| Question #429: | I'm having trouble to establish a communication using the µTX2FX. The device has power, the SFP used is MSA compatible and working in another system. What's wrong? |
| Answer: | Please make sure that the connection speeds on the copper- and on the fibre-side of the µTX2FX are identical. The PHY-based µTX2FX, in contrast to the Switch-based TX2FX, does NOT support speed translation between its copper and fibre ports. In other words: 100Mbps on copper and 1Gbps on fibre will NOT work, and vice versa. |
| Question #305: | Where can I download a driver for the TX2FX | µTX2FX? |
| Answer: | The TX2FX | µTX2FX is a simple media converter and does not need a driver. Minimal configuration is done using the DIP switches on the PCB. Please check the "TX2FX User Manual" for more info. |
| Question #304: | What IP address is the TX2FX | µTX2FX using? How can I assign a static IP address? |
| Answer: | The TX2FX | µTX2FX is a simple media converter (working on OSI layer 2) and therefore completely transparent to IP traffic. There is no IP address associated with the TX2FX | µTX2FX. |
| Question #427: | I'm having some trouble to connect the copper ethernet header signals of your µTX2FX correctly to my hardware. Which of the DPx signals do I have to use? |
