Plug-in Module User Manual
Product Overview
The GX/T2 is a 10/100/1000BASE-T UTP to 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-X modular fiber media
converter that supports jumbo frames up to 10,240 bytes. The GX/T2 features Small Form Pluggable
(SFP) transceivers that support both 100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-X for interoperability with Fast
Ethernet and Gigabit fiber equipment.
Installation Procedure
1) Configure DIP-switches
2) Install Module in Chassis 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 functions of DIP-switch Bank 1 are outlined
in Figure 2.
SW1 and SW2: BACKPLANE ENABLE
When these DIP-switches are in the “DS” position
(factory default), the Backplane Port of the GX/T2
is isolated from the Ethernet Backplane on the
chassis. When these DIP-switches are in the
“EN” position, the Backplane Port is enabled.
This allows Ethernet Backplane connectivity to an
adjacent module via the chassis A/B Backplane
Link depending on the switch setting. Refer to the
chassis user manual for detailed information on
the Ethernet Backplane.
SW3 and SW4: Reserved
These DIP-switches are reserved and must be in the Down (default) position.

DIP-SWITCH BANK 2
The functions of DIP-switch Bank 2 are outlined in Figure 3.
SW1: Port 1 “Auto/100”
This DIP-switch configures the speed of the transceiver installed in Port 1. If the DIP-switch is
in the Down “Auto” (default) position, the port detects the data rate of the transceiver installed
and operates at 100M or 1G accordingly. If the DIP-switch is in the Up “100” position, the port is
expecting a 100M capable transceiver to be installed.
