RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency en-
ergy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio
communication. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications
in subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in
a residential area is likely to be cause interference, in which case the
user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures
may be necessary to correct the interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party respon-
sible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise
emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regu-
lation of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques
dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numéirques de las classe
A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié
par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

Description:
The FlexPoint Gx converts between 1000Base-X (Sx/Lx)
Gigabit Ethernet fiber and 1000Base-T twisted pair (RJ45
UTP) cabling. The fiber optic (F/O) port supports
Auto-Negotiation (AN) which automatically detects and
advertises the Duplex and Pause ability of the connected
remote device. The multimode (MM) and single-mode
(SM) models are described here:

Power Adapter Notice:
1. When using in a stand-alone configuration, this product
is intended to be and must be used only with a Listed
Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked “Class 2” and rated
at 9Vdc, 1 Amp.
2. This product should only be used with Black Box Supplied
Power Unit.
Mounting and Cable Attachment:
The FlexPoint Gx can be mounted standalone using a
wall-mounting kit or a DIN-rail bracket. It can also be
rack-mounted using a 5-unit shelf or a high-density
14-unit FlexPoint Powered Chassis. An 18-60VDC power
adapter is available for standalone or DIN-rail mounted
applications.
Attach the FlexPoint Gx UTP via a category 5 or higher
cable to a 1000Base-T Ethernet device. Attach the
FlexPoint Gx fiber via a single-mode or multimode (as
needed) cable to a 1000Base-X Gigabit Ethernet device
(make sure to use the correct wavelength source for the
model being used). The FlexPoint transmit (Tx) must
attach to the receive side on the other device; the receive
(Rx) must attach to the transmit.
DIP-Switch Settings:
F/O Auto-Negotiation “Auto-Neg/Manual” DIP-Switch:
When the FlexPoint Gx is connected to a UTP device
and a F/O device, the F/O Auto-Negotiation transparently
allows the two devices to negotiate Duplex and Pause
modes with each other.
Setting this DIP-switch to “Auto-Neg” (factory default)
enables the FlexPoint Gx’s F/O port to detect the Duplex
and Pause modes of the connected F/O device. The
WARNING!
Before inserting the Power Adapter, verify
that the power on the unit is appropriate
for your AC line voltage source.
FlexPoint Gx’s UTP port then negotiates with the
connected UTP device based on the modes detected by
the F/O port. Both the FlexPoint Gx and the
connected F/O device must have their Auto-Negotiation
enabled for this process to work.
Setting this DIP-switch to “Manual” will disable the F/O
port’s ability to detect the Duplex and Pause modes of
the connected F/O device. The FlexPoint Gx’s UTP port
negotiates with the connected UTP device based on the
modes configured by the UTP “Full-Duplex/Half-Duplex”
and “Pause Enable/Pause Disable” DIP-switches.
Note that in F/O Auto-Negotiation (AN) mode,
connecting the F/O cables before connecting the
UTP cables causes the F/O LED to blink steadily. The
blinking LED turns solid when the UTP Link is on.
Note that when F/O Auto-Negotiation is in the
“Enable” position, all the other DIP-switches have
no effect when the links are established.
UTP “Full-Duplex/Half-Duplex” DIP-Switch:
This DIP-switch has no affect if the FlexPoint Gx is in
F/O AN mode. This DIP-switch configures the Duplex
capability when the UTP port is Auto-Negotiating with
the connected UTP device. Setting the DIP-switch to
“Full-Duplex” (factory default) allows the UTP port to
Auto-Negotiate to Full-Duplex or Half-Duplex. Setting
the DIP-switch to “Half-Duplex” forces the UTP port to
Auto-Negotiate only to Half-Duplex.
UTP “Pause Enable/Pause Disable” DIP-Switch:
This DIP-switch has no affect if the FlexPoint Gx is in
F/O AN mode. This DIP-switch configures the Pause
capability when the UTP is Auto-Negotiating with the

connected UTP device. Setting the DIP-switch to
“Pause Enable” (factory default) allows the UTP port to
Auto-Negotiate to Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Pause.
Setting the DIP-switch to “Pause Disable” forces the
UTP port to Auto-Negotiate only to No Pause.
“Link Prop./Link Isolate” DIP-Switch:
This DIP-switch has no affect if the FlexPoint Gx is in
F/O AN mode. Setting this DIP-switch to “Link Prop.”
allows the link state to propagate from the UTP port to
the F/O port, and allows the link state to propagate from
the F/O port to the UTP port. The loss of a receive link
on the F/O port causes the transmit link of the UTP port
to be turned off, and the loss of a receive link on the
UTP port causes the transmit link on the F/O port to be
turned off.
This allows the loss of a link to be propagated and
detected by SNMP or other managed network devices
to which the FlexPoint Gx is connected.
Only the first loss of a receive link detected by the
FlexPoint Gx turns off the transmit link of the other port.
An additional loss of receive link on the other port has no
effect to the FlexPoint Gx. The FlexPoint Gx returns to
normal operation when the first loss of receive link is
restored.
When set to “Link Isolate” (factory default), the generation
and detection of link presence is done at each
point-to-point segment. Loss of a receive link on any
port has no effect on transmit signals of the other port.
