Page 16
2.5 Making UTP Connections
The 10/100/1000 twisted-pair copper (TP) port supports the following connection types and distances:
Network Cables
10BASE-T: 2-pair UTP Cat. 3,4,5 , EIA/TIA-568B 100-ohm
100BASE-TX: 2-pair UTP Cat. 5, EIA/TIA-568B 100-ohm
1000BASE-T: 4-pair UTP Cat. 5 or higher (Cat.5e is recommended), EIA/TIA-568B 100-ohm
Link distance: Up to 100 meters
Auto MDI/MDI-X Function
This function allows the port to auto-detect the twisted-pair signals and adapts itself to form a valid
MDI to MDI-X connection with the remote connected device automatically. No matter a straight
through cable or crossover cable is connected, the ports can sense the receiving pair automatically and
configure itself to match the rule for MDI to MDI-X connection. It simplifies the cable installation.
Auto-negotiation Function
The port is featured with auto-negotiation function and full capability to support connection to any
Ethernet devices. The port performs a negotiation process for the speed and duplex configuration with
the connected device automatically when each time a link is being established. If the connected device
is also auto-negotiation capable, both devices will come out the best configuration after negotiation
process. If the connected device is incapable in auto-negotiation, the port will sense the speed and use
half duplex for the connection.
Port Configuration Management
For making proper connection to an auto-negotiation INCAPABLE device, it is suggested to set port
configuration to one of non-auto (forced) operating modes and specify speed and duplex mode which
match the configuration used by the connected device.
Two methods for setting copper port configuration are as follows:
1. DIP SW (switches) SW1, SW2, SW3
2. Software management via web interface
Configuration -> Ports -> TP Mode
16
Page 17
2.6 Making Fiber Connection
The mini-GBIC SFP (FX) port must be installed with an SFP fiber transceiver for making fiber
connection. Your device unit may come with an SFP transceiver pre-installed when it was shipped.
Installing SFP Fiber Transceiver
To install an SFP fiber transceiver into mini-GBIC SFP port, the steps are:
1. Turn off the power to the device unit.
2. Insert the SFP fiber transceiver into the mini-GBIC port. Normally, a bail is provided for every
SFP transceiver. Hold the bail and make insertion.
3. Until the SFP transceiver is seated securely in the slot, place the bail in lock position.
Dual Speed Support
The SFP port supports 1000BASE-X based SFP fiber transceivers and 100BASE-FX based SFP fiber
transceivers. Select “Auto” for port configuration. The system will detect the type of the installed
transceiver and configure the port properly and automatically during boot-up.
Connecting Fiber Cables
LC connectors are commonly equipped on most SFP transceiver modules. Identify TX and RX
connector before making cable connection. The following figure illustrates a connection example
between two fiber ports:
Make sure the Rx-to-Tx connection rule is followed on the both ends of the fiber cable.
Network Cables

2.10 Configuring IP Address and Password for the Device
For managed model, the device unit is shipped with the following factory default settings for software
management:
Default IP address of the device: 192.168.0.2 / 255.255.255.0
The IP Address is an identification of the device unit in a TCP/IP network. Each unit should be
designated a new and unique IP address in the network. Refer to Web management interface for
System Configuration.
The managed device is shipped with factory default password 123 for software management. The
password is used for authentication in accessing to the device via web-based interface. For security
reason, it is recommended to change the default settings for the device unit before deploying it to your
network. Refer to Web management interface for System Configuration.

