2. Installation
This section describes the functionalities of the Industrial Gigabit Media
Converter’s components and guides how to install it on the desktop.
Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read this chapter
completely before continuing.
2.1 Product Description
Flexibility and Network Distance Extension Solution
The IGT-1205AT Industrial Gigabit Media Converter is equipped with
one 10/100/1000Base-T auto-negotiation port and two 100/1000X
SFP slots. The two SFP slots are compatible with 1000Base-SX / LX
or 100Base-FX through SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable) ber-optic
transceiver; the two SFP slots allow changing the operation speed mode
with its built-in DIP switch. The ber optical uplink capability guarantees
the throughput to all nodes hooked into the network and the Gigabit
Ethernet distance can be extended from 550 meters (Multi-Mode ber
cable) up to 10/20/30/40/50/70/120 kilometers (Single-Mode ber
cable), also the Fast Ethernet distance can be extended from 2km
(Multi-Mode ber cable) up to 20/40/60 kilometers (Single-Mode ber
cable). They are well suited for applications within the factory data
centers and distributions.
Adjustable 3-Port Switch Mode or 2 Fiber Port Redundant Mode
Via the built-in DIP-switch, the two SFP ber interfaces of IGT-1205AT
can be congured as Ethernet switch mode or Fiber Redundant mode.
With the Ethernet switch mode, it can operate Store-and-Forward
mechanism with high performance; with the 2-Port Fiber Redundant
mode, it provides redundancy of link for highly critical Ethernet
applications. The redundant mode supports auto-recover function. If
the destination port of a packet is link down, it forwards the packet to
the other port of the backup pair.
Environmentally Hardened Design
With IP30 metal industrial case protection, the IGT-1205AT provides a
high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy
electrical surges which are usually found on plant oors or in curb side

11
trafc control cabinets. It also possesses an integrated power supply
source with wide range of voltages (12 to 48V DC or 24V AC) for
worldwide high availability applications requiring dual or backup power
inputs. Being able to operate under the temperature range from -40
to 75 degrees C, the IGT-1205AT can be placed in almost any difcult
environment. The compact IP30 standard metal case of IGT-1205AT
allows either DIN rail or wall mounting for efcient use of cabinet
space.
Robust Gigabit Media Converter Performance
The IGT-1205AT offers wire-speed packets transfer performance without
risk of packet loss. The high data throughput of the device makes it
ideal for most Gigabit environments. With a 6Gbps internal fabric and
featuring auto negotiation support in its Gigabit port, the IGT-1205AT
Industrial Gigabit Media Converter can handle large amounts of data in
a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers.
The ow control function enables the IGT-1205AT to provide fast and
reliable data transfer. The RJ-45 copper interface in the IGT-1205AT
supports 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation for optimal speed
detection through RJ-45 Category 6, 5 or 5e cables. The standard
Auto-MDI/MDI-X support can detect the type of connection to any
Ethernet device without requiring special straight or crossover cables.

2.1.6 Cabling
10/100/1000Base-T and 100Base-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX
The 10/100/1000Base-T port comes with Auto-Negotiation capability.
It automatically supports 1000Base-T, 100Base-TX and 10Base-T
networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into
the 10/100/1000Base-T port, and then turn on the Industrial Gigabit
Media Converter. The port will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps,
100Mbps or 200Mbps and 1000Mbps or 2000Mbps after the negotiation
with the connected device.

17
The Industrial Gigabit Media Converter has two SFP interfaces that
supports 100/1000 dual speed mode (Optional Multi-mode / Single-
mode 100Base-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX SFP module) through DIP switch
setting.
Cabling
The 10/100/1000Base-T port uses RJ-45 socket -- similar to phone jack
-- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3
/ 802.3u / 802.3ab Fast / Gigabit Ethernet standard requires Category
5 UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T networks can use Cat.3, 4,
5 or 1000Base-T uses 5/5e/6 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance
is 100 meters (328 feet). The 100Base-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX SFP slot
is used as LC connector with optional SFP module. Please see table
below and know more about the cable specications.

Any Ethernet devices like hubs/ PCs can be connected to the Industrial
Gigabit Media Converter by using straight-through wires. The
10/100/1000Mbps port is auto-MDI/MDI-X and can be used on straight-
through or crossover cable.
2.1.6.1 Installing the SFP Transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP transceiver into an SFP slot.
The SFP transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can
plug in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP port without having
to power down the Industrial Gigabit Media Converter as Figure 2-3
shows.
