Fig. 4 Board Mounted DIP-Switches
Backplane A Enable “BPAEN” DIP-Switch
When the “BPAEN” DIP-Switch is in the right position,
the A 10/100 Ethernet backplane port is enabled. This
port allows connection to an adjacent module (in the
same chassis) via the backplane A link of the chassis.
When the “BPAEN” DIP-Switch is in the left “off”
position (factory setting), the A port is isolated from
the backplane.
Backplane B Enable “BPBEN” DIP-Switch
When the “BPBEN” DIP-Switch is in the right position,
the B 10/100 Ethernet backplane port is enabled. This
port allows connection to an adjacent module (in the
same chassis) via the chassis’ backplane B link. When
the “BPBEN” DIP-Switch is in the left “off” position
(factory setting), the B port is isolated from the
backplane.
Fiber Port 1 Auto/Manual “ P1 AN/MAN” DIP-Switch
When the P1 AN/MAN switch is in the “AN” (left) position
(factory setting) it enables Port 1 to determine duplex
mode automatically. If the device connected to Port 1
cannot provide the proper signal to indicate its own
mode of operation, then the DIP-Switch should be set
to the “MAN” (right) position, forcing Port 1 to
Full-Duplex mode.
Fiber Port 2 Auto/Manual DIP-Switch (P2 AN/MAN)
When the P2 AN/MAN switch is in the “AN” (left)
position (factory setting) it enables Port 2 to
determine duplex mode automatically. If the device
connected to Port 2 cannot provide the proper signal
to indicate its own mode of operation, then the
DIP-Switch should be set to the “MAN” (right) position,
forcing Port 2 to Full-Duplex mode.
NOTE: When a 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.

DIP-SWITCH SETTINGS
Front Panel DIP-Switch Settings
Fig. 3 Front Panel DIP-Switches
Link Segment/Link Propagate “LS/LP” DIP-Switch
This DIP-Switch controls the Link Propagate or Link
Segment modes. When the DIP-Switch is in the “LS”
position (factory setting), Link Segment mode is enabled.
In the “LP” position, Link Propagate mode is enabled.
Remote Fault Detection “RFD” DIP-Switch
To enable Remote Fault Detection mode, set the “RFD”
DIP-Switch to the “RFD” position.
To enable RFD + LS mode, also set the LS/LP DIP-
Switch to the “LS” position. To enable RFD + LP mode,
set the LS/LP DIP-Switch to the “LP” position.
The RFD DIP-Switch selection is ignored on ports set to
Auto-Negotiation mode.
NOTE: Connecting two converters with both set to RFD
mode is not supported and will cause a “deadly embrace”
lockup.
Symmetrical Fault Detection “SFD” DIP-Switch
To enable Symmetrical Fault Detection mode, set the
“SFD” DIP-Switch to the “SFD” position, the “LS/LP”
DIP-Switch to the “LS” position and the “RFD”
DIP-Switch to the “Off” position.
GX/X SPECIFICATIONS
MOUNTING AND CABLE ATTACHMENT
The iConverter modules are hot-swappable and can
be installed into any chassis in the
iConverter family.
To install the module in a chassis, perform the following
steps:
1. Carefully slide the iConverter module into the
installation slot, aligning the module with the
installation guides. Ensure that the module is firmly
seated against the backplane.
2. Secure the module in the chassis by using the
panel fastener screw (attached to the module).
3. Connect the appropriate multimode or single-mode
fiber cable to a 1000BASE-X Ethernet device.
NOTE: The iConverter transmit (Tx) must attach to the
receive side on other device; the receive (Rx) must
attach to the transmit.
4. When using single-fiber (SF) media converter
models, the Tx wavelength on one end has to match
the Rx wavelength on the other.
NOTE: Based on this guideline, the SF media converter
models must be used in pairs, such as the 8550-01
matched with the 8551-01.

It is recommended when connecting two GX/X modules
together to use port 1 as the common port between
modules (or port 1 to port 2).
The GX/X should not be installed in the 1-slot chassis
because of power and heat constraints.