Page 22
3. Functions
To help a better understanding about the software management interfaces, this chapter describes some
advanced functions provided by the media converter.
3.1 Abbreviation
TP Port: The twisted-pair copper port of the media converter device.
FX Port: The optical fiber port of the media converter device.
Ingress Port: Ingress port is the input port on which a packet is received.
Egress Port: Egress port is the output port from which a packet is sent out.
IEEE 802.1Q Packets: A packet which is embedded with a VLAN Tag field
VLAN Tag: In IEEE 802.1Q packet format, 4-byte tag field is inserted in the original Ethernet frame
between the Source Address and Type/Length fields.
VID: VLAN identifier, 12-bit field identifies the VLAN to which the frame belongs to.
Untagged frame: A standard Ethernet frame with no VLAN Tag field
Priority-tagged frame: An IEEE 802.1Q frame which VID field value is zero (VID=0)
VLAN-Tagged frame: An IEEE 802.1Q frame which VID field value is not zero (VID>0)
Double tagging, Double Tags: With the IEEE standard 802.1ad, double-tagging can be useful for
Internet service providers, allowing them to use VLANs internally while mixing traffic from clients
that are already VLAN-tagged. The outer (next to source MAC and representing ISP VLAN) S-TAG
(service tag) comes first, followed by the inner C-TAG (customer tag). In such cases, 802.1ad specifies
a TPID of 0x88a8 for service-provider outer S-TAG.
22
Page 23
C-tag: Tag with TPID 0x8100
S-tag: Tag with TPID 0x88A8
Priority C-tagged frame: Priority tagged frame with C-tag (TPID=0x8100, VID=0)
Priority S-tagged frame: Priority tagged frame with S-tag (TPID=0x88A8, VID=0)
VLAN C-tagged frame: Tagged frame with C-tag (TPID=0x8100, VID>0)
VLAN S-tagged frame: Tagged frame with S-tag (TPID=0x88A8, VID>0)
PVID (Port VID): PVID is the default VID of an ingress port. It is used in 802.1Q filtering for
untagged packets. It is also often used as [Default Tag - VID] for egress tagging operation.
3.2 Converter Function
The device supports the following data conversions between fiber cable and twisted-pair Cat.5 (copper)
cable:
The data rate on twisted-pair segment depends on the link speed finally established with the link
partner.
23
Page 24
3.3 Link Fault Pass Through Function
When the Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT) function is enabled and the media converter detects a link
fault on one port segment, it will force the other port segment link down. It looks like that a link fault
is passed from one port to the other.
The following example illustrates a link fault occurs on the fiber cable (any one cable in a duplex fiber
connection). The link fault is forwarded to both copper link partners finally by LFPT operation of two
media converters.
Both Ethernet devices will also detect a link fault on each Cat.5 connection, although the real fault
occurs on the fiber connection exactly.
The following example illustrates a real link fault occurs on one Cat.5 and the link fault is passed to the
other Cat.5 over two converters and the fiber cable by LFPT operation. Finally, the other link partner
also detects a link fault.
Advantage
The function allows two remote link partners of the media converters detect the link fault finally no
matter where the exact fault occurs. It allows the upper application takes necessary action in case a real
link fault occurs in any cable segment.
Methods to enable the function
The LFPT function can be enabled by:
Hardware setting: DIP SW6 is set to ON position
Software setting: Web management ->
Configuration -> System -> [Link fault pass through]
24
Page 25
3.4 Remote TP Status Monitoring Function
The local media converter can monitor the TP port link status of its remote link partner connected on
the fiber cable. The status is displayed on the local LED indicators as follows:
Methods to enable the function
Hardware setting: DIP SW5 is set to ON position
Software setting: Web management ->
Configuration -> System -> [Remote TP auto report]
Remote TP Status Display
1. The status is displayed on local LEDs - TP1G, TP100, TP10 and TPFDX when LTP is OFF.
LED State Status
LTP OFF Remote TP status is valid on the following LEDs
TP1G ON Remote TP link in 1000Mbps
OFF Remote TP link down
TP100 ON Remote TP link in 100Mbps
OFF Remote TP link down
TP10 ON Remote TP link in 10Mbps
OFF Remote TP link down
TPFDX ON Remote TP link in full duplex
OFF Remote TP link in half duplex
802.1Q Control function allows perform 802.1Q VLAN related operation to the packets passing
through the media converter according packet contents as follows:
[Ingress Drop] setting
The setting is the first filtering mechanism to filter incoming packets based on frame types. The
options are:
Disable - disable port ingress drop and admit all packet types
Drop Untag - drop all untagged frames
Drop C-tag - drop frame with outer tag TPID 0x8100
Drop S-tag - drop frame with outer tag TPID 0x88A8
Drop All taggged - drop frames with outer tag TPID 0x8100 or 0x88A8
802.1Q VID Filtering
802.1Q VID Filtering function allows to admit or reject certain VID tagged packets. Up to 16
“allowed” (positive list) or “rejected” (negative list) VIDs can be configured. This function allows
limit certain frames to pass from one link segment to another one. Disabling 802.1Q filtering function
also sets VLAN to “Port-based” mode. Enabling the function sets VLAN to “VLAN aware” mode.
[VID Table]
Disable - 802.1Q VID filtering is disabled.
Allowed VID - Only the frames with classified VIDs in VID table are admitted.
Rejected VID - The frames with classified VIDs in VID table are rejected and dropped.
Each ingress frame is classified via VLAN classification and gets one Classified Tag. The
Classification Tag is bundled to the frame in passing through VLAN operation until egress. Refer to
next section for more information.
[Tag Removal] setting
This setting is used to remove tags of the incoming frames if available. The options are:
Keep All tags - disable tag removal

