetrical Link Propagate Port 1 (fiber) to Port 2 (RJ-45) |
DOWN | UP | Asymmetrical Link Propagate Port 2 (RJ-45) to Port 1 (fiber) |
UP | UP | Invalid Configuration |
SW14 – PSE Reset: Off/P1 Lk Loss
The module can be configured to reset the PoE++ output power for 2 seconds
after a loss of receive link on the fiber port. This feature is typically used
to allow a PD to re-initialize after a failure on the incoming fiber.
When this DIP switch is in the UP “P1 Lk Loss” position, the module will
disable PoE++ output power for 2 seconds following a loss of receive link on
the fiber port. When this DIP switch is in the DOWN “Off” (default) position,
PoE++ output power does not reset
on a fiber loss.
SW15 and SW16 – Reserved
This DIP switch must be left in the DOWN (default) position.
STEP 2: APPLY POWER
AC Power for LGC5600A
To power the module using the AC/DC adapter, connect the DC plug at the end of
the wire on the AC/DC adapter to the DC connector on the module. Then connect
the AC/DC adapter to the AC outlet. Confirm that the module has powered up
properly by checking
