Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing a quality UNICOM product.

Unicom’s VELOCITY Series represents the newest, most advanced generation of signal conversion technology.

Unicom’s Giga Fiber Conver ter is a cost- ef fective solution for the conversion of 10/100/1000Base-T (Auto MDI/MDIX) and pure 1000

Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX cabling. It can be slotted into a multiconver ter chassis that enhances your network flexibility. It can also be used as a stand-alone conver ter.

The Giga Fiber Conver ter will allow you to extend the cabling distance of your 10/100/1000Base-T (Auto MDI/MDIX) or pure 1000 Base-T network up to 550m for multi-mode fiber or 10 kilometers for singlemode fiber. This Conver ter uses the most popular fiber cabling connectors: SC multi- mode fiber connector and SC single-mode fiber connector.

The Modular Giga Fiber Conver ters provides one Fiber connector for fiber optic cable and one Ethernet RJ-45 por t (Auto MDI/MDIX) for

10/100/1000Base-T copper cable or pure 1000 Base-T copper cable connections. There are DIP- switches to set the operation mode for UTP,

Fiber por ts and link lost for warding function.

Cabling

• Twisted-pair segments can be Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or

Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cabling. The cable must comply with the

IEEE 802.3 10/100/1000Base-T standard for Categor y 5e/6. The cable between the conver ter and the link par tner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be 100 meters (328 ft.) or less in length.

• Fiber segments using Single Mode connectors must use 9/125µm

Single Mode fiber cable. The maximum link distance in full duplex operation is 10 Kilometers (6.2 miles). The maximum link distance in half duplex operation is 412 meters (1352 ft).

• The maximum distance of fiber segments using Multi-Mode connectors measures 550 meters (1804 ft.) with 50/125µm or

62.5/125µm Multi-Mode fiber cable.

Network Connection

A. Select the appropriate length Categor y 5e or 6 twisted pair cable.

Connect one end of the twisted pair cable to the RJ-45 connector on the conver ter and the other end of twisted pair cable to the RJ-

45 connector on any 10/100/1000Base-T device.

B. Connect one end of a fiber jumper to the SC connector on this conver ter and the other end of the fiber jumper to the SC connector on the other 1000Base-SX/LX device.

C. Attach the power adapter DC jack to the conver ter. Verify that the

Power LED is on.

D. Verify that the UTP “LK/ACT” LEDs light when cable connection is installed correctly. Verify that Fiber “LK/ACT” LED blinks to indicate network activity.

Troubleshooting

• Verify that you are using the right power adapter, DC 5V, 2A

(minimum). Using a power adapter with DC output greater than 5V could result in damage to the unit and/or personal injur y.

• Confirm the proper UTP/Fiber cable is being used. The Single Mode conver ter must use Single Mode fiber optic cable.

Installing Converters into Chassis

Follow the steps below to install modular conver ters into the 10 space

Conver ter Chassis (pn: FEP-593110).

A. Remove the blank bracket from the chassis by rotating screw counterclockwise. Put the blank bracket aside.

B. Open the rack mount bracket kit. The kit contains two rack mount brackets and four screws.

C. Use a screwdriver to attach the rack mount ears to both sides of the modular conver ter.

D. Install the modular conver ter by inser ting it into the chassis guides and sliding it in until it stops. Press it firmly to seat the chassis power plug into the modular conver ter receptacle.

E. Gently push the thumbscrews in and turn clockwise to tighten.

Do not over tighten.

Hardware Description

The Front Panel

The Front Panel of the 10/100/1000T to 1000SX/LX conver ters consists of one RJ-45 Por t ( Auto MDI/MDIX ) one fiber 1000Base-

SX/LX Por t and 6 LED Indicators (SPD, LK/ACT, FDX, Fiber LK/ACT,

FDX/COL and PWR ).

Ports

• Copper Port: RJ-45 Por t (Auto MDI/MDIX), the Ethernet RJ-45 will features Auto-Sensing for 10/100/1000Base-T connections and

Auto MDI/MDIX which is basically an auto crossover feature. This means you can connect to another Switch or workstation without changing to a crossover cable.

• Fiber Port: This por t is for the 1000Base-SX/LX connection and is available in the SC format in Multi- and Single mode.This fiber por t does not suppor t auto-negotiation.

The Rear Panel

DC IN

The rear panel contains a power socket. This power socket accepts

DC9V voltage and minimum 0.7A supplied current.

LED Indicators

There are six diagnostic LEDs located on the front panel of these conver ters. The LEDs provide real-time information on system status.

The indicators include SPD, LK/ACT, FDX, Fiber LK/ACT, FDX/COL and

PWR. The following table provides describes these LEDs:

Link Lost Forwarding: When LLF is enabled, it will allow copper por t link failure to be repor ted to the Fiber side and will also allow Fiber link failure to be repor ted to the copper side. Therefore, a link loss for ward feature is provided on both copper and Fiber sides.

Pure Converter mode: When Pure Conver ter mode is enabled (ON), the switch operates with the minimum latency. The transmission flow does not wait until an entire frame is ready but instead for wards the received data immediately after being received. The TP should be forced at 1000M in this application.

When the DIP-Switch is in Switch Conver ter mode (OFF), the conver ter function is the same as a Switch Hub.

[Note]

1) Do not change the DIP-switch setting when the copper or fiber por t is transmitting or receiving data. It may cause data error.

2) Power of f, then power on when changing the DIP-switch setting.
