Installation
This module comes equipped with a bank of DIP switches and
jumpers for setting configuration The default switch settings (all
switches in the UP position) will work for most installations. See
the Operations section of this guide for more details.
The following steps are used to configure the Perle Gigabit Media
Converter Module:
1. Insert SFP Module (SFP Models only )
2. Set the Auto-Config jumper (CM-1000 only) (optional)
3. Set the DIP switch settings (optional).
4. Insert the Media Converter Module into the chassis.
5. Connect the fiber cable.
6. Connect the copper cable.
Auto-Config Jumper (CM-1000 only)
The Auto-Config jumper (J6) is located on the upper edge, at the
midpoint of the module. Refer to the diagram below for labelling.
Strapping pins 1 and 2 of the jumper will set the module in SW
mode and strapping pins 2 and 3 will set it in Auto Config mode
(default).
Auto: When set to Auto the module will, at power-up, check its
internal flash memory to see if configuration information has been
downloaded to it from a management module. If so it will use this
as its running configuration. If there is no configuration in flash it
will read the settings of the DIP switches and use those as its
running configuration.
SW: When set to SW (Switch), the module will, at power-up, read
the settings of the DIP Switches and use those as its running
configuration. It will ignore any configuration information in its flash
memory

DIP Switches
DIP Switch Settings
Fiber Negotiation (Switch 1)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default)
Down
Auto
Off
Auto: In this mode of operation the Media Converter will negotiate
Ethernet parameters on both the copper and the fiber connection.
This will ensure the most optimal connection parameters will be in
effect. If connecting to another Perle Gigabit Media Converter, this
parameter should be set to Auto.
Off: Fiber Negotiation should only be turned off, if the fiber
link partner does not support fiber link negotiations
.
When the Fiber Negotiation switch is set to the OFF position, the
Media Converter Module will negotiate the Ethernet parameters
with the copper link partner. The parameters used in this
negotiation will be determined by the Duplex (switch 4) and Pause
(switch 5) switch settings.

Link Mode (Switch 2)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default)
Down
Standard Mode
Smart Link Pass-Through Mode
Standard Mode: In this mode (if Fiber Negotiation is set to OFF),
the links on the fiber and copper sides can be brought up and
down independently of each other. A loss of link on either the fiber
link or copper link can take place without affecting the other
connection.
However, if the Fiber Negotiation (switch 1) is set to Auto, then a
loss of link on the copper side will result in a loss of link on the
fiber side.
Smart Link Pass-Through: In this mode, the link state on one
connection is directly reflected through the Media Converter to the
other connection. If link is lost on one of the connections, then the
other link will be brought down.
If the installation has a Media Converter on both ends of the fiber
link and both are setup for Smart Link Pass-Through, a loss of
copper link on the far end device will propagate through both
Media Converters and will result in a loss of link at the near end
device. This would resemble a direct copper connection.
Fiber Fault Alert (Switch 3)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default)
Down
Enabled
Disabled
Disabled: The Media Converter Module will not monitor for fiber
fault.
Enabled: If the Media Converter Module detects a loss of fiber
signal on the fiber receiver, it will immediately disable its fiber
transmitter signal. This notifies the fiber link partner that an error
condition exists on the fiber connection.
If the remote Media Converter is set up for Fiber Fault Alert (FFA)
Enabled and the local Media Converter is set up with Smart Link
Gigabit Media Converter Module – Installation Guide 6
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Pass-Through enabled, a loss of fiber link on either the transmit or
receive line will be passed through to the local copper connection
thus notifying the connected device.
If the Media Converter Module has been set to Smart Link Pass-
Through mode, the effect will be the same as FFA, since the link
loss on the fiber receiver will result in bringing down the copper
link, which will in turn cause the transmit fiber link to be brought
down.
Note: This feature only takes effect if Fiber Negotiation has been
turned OFF.
The following diagram is an illustration of the operation of this
feature.
(A) – Remote Media Converter setup for Fiber Fault Alert -
Enabled, Fiber Negotiation – OFF and Link Mode – Normal.
(B) – Local Media Converter setup for Smart Link Pass-Through -
Enabled and Fiber Negotiation - OFF
1. – (A) loses fiber connection on its receiver
2. – (A) disables fiber transmitter
3. – (B) detects loss of link in its fiber receiver
4. – (B) drops link on copper connection through Smart Link
Pass-Through
5. – (A) Link on copper connection is not affected.

