Introduction
The SignamaxGigabit Ethernet Media Converter, provides one channel for media conversion
between 1000BaseSX/LX to 1000BaseLX. It can be used as a stand-alone device or with a
standard 19” chassis as shown below.
Product Overview
Figure 1: 1000BaseT  1000BaseSX/LX Media Converter
<NOTE> The chassis is to be ordered separately.
Product Features
ŸOne-channel media conversion between
1000BaseT and 1000BaseSX/LX
1000BaseSX/LX and 1000BaseLX
ŸFiber media connection allows either:
1) multi-mode fiber that uses the SC connector, or
2) single-mode fiber that uses the SC connector
ŸFull wire-speed forwarding rate
ŸFront panel status LEDs
ŸUsed as a stand-alone device or with a chassis
ŸHot-swappable when used with a chassis
1000T1000SX/LX Media Converter
ŸThereare two pins on the DIP switch of the 1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-SX/LX one-channel
media converter:
Toggle up the pin on the left-hand side to let the fiber port auto detect full and half duplex and toggle
down the pin on the left-hand side to force the fiber port to full duplex mode. The pin on the right-hand
side should always be toggled up.
ŸThe fiber port should be forced to full duplex mode when two 1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-
SX/LX one-channel media converters are connected to each other via fiber port.
ŸThe TX port auto detects full and half duplex
ŸThe TX port supports auto MDIX for uplink purpose

Installation
This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the Converter.
Selecting a Site for the Equipment
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not be subjected to
extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select
should meet the following requirements:
-The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 40
degrees Celsius).
-The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non-condensing.
-Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC)
standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
-Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation
holes on each side of the switch or the fan exhaust port on the side or rear of the equipment.
-The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the media converter.
Connecting to Power
This Converter is a plug-and-play device.
Step 1: Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacleat the back of the
converter.
Step 2: Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.
Installing in a Chassis
The Converter is designed to fit into any of the expansion slots on a SignamaxFO-065-1185
rackmount chassis.
Step 1: Unscrew the carrier from the desired expansion slot on the chassis.
Step 2: Fit the converter onto the carrier and use those four screws to secure it.
Step 3: When the converter is completely seated onto the carrier, insert the carrier to the guide
rails of the expansion slot.
Step 4: Carefully slide in the carrier until it is fully and firmly fit the chassis.
Step 5: Fasten the carrier to the chassis by the screws.
<NOTE> Never insert any converter into the chassis directly without using the
supplied carriers. The carriers allow secure and consistent placement
of the converters into the chassis’ backplane without causing any
damage.
