iConverter XGT+
Plug-in Module User Manual
This User Manual describes the functions of the iConverter XGT+ Revision 1.
Product Overview
The iConverter XGT+ is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet media converter with one 10GBASE-T RJ-45
port and one pluggable transceiver port that provides copper-to-ber and copper-to-copper
media conversion. Copper-to-ber conversion is achieved with XFP or SFP+ ber transceivers.
Copper-to-copper conversion is achieved with a CX4 XFP transceiver.
The XGT+ supports high-power (power level 4) XFP transceivers, and the latest generation
of wavelength tunable DWDM XFP transceivers.
Installation Procedure
1) Congure DIP-switches
2) Install Standalone Module and Connect Cables
3) Verify Operation
1) CONFIGURE DIP-SWITCHES
DIP-SWITCH BANK 1
The location of the DIP-switches is shown in
Figure 1.
The function of DIP-switch Bank is outlined in Figure 2.
Switch DOWN
(Default) UP
SW1 Normal P1 Loopback Enabled
SW2 Normal P2 Loopback Enabled
SW3 Normal P2 Short Range
SW4 Normal P1 Built-In Self Test (BIST)
Figure 2: DIP-switch BANK 1 Denitions
SW1 - P1 LOOPBACK “P1-LB”
When this DIP-switch is in the DOWN position (factory default), port P1 loopback is disabled.
When this DIP-switch is in the UP “P1-LB” position, loopback is enabled on port P1. When
enabled, all data received on port P1 is transmitted out port P1 and the connection between
port P1 and port P2 is interrupted.
NOTE: For the XFP model, simultaneous loopback of port P1 and port P2 requires the XFP
transceiver to support lineside loopback capability.
SW2 - P2 LOOPBACK “P2-LB”
When this DIP-switch is in the DOWN position (factory default), port P2 loopback is disabled.
When this DIP-switch is in the UP “P2-LB” position, loopback is enabled on port P2. When
enabled, all data received on port P2 is transmitted out port P2 and the connection between
port P2 and port P1 is interrupted.

NOTE: For the XFP model, simultaneous loopback of port P1 and port P2 requires the XFP
transceiver to support lineside loopback capability.
SW3 - P2 Short Range
When this DIP-switch is in the DOWN position (factory default), port P2 short range feature
is disabled. When disabled, port P2 will support up to 100 meters of CAT 6A cabling. When
this DIP-switch is in the UP “P2-SR” position, port P2 will support up to 30 meters of CAT 5E
or better cabling in a reduced power consumption mode.
SW4 - P1 BIST (SFP+ Model Only)
When this DIP-switch is in the DOWN position (factory default), port P1 Built-In Self Test is
disabled. When this DIP-switch is in the UP “P1-Tst” position, the port will transmit a Pseudo
Random Bit Sequence (PRBS).
When two XGT+ converters are connected via port P1 (Port 1 to Port 1), the BIST function is
supported. The XGT+ initiating BIST (DIP-switch SW4 UP) will generate and send a PRBS
pattern out Port 1 to the other module. The receiving XGT+ will detect a good test pattern
and return a PRBS acknowledgement test pattern back to the initiating XGT+.
A successful test will produce a green blinking (5Hz) P1 LB LED on the initiating XGT+ and
a green blinking (1Hz) P1 LB LED on the receiving XGT+. If the initiating XGT+ does not
receive a valid response, the P1 LB LED will be blinking amber (5Hz). When BIST is initiated,
the trafc received on Port 2 of both converters will be discarded.
If loopback has been initiated, the self diagnostic circuit test DIP-switch will be ignored. If self
diagnostic circuit test has been initiated, the loopback DIP-switches will be ignored.
DIP-SWITCH BANK 2
LINK MODES
SW1 and SW2 - LINK MODES
These DIP-switches configure the different link modes available on the XGT+. It is
recommended to have link modes set to Link Segment (default setting - all DOWN) during
the initial installation. After the circuit has been tested and operational, congure the module
for the desired mode. Refer to Figure 3 for conguration options.
SW1 SW2 Function
DOWN DOWN Link Segment (default)
UP DOWN Asymmetrical Link Propagate P1 to P2
DOWN UP Asymmetrical Link Propagate P2 to P1
UP UP Symmetrical Link Propagate

For detailed information on the operation of the different Link Modes, download the application
note “iConverter Link Modes” available on Omnitron’s web page:

SW3 and SW4 - RESERVED
These DIP-switches are for factory use only and must always remain in the DOWN (factory
default) position.

2) INSTALL STANDALONE MODULE AND CONNECT CABLES
The XGT+ module must be installed using the following chassis congurations/guidelines:
19-Module High Airow Chassis 8201-x (AC) or 8207-x (DC). Each 120W High Airow power
supply can support up to 6 iConverter modules installed in the chassis, and three of the six
modules can be XGT+. The XGT+ modules must be installed directly in front of the installed
High Airow power supply and the slot on the right side of the installed XGT+ module must
be empty. All empty slots must have a blank panel installed. The other iConverter modules
can be installed anywhere in the chassis.
A maximum of nine XGT+ modules can be installed in a 19-Module High Airow Chassis. All
empty slots must have a blank panel installed.
5-Module High Airow Chassis 8221-x (AC) or 8227-x (DC). An XGT+ module can be installed
in all slots. All empty slots must have a blank panel installed.
2-Module High Airow Chassis 8232-1 (AC) or 8238-1 (DC). Only one XGT+ can be installed
in the chassis. The other slot can have another iConverter module installed (NMM2, 10/100M2,
etc). If the slot is empty, it must have a blank panel installed.
1-Module Chassis is not supported with the XGT+ (recommend using a standalone model).
Refer to the iConverter XG, XG+ and XGT+ Chassis Installation Guidelines for Airow and
Cooling Application Note 002-A0006 for more detailed information.
The iConverter XGT+ can be used in a managed conguration by installing a Management
Module (such as an iConverter NMM2 or 10/100M2) that provides monitoring, conguration
and trap notication in the same chassis.
a. Carefully slide the XGT+ module into an open slot in the chassis. Align the module with
the installation guides and ensure that the module is rmly seated against the backplane.
Secure the module by fastening the front panel thumbscrew (push in and turn clockwise
to tighten) to the chassis front. Verify the “Pwr” LED is ON (indicating the chassis is
powered).
Caution: Use proper ESD protection to reduce the risk of damage to your equipment.
b. Insert the appropriate 10G SFP+ or XFP transceiver (depending on the model of the
module) into Port 1 receptacle on the XGT+. The release latch of the transceiver must
be in the closed position before insertion.
NOTE: The release latch of the transceiver must be in the closed position before insertion.
c. When using copper CX4 XFP, connect the cable between the converter and external
device using the recommended copper CX4 cable.
d. Connect the RJ-45 port via a CAT 6A or better cable to a 10GBASE-T Ethernet device.