Duplex (Switch 4)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default)
Down
Auto
Half
Auto: When Fiber Negotiation has been turned off (SW 1), the
Media Converter Module will use this Duplex setting for its
Ethernet parameter negotiation on the copper connection. In the
Auto position, the Media Converter will advertise support for both
Full and Half Duplex mode. The resultant negotiation will provide
the most optimum connection.
Half: The Media Converter Module will force the negotiation to
Half Duplex mode.
Note: The Duplex parameter has no direct effect on the operation
of the Media Converter. These are provided so that the attached
device (near end) can negotiate its Ethernet parameters as if it
was negotiating directly with the far end device. These parameters
on the Media Converter Module should match those of the far end
device.
Pause (Switch 5)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default)
Down
Enabled
Disabled
Enabled: When Fiber Negotiation has been turned Off (SW 1), the
Media Converter Module will use this setting for its Ethernet
parameter negotiation on the copper connection. With this Pause
switch in the Enabled position, the media converter will advertise
support for Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Pause.
Disable: The Media Converter Module will not advertise support
for the Pause feature.
Note: The Media Converter Module will not act on, or generate
any Pause Ethernet messages, but will pass them through to the
end device. This switch setting is provided so that the attached
device (near end) can negotiate its Ethernet parameters as if it
was negotiating directly with the far end device. The Pause switch

setting on the Media Converter Module should match the
capabilities of the far end device.
Loopback (Switch 6)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default)
Down
Disabled
Enabled
Disabled: The loopback feature is disabled. This is the normal
position for regular operation. The switch must be set to this
position in order for data to pass through the Media Converter
Module.
Enabled: This is a test mode. All data received on the receive
(RX) fiber connection is looped back to the transmit (TX) fiber
connection. The state of the copper is not relevant and no data or
link status is passed through to the copper side.

Other Features
Default Operating Mode:
In the default operating mode (all switches up), the Media
Converter Module will auto-negotiate on both the fiber and the
copper links at the same time, thus achieving the best end-to-end
Ethernet operating parameters. If the fiber link is not present, it will
still permit the copper link to be established, but will not negotiate
a fiber link if the copper link is not present. Therefore the device
attached to the Media Converter Module will not see a loss of link
if the fiber connection is lost.
Auto-MDIX with Skew Correction:
Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover)
detects the signalling on the 1000BASE-T interface to determine
the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and
automatically configures the connection. The Media Converter
Module can also correct for wires swapped within a pair.
Error Recovery:
In certain configurations, and under specific conditions where the
Media Converter Module brings down a link to convey status,
there is potential for a deadlock. Recovery is achieved by
momentarily restoring the link to see if the original failure has been
resolved. If it has not, the link will be forced down again, however
if the original problem has been resolved, the link will be restored.
Example: If two Media Converters are setup for FFA. The
detection of a fiber link failure (RX) will cause one Media
Converter to disable its fiber transmitter (TX). This in turn will
cause the other to do the same, and a deadlock condition has
been created. The Media Converter will periodically turn on its
transmitter (TX) to re-start the link and see if the original failure
has been resolved. If not the TX is once again turned off.

Troubleshooting
General
•
Ensure the module is securely seated in the chassis. The
PWR LED on the module should be on solid.
•
Ensure both devices on either end of the fiber are compatible.
If using a simplex fiber connection, ensure that you have both
an Upstream (U) and Downstream (D) Media Converters.
•
•
Ensure all cabling is of the correct type and is in good
operating condition.
For dual-stranded fiber connections, ensure the RX and TX
has been reversed between the two Media Converters.
No connectivity
If unable to get full connectivity with all DIP switches in the UP
position, these methods are recommended for troubleshooting.
Method 1
1. If the Module is a CM-1000, set the Auto-Config jumper (J6) to
SW so that switches are being read.
2. Turn off Fiber Negotiation (SW1 Down) on both Media
Converters. Leave all other switches UP.
3. Connect the near end device to the copper connection. The
LKC LED indicates good copper connection. If the LKC LED is
not lit, then check the copper cable and the attached device.
Repeat for the far end media converter.
4. Connect the fiber cable to both Media Converters. The LKF
LED indicates good fiber connection. If no LKF LED then
check the fiber cabling.
5. Return media converter to the desired configuration.
Method 2:
The fiber connection can also be verified by configuring the remote
Media Converter for loopback mode. The LKF LEDs on both
Gigabit Media Converter Module – Installation Guide 15

Media Converters should be lit. Data should pass through the local
converter, over the fiber connection to the remote converter. At the
remote converter, the data will be looped back and passed
through the fiber, once again, to pass through the local converter
to the copper link.
Note: If troubleshooting a CM-1000, setting the Auto-Config
jumper (J6) to SW will ensure the DIP switches are being read.
