Overview

This document contains instructions necessary for the installation
and operation of the Perle Standalone 10/100/1000 rate
converting Media Converters (S-1110). These products convert a
10/100/1000Base-T cable connection (copper) to a 1000Base-X
connection (fiber). The fiber connection can be either single mode
(SM) or multimode (MM) and can operate over different
wavelengths and distances depending on the model selected (see
table below). Perle Media Converters (S-1110) are also available
in Extended Temperature models with a Terminal Block connector.

Perle 10/100/1000 Ethernet Media Converter

DIP Switches

The DIP switches are accessible through the opening in the side
of the enclosure.

Note: All switch changes take effect immediately and will result in
a link reset on both ports.

DIP Switch Settings

Auto Negotiation copper (Switch 1)

Switch Position Mode
Up (default) Auto
Down Off

Note 1: Auto negotiation should only be turned off, if the copper
link partner does not support Auto Negotiation and fixed settings
are required by the copper link partner.

Auto: When enabled, the media converter will negotiate with its
link partner to determine the most optimal parameters for this
connection. The S-1110 will advertise capabilities of 10,100 and
1000 Mbps, full and half duplex as well as pause, and remote fault
capabilities to the link partner.

If the copper link partner does not support Auto negotiation, the S­1110 will parallel detect to 10 or 100 Mbps and force Half Duplex
mode as per IEEE specifications.

Off: When the Auto Negotiation switch is set to the OFF position,
the media converter will not negotiate the Ethernet parameters
with the copper link partner. The parameters used by the media

converter will be determined by the Duplex (switch 4) and Speed
(switch 5) DIP switch settings.

Link Mode (Switch 2)

Switch Position Mode

Up (default) Smart Link Pass-Through Mode
Down Standard Mode

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 by the media converter.

If the installation has a media converter on both ends of the fiber
link and both are set-up for Smart Link Pass-Through, then 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.

Standard Mode: In this mode, 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 or copper port can occur without
affecting the other connection.

Fiber Fault Alert (Switch 3)

Switch Position Mode
Up (default) Enabled
Down Disabled

Enabled: If the media converter detects a loss of signal on the
fiber receiver, it will immediately disable its fiber transmitter signal.
This, in effect, 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)
and the local media converter is set up with Link Pass-Through, 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 has been set to Smart Link Pass-Through
mode, the effect will be the same as FFA, since the link loss on

Perle 10/100/1000 Ethernet Media Converter

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.

Disabled: The media converter will not monitor for or generate
Fiber Fault Alert.

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 – Standard.

(B) – Local Media Converter setup for Fiber Fault Alert Enabled, Smart
Link Pass-Through On and Fiber Negotiation - OFF

1 – (A) Loses fiber connection on its receiver.
2 – (A) Sends FFA.
3 – (B) Detects FFA signal and shuts down the fiber link.
4 – (B) Drops link on copper connection because Smart Link Pass-

Through is configured.
5 – (A) Link on copper connection is not affected because Smart Link

Mode is set to Standard.

Duplex copper (Switch 4)

Switch Position Mode
Up (default) Full
Down Half

Note: When Auto Negotiation (SW1) is set to Off, the media
converter will use this Duplex setting for its copper connection.

Full: In the Up switch position; the media converter will be set to
Full Duplex mode.

Half: The media converter will be set to Half Duplex mode.

Speed copper (Switch 5)

Switch Position Mode
Up (default) 100
Down 10

Note When Auto Negotiation (SW1) is set to Off, the media
converter will use this switch setting for its Ethernet copper speed
connection.

100: When Switch 5 is in the Up position, the S-1110 will force the
speed to 100 Mbps.

10: When switch 5 is in the Down position the media converter will
force the speed to 10 Mbps.

mode on its fiber link.

Loopback (Switch 7)

Switch Position Mode
Up (default) Disabled
Down Enabled

Disabled: The loopback feature is disabled. This is default
position for normal operation. The switch must be set to this
position in order for data to pass through the media converter.

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 link is not relevant since no
data is passed through to the copper side. This mode will override
all other switch settings.

Installing the SFP Fiber Module

The S-1110-SFP model requires an SFP fiber module. Locate
appropriate fiber module and insert the SFP into the opening on
the front of the media converter.

1. Ensure the SFP module is properly seated.

2. The SFP module may be inserted before or after applying
power to the media converter

3. Proceed with cable connections.

SGMII interface. This feature is enabled on the S-1110-SFP
model through the hardware strapping listed below.

• To set SGMII Interface support on SFP port one, strap pins 1
and 3 on jumper J3 (see diagram below).

• To set SGMII Interface support on SFP port two, strap pins 4
and 6 on jumper J3 (see diagram below).

*

SFP’s with SGMII Interface are supported on certain S-1110-SFP
models. The last 5 digits of the serial number on these models
must begin with the number 17 or greater.

Installing the Duplex Fiber Cable

Locate a 1000Base-X compliant duplex (2 strands) fiber cable with
appropriate connectors.

Connect the fiber cables from one media converter to the other
media converter/switch/fiber device ensuring that the RX and TX
are reversed (crossed) at the opposite end.

Other Features

Auto-MDIX

Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependent interface crossover)
detects the signalling on the 10/100/1000BASE-T interface to
determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or
crossover) and automatically configures the connection.

Error Recovery

In certain configurations, and under specific conditions where the
media converter 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.

Pause (IEEE 802.3xy)

Integrated Pause signalling is an IEEE feature that temporarily
suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that
one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. The Perle media
converter can generate and respond to Pause messages.

14

Perle 10/100/1000 Ethernet Media Converter

Troubleshooting

General

• Ensure power is supplied to the media converter – use of the

supplied power adapters is highly recommended.

• Ensure the remote device’s fiber connection type is

compatible with the media converter. If using a simplex fiber
connection, ensure that you have both an Upstream (U) and
Downstream (D) media converter.

• Ensure all cabling is of the correct type and is in good working

order.

• For duplex 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, this procedure is recommended for troubleshooting.

Method 1

1. Set the Link mode to Standard (SW2 – Down) on both media

converters. Leave all other switches in the Up position.

2. 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.

3. 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. Ensure the transmitter and receiver
pairs are crossed.

5. Return units to 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 media
converters should be lit. Data should pass through the local
converter, over the fiber connection to the remote media
converter. At the remote media converter, the data will be looped
back and passed through the fiber, back to the local converter and
passed to the copper link.
