CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
2. OVERVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This User Manual describes the functions of the Gigabit 802.3bt PoE++ and the Gigabit Industrial 802.3bt PoE++ media converters.
The LGC5600A and LGC5700A are media converters that convert 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 to 1000BASE-X or 100BASE-X ber and
support Power-over-Ethernet (60 W PoE++).
GIGABIT 802.3BT POE++ MEDIA CONVERTER
Equipment that provides DC power over twisted-pair cable is called Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). Equipment that is powered over
twisted-pair cable is called a Powered Device (PD).
The LGC5600A and LGC5700A are PSE equipment supporting IEEE 802.3af PoE, IEEE 802.3at PoE+, and IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ 60 W
on the RJ-45 port.

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
SW1 - Fiber Speed: Auto/100
This DIP switch congures 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.

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.

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
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, classication,
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 ber port will remain unaffected.
Asymmetrical Link Propagate
In Asymmetrical Link Propagate mode, faults are propagated based on the port notation. Port 1 (ber) 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.

DOWN DOWN Link Segment (LS)

DOWN UP Asymmetrical Link Propagate Port 2 (RJ-45) to Port 1 (ber)
UP UP Invalid Conguration
SW14 - PSE Reset: Off/P1 Lk Loss
The module can be congured to reset the PoE++ output power for 2 seconds after a loss of receive link on the ber port. This feature
is typically used to allow a PD to re-initialize after a failure on the incoming ber.
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 ber port. When this DIP switch is in the DOWN “Off” (default) position, PoE++ output power does not reset
on a ber loss.
SW15 and SW16 - Reserved
This DIP switch must be left in the DOWN (default) position.

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
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. Conrm that the module has powered up properly by checking
the Power LED located on the front of the module.
Installation of the equipment should be such that the air ow in the front, back, side and top vents of the chassis are not compromised
or restricted.
Secure the grounding wire to the ground screw. See the gure below for the location of the grounding screw.
REAR VIEW OF THE LGC5600A WITH AC POWER CONNECTOR
NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE CHASSIS OR
SERVICE THE POWER SUPPLY. OPENING THE
CHASSIS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURYOR DEATH.
THERE ARE NO USER REPLACEABLE OR
SERVICEABLE PARTS IN THIS UNIT.
WARNING!!!
DC Power for LGC5700A
A power source should be available within 5 ft. (1.5-m) of the module. The over-current protection for connection with centralized
DC shall be provided in the building installation, and shall be a UL listed circuit breaker rated 20 Amps, and installed per the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70.
The LGC5700A requires 50 to 57 VDC @ 1.16 Amp max rated power (see specication table). Appropriate overloading protection
should be provided on the DC power source outlets used.
WARNING: OnlyaDC power source that complies with
safety extra low voltage (SELV) requirements can be
connected to the DC-input power supply.
