OVERVIEW:
The
iConverter
standalone fiber-to-fiber media converters
provide single-mode (SM) to multimode (MM), dual fiber
to single-fiber, wavelength conversion and fiber extension.
Fixed-fiber models are available for Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and SONET/SDH applications.
The Small Form Pluggable (SFP) model is protocol
transparent and also supports Fibre Channel.

Refer to the SFP data sheet for supported transceivers.
To power the unit using a DC power source, prepare a
power cable using a two conductor insulated wire (not
supplied) with a 14 AWG gauge minimum. Cut the
power cable to the length required. Strip approximately
3/8 of an inch of insulation from the power cable wires.
Connect the power cables to the unit by fastening the
stripped ends to the DC power connector.
Connect the power wires to the DC power source. The
Power LED should indicate the presence of power.
WARNING: Note the wire colors used in making the
positive and negative connections. Use the same color
assignment for the connection at the DC power source.
NOTE: If mounting with a safety ground attachment,
use the safety ground screw at the rear of the unit.
2. When using an SFP model (8699-0), insert the SFP
Fiber transceiver into the SFP receptacle on the
module.
Note: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver
must be in the closed position before insertion. The
transceivers installed must have matching speeds
to operate.
3. Attach an appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber
cable to each fiber connector. The transmit cable (Tx)
must attach to the receive side on the other device; the
receive cable (Rx) must attach to the transmit.
4. When using single-fiber (SF) models, the Tx wavelength
on one end must match the Rx wavelength on the other
and the converters must be used in matched pairs
(example: model 8670-1 must be matched with model
8671-1).

LINK MODES:
The
iConverter
standalone fiber-to-fiber media converters
support two different linking modes.
Fig. 1 Link Modes
In Link Propagate (LP) mode (sometimes referred to as
Link Loss Carry Forward), a port transmits a Link signal
only when receiving a Link on the other front-plane port,
and a loss of a received Link at one port causes the other
front-plane port to stop transmitting its link signal. For
example, P1 transmits a Link only when receiving a Link
at P2 [Fig 1(a)].
In Remote Fault Detection (RFD) mode, a port transmits
a Link signal only when both itself and the other port are
receiving Link signals. A loss of a received Link signal at
a port is Looped-back and the port stops transmitting a
Link signal. The same loss of Link is propagated to the
other port which also stops transmitting the Link signal.
For example, the loss of Link into P2 causes both P1 and
P2 ports to stop transmission of the Link signal [Fig 1(b)].
Note: Connecting two adjacent converters which
are both set to RFD is not permitted and will cause a
“deadly embrace” lockup.

This DIP-Switch has no effect. The LS function of this DIP-
Switch has been disabled to enhance compatibility with
third-party fiber optic devices.
iConverter
fiber-to-fiber media
converters normally operate in LP mode.
Remote Fault Detection Switch “RFD” Dip-Switch:
When in the Remote Fault Detection “RFD” position, the
Remote Fault Detection mode is enabled and LP mode
is disabled. When in the Normal “Norm” position (fac-
tory setting), Remote Fault Detection is disabled and LP
mode is enabled.

INSTALL STANDALONE MODULE AND
CONNECT CABLES
1. For wall-mounting, attach the converter to a wall,
backboard or other flat surface. For tabletop
installations, place the unit on a flat surface. Attach the
rubber feet to the bottom of the converter to prevent
the unit from sliding. Make sure the unit is placed in a
safe, dry and secure location.
To power the unit using the AC/DC adapter, connect
the AC/DC adapter to an AC outlet. Then connect the
barrel plug at the end of the wire on the AC/DC adapter
to the 2.5mm DC barrel connector (center-positive) on
the unit. Confirm that the unit has powered up properly
by checking the power status LED located on the front
of the unit.
