Product Overview
The SP362B/SP363B 1000BASE-TX to 1000BASE-SX/LX converter is primarily
designed for larger and higher bandwidth demanding workgroups that require
expansion of the Ethernet network. SP362B/SP363B features a RJ45 jack and
an SC fiber optic connectors, connecting the 1000BASE-TX network to the
1000BASE-SX/LX (fiber optic) network. At full duplex mode, the converter can
extend distances up to 55o meters for Multi-mode fiber and up to 20 kilometers
for Single-mode fiber.
The SP373 Series 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX converter is primarily
designed for larger and higher bandwidth demanding workgroups that require
expansion of the Ethernet network. SP373 Series Converter features a RJ45 jack
and an ST/SC/MT-RJ/VF-45 fiber optic connectors, connecting the 10/100Mbps
network to the 100BASE-FX (fiber optic) network. At full duplex mode, the
converter can extend distances up to 2 kilometers for Multi-mode fiber and up to
75 kilometers for Single-mode fiber.
To respond to the immediate need in the 10Base Fiber Environment, Micronet
now offers 10/100Base-T/TX to 10Base-FL switching Media Converter Series to
meet such 10Base-FL environment demand.
All of SP362B/SP363B/SP373/SP328 Series converter is wall mountable, and
mountable in SP386 chassis.
Installation
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:
1. The ambient temperature should be between 0 to 40 degrees Celsius.
2. The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non condensing.
3. Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field
(RFC) standards for IEC 801 3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
2
4. 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.
Follow the steps to install the media converter. This Converter is a plug-and-play
device.
1. Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle at the back
of the converter.
2. Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100 to
240 VAC.
SP362B/SP363B Gigabit Converter
This converter provides one TX port and one FX port. For the FX port, it provides
options of either multi-mode (SP362B) or single-mode (SP363B) fiber
accommodating SC connector. For the TX port, it uses RJ-45 connector and
supports Auto-Uplink.

DIP Setting of SP362B/SP363B
Port settings are made very simple by means of a DIP (Dual Inline Package)
switch at the front panel of the module. The default setting is auto negotiation as
shown below. If the Pin 1 is on, it means the fiber port will automatically choose
Full Duplex or Half Duplex. User could toggle off Pin 1 to force the fiber port at
Full Duplex. Pin 2 is now reserved for future use.
SP373 Series 10/100TX to 100FX Converter
This converter provides one TX port and one FX port. For the FX port, it provides
options of either multi-mode or single-mode fiber accommodating
ST/SC/MT-RJ/VF-45 connector. For the TX port, it uses RJ-45 connector and
supports auto senses the speed of 10/100Mbps.

DIP Setting of SP373 Series
Port settings are made very simple by means of a DIP (Dual Inline Package)
switch at the rear panel of the module. The default setting is auto negotiation as
shown below. A connected network device might fail to respond to the auto
negotiation mechanism due to various reasons, and therefore, this DIP switch
allows user to manually adjust the TX/RX speed and duplex modes.
There are six pins on the DIP switch for port settings. Refer to the table below for
5
more details.

First, disconnect the converter from the power. Then toggle Pin 5 of the DIP
switch to the ON position to disable the default setting. Please note that the Pin 5
must be toggled on prior to any port settings manually.
z Toggle on Pin 1 to force the TX port at speed of 100Mbps. Toggle on Pin 2
for 10Mbps speed.
z Toggle on Pin 3 to force the TX port at full duplex mode. Toggle on Pin 4 for
half duplex mode.
z Toggle on Pin 6 to force the FX port at full duplex mode.
Note: If Pin 1 and Pin 2 are toggled on at the same time, the TX port will be set at
10Mbps. If Pin 3 and Pin 4 are toggled on at the same time, the TX port will be set
at half duplex mode.
Connect the converter to the power again. The new setting will come into effect
then. For example: For TX port at 100Mbps, full duplex and FX port at 100Mbps,
full duplex, the DIP switch will be as shown below.
SP328 Series 10/100TX to 10FL Converter
This converter provides one TX port and one FX port. For the FX port, it provides
options of either multi-mode or single-mode fiber accommodating ST connector.
For the TX port, it uses RJ-45 connector and supports auto senses the speed of
10/100Mbps.