4.4.1.1 Management VLAN
Incoming web access packets
Reply packets (Outgoing to the management host)
Untagged packets
None
Tagged packets
Packets tagged with configured management VLAN VID
Management VLAN settings allow administrator to access the device and perform the management
over a dedicated VLAN.
454BThe following rules are applied with the Management VLAN:
1. 455B456BIf [Management VLAN] setting is VID=0, no limitation is applied in accessing the web
management interface, but password authentication.
2. 457BIf [Management VLAN] setting is VID>0, the web (http) server only replies to the management
hosts through the tagged packets with the embedded VID same as the configured [Management
VLAN] setting.
3. The web (http) server can accept untagged or tagged management accessing packets. Reply to the
web access host based on the following rule:
4. The configured VID is always included in permitted VID list under “802.1Q VID Filtering”
function.

Port Description When checked the “port description” is included in LLDP information
transmitted.
System Name When checked the “system name” is included in LLDP information
transmitted.
System Description When checked the “system description” is included in LLDP information
transmitted.
System Capability When checked the “system capability” is included in LLDP information
transmitted.
Management Address When checked the “management address” is included in LLDP information
transmitted.
Parameters Description
Tx Interval The switch is periodically transmitting LLDP frames to its neighbors for
having the network discovery information up-to-date. The interval between
43
Page 44
each LLDP frame is determined by the Tx Interval value.
Valid values: 5 – 32768 seconds
Tx Hold Each LLDP frame contains information about how long the information in
the LLDP frame shall be considered valid. The LLDP information valid
period is set to Tx Hold multiplied by Tx Interval seconds.
Valid values: 2 – 10 times
Tx Delay If some configuration is changed (e.g. the IP address) a new LLDP frame is
transmitted, but the time between the LLDP frames will always be at least
the value of Tx Delay seconds. Tx Delay cannot be larger than 1/4 of the Tx
Interval value. Valid values: 1 – 8192 seconds
Reinit Delay When a port is disabled, LLDP is disabled or the switch is rebooted a LLDP
shutdown frame is transmitted to the neighboring units, signaling that the
LLDP information isn’t valid anymore. Reinit Delay controls the amount of
seconds between the shutdown frame and a new LLDP initialization.
Valid values: 1 – 10 seconds
Port Configuration Description
Port Local port number (Port #1: TP port, Port #2: FX port)
LLDP State Set port LLDP mode:
Disabled:
The device will not send out LLDP information, and will drop
LLDP information received from neighbors. BPDU and LLDP packets will
be filtered and dropped.
Tx and Rx:
The device will send out LLDP information, and will analyze
LLDP information received from neighbors.
Tx only:
The switch will drop LLDP information received from neighbors,
but will send out LLDP information.
Rx only:
The switch will not send out LLDP information, but LLDP
information from neighbor units is analyzed.

4.5.2 LLDP Statistics
Counters Description
Port The port on which LLDP frames are received or transmitted.
(Port #1: TP port, Port #2: FX port)
Tx Frames The number of LLDP frames transmitted on the port.
Rx Frames The number of LLDP frames received on the port.
Rx Error Frames The number of received LLDP frames containing error.
Discarde Frames If an LLDP frame is received on a port, and the device's internal table has run
full, the LLDP frame is counted and discarded. This situation is known as
"Too Many Neighbours" in the LLDP standard. LLDP frames require a new
entry in the table when the Chassis ID or Remote Port ID is not already
contained within the table. Entries are removed from the table when a given
port's link is down, an LLDP shutdown frame is received, or when the entry
ages out.
TLVs discarded Each LLDP frame can contain multiple pieces of information, known as
TLVs (TLV is short for "Type Length Value"). If a TLV is malformed, it is
counted and discarded.
TLVs unrecognized The number of well-formed TLVs, but with an unknown type value.
Org. TLVs discarded The number of organizationally received TLVs.
Ageouts Each LLDP frame contains information about how long time the LLDP
information is valid (age-out time). If no new LLDP frame is received within
the age out time, the LLDP information is removed, and the Ageout counter
is incremented.
