LPS1000A User’s Guide
The LPS1000A media converters enable
businesses to provide power to network
devices over the existing CAT5 data
connection. The LPS1000A AC powered PoE
media converters combine data received over a
fiber optic link with -48VDC power, provides
power to Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and
Power Devices (PD) over unshielded twisted
pair cable. These PoE converters are Power
Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and are fully compatible with Powered Devices (PD) that
comply with the IEEE802.3af standard. In addition, these converters have PD signature
sensing and power monitoring features per the IEEE 802.3af standard.

Product features
AutoCross
The AutoCross™ feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X)
cables to be used when connecting to 10/100Base-TX devices, such as wireless access
points, VoIP phones, network cameras, etc. AutoCross determines the characteristics of
the cable connection and automatically configures the unit to link up, regardless of the
cable configuration devices.
Automatic Link Restoration
Black Box converters will automatically re-establish link in all network conditions:
• Without a device reset, the converters will automatically re-establish the link when
connected to switches after a link loss.
• With Auto-Negotiation enabled, automatic link restoration allows using AutoNegotiation with Link Loss Notification.
• With Link Pass-Through enabled in both directions, automatic link restoration
allows using Link Loss Notification in both directions.
Auto-Negotiation
The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the media converter to bring up the copper link to
the highest speed and mode possible for all the attached network devices.

Link Pass-Through
The Link Pass-Through allows the media converter to monitor both the fiber and
copper RX (receive) ports for loss of signal. In the event of a loss of an RX signal
on one media port, the media converter will automatically disable the TX
(transmit) signal of the other media port, thus, “passing through” the link loss.
The far-end device is automatically notified of the link loss, which prevents the
loss of valuable data unknowingly transmitted over an invalid link. See diagram
below.
Power Detect Reset
With the PSE/LTP switch enabled, a loss of the Fiber RX link will disable PSE power
output on the UTP power for 2 seconds to allow the remote device to reinitialize.
Fiber redundancy
The LPS1000A-2SFP media converter has two fiber SFP ports: one can be configured
as the primary port and one as the secondary port. When redundancy is enabled (SW14
Down, model LPS1000A-2SFP), any fault on the primary port results in the secondary
port becoming operational. When redundancy is disabled, the device operates as a
three-port switch.
Full-Duplex network
In a full-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by the type of cables
that are used. (The 512-Bit Rule does not apply in a full-duplex network.)
Half-Duplex network (512-Bit Rule)
In a half-duplex network, the maximum cable lengths are determined by the round trip
delay limitations of each Fast Ethernet collision domain. (A collision domain is the
longest path between any two terminal devices, e.g., a terminal, switch, router, etc.)
The 512-Bit Rule determines the maximum length of cable permitted by calculating
the round-trip delay in bit-times (BT) of a particular collision domain. If the result is
less than or equal to 512 BT, the path is good.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The LPS1000A media converter transmits electrical power along with data to
remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network.
Note: Legacy powered devices that are not IEEE802.3af compliant can be power
provided that the polarity matches that list below.
There are two modes of transmitting 48VDC PoE as defined in IEEE 802.3af:
Alternative A (default) uses pins 1&2(+), 3&6(-) to transmit data and power.
Alternative B uses pins 4&5(+), 7&8(-) to transmit power without data. These are
the spare pairs in 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX device configurations; therefore,
Mode B requires a 4-pair cable.
To set A or B PoE alternatives, do the following:
1. Remove the 4 screws on the and then remove the cover from the media
converter.
2. Locate the 3 header connects J2, J3, and J4 on the circuit board.
3. Set jumpers 2, 3, and 4 to the same side, either (A or B). See diagram below.

IMPORTANT: Copper based media ports, e.g., Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet, USB,
RS232, RS422, RS485, DS1, DS3, Video Coax, etc., are intended to be connected to
intra-building (inside plant) link segments that are not subject to lightening transients
or power faults. Copper based media ports, e.g., Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet, USB,
RS232, RS422, RS485, DS1, DS3, Video Coax, etc., are NOT to be connected to interbuilding (outside plant) link segments that are subject to lightening transients or power
faults. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to equipment.
Troubleshooting
If the media converter fails, isolate and correct the fault by determining the answers to
the following questions and then take the indicated action:
1. Is the media converter power LED ON?
NO:
• Is the barrel connector fully inserted into the media converter?
• Is the adapter plugged into an AC outlet; if not, plug it into the outlet.
• Is the AC outlet active; if not, check the outlet’s circuit beaker?
• Contact 24-hour technical support : 1-724-746-5500
YES
• Proceed to step 2.
2. Is the POE LED ON?
NO
• Is there an active (connected to anther device ) RJ-45 cable inserted into
the media converter's TX port; if not, insert the cable accordingly.
Is the power turned ON to the other device?
• Contact 24-hour technical support : 1-724-746-5500
YES
• Go to step 3.
3. Is the TX LACT LED ON
NO
• Check the twisted pair cables for proper installation in the device at both
ends.
• Disconnect and reconnect the twisted pair cable to restart the initialization
process.
• Restart the attached device to restart the initialization process.
• Check that the AutoCross switch is in the UP position (enabled).
• Contact 24-hour technical support : 1-724-746-5500
YES
• Go to step 4.

Troubleshooting -- continued
4. Is the FL LINK LED ON?
NO
• Check the fiber cables for proper connection.
• Verify that the TX and RX cables on the media converter are connected to
the RX and TX ports, respectively, on the other device.
• Disconnect and reconnect the fiber cable to restart the initialization
process.
• Restart the attached device to restart the initialization process.
• Contact 24-hour technical support : 1-724-746-5500
YES
• Proceed to step 5.
5. Is data being passed through the device?
NO
• Ensure the Powered Device (PD) IEEE 802.3af compliant.
• Ensure the load to the Powered Device (PD) is less than 0.4 Amp.
• Is a data source connected; if not, connect a data source to the media
converter.
• Is the data source active; if not, start sending data.
• Are the FX and TX LACT LEDs flashing?
