In the following sections, the term “FT-80x/GT-80x” indicates the
product family above; the term “MM” and “SM” represent Multi-
Mode and Single Modeberoptic, respectively.
Right View (GT-80x)
There are one RJ45 twisted-pair jack (auto-MDI/MDI-X), one ber-
optic connector (may vary by model) and four LED indicators. Also
one DIP switch for Link-Fault Passthrough (LFP) feature and “ON”
to turn on the LLCF and LLR detection. And “OFF” to turn o the
feature. Please refer to the following sections for more.

6. Duplex Mode Support
The FT-80x TP port supports duplex mode detection by auto-
negotiation (A-N). It will auto detect the link speed and the duplex
mode by default. And will auto return to 100 or 10Mbps half-duplex
mode with its link partner. The ber port supports DIP switch
selection for full duplex (default) or half duplex.
The GT-80x TP port supports triple speed -- 10/100/1000BASE-T,
auto-negotiation. It will auto detect the link speed and the duplex
modeby defaultwith itslink partner.The berport (1000BASE-SX/
LX) allows 1000Mbps full duplex by auto-negotiation. Please also
check the setting of the link partner as well.

4. Link Fault Passthrough (LFP)
The LFP function includes the Link-Fault-Passthrough function
(LLCF/LLR) and the DIP Switch design. LLCF/LLR can immediately
alarm administrators the problem of the link media and provide
ecient solution to monitor the network. The DIP Switch will
disable or enable the LFP function.
LLCF (Link Loss Carry Forward) means when a device is connected
tothe converter and theTPline loses the link, the converter’sber
will disconnect the link of transmission. LLR (Link Loss Return)
means when a device is connected to the converter and the ber
line loses the link, the converter’s ber will disconnect the link of
transmission.
Note
LFP function is ON by default setting. If you are
familiar with the network installation and for diagnostic
purpose (i.e. check which end is broken), you can turn
it off and reset the converter to make it take effect.
Otherwise, please remain it in the default position.
5. Installing The Converter
To install FT-80x/GT-80x stand-alone unit on a desktop or shelf,
simply complete the following steps:
Step 1: Turn o the power of the device/station in a network to
which the FT-80x/GT-80x will be attached.
2. Checklist
Your FT-80x/GT-80x carton should contain the following items:
 The Fast/Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter
 AC-DC Power Adapter (Output: 5V DC, 2A max.)
 This User’s Manual
If any item is missing or damaged, please consult the dealer from
whom you purchased your Fast/Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter.
Note
The GT-805A comes with one vacant SFP module slot.
The mini GBIC SFP module is not bundled with in the
package.
3. Product Outlook
Right View (FT-80x)
There are one RJ45 twisted-pair jack (auto-MDI/MDI-X), one ber-
optic connector (may vary by model) and six LED indicators.

Step 2: Attach ber cable from the FT-80x/GT-80x to the ber
network. TX and RX must be paired at both ends.
Step 3: Attach a Cat. 5/5e/6 UTP cable from the 10/100BASE-TX
or 10/100/1000BASE-T network to the RJ45 port on the
FT-80x/GT-80x.
Step 4: Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the FT-80x/GT-80x
and verify that the Power LED lights up.
Step 5: Turn on the power of the device/station; the TX Link and
FX Link LEDs should light up when all cables are attached.

Note
1. It is recommended to use PLANET MGB-SX/MGB-LX
series 1000BASE-SX/LX SFP on the GT-805A. If you
insert an SFP transceiver that is not supported, the
GT-805A will not recognize it.
2. Please check the link-budget of your SFP trans-
ceivers and its physical wiring distance. In some
installation, a in-line optical attenuator may be
required to protect your transceivers.
