Indicators |
Power ( PWR ) |
This green LED is turned on when power is applied to the media converter. Otherwise it is off. The LED will blink slowly when either fiber port is in Loopback test mode. The LED will blink quickly if there is a hardware failure where the reason code can be identified through a combination of FDF,LKF, FDC and PSE indicator LEDs |
Fiber link on / Receive activity ( LKF 1/2 ) |
This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED will blink along with transmit/receive data on the fiber port
If a loss of link on the copper port results in a Link Passthrough condition to the fiber port, this LED will blink at a rate of once every 2 seconds until the condition is cleared.
|
Copper link on / Receive activity ( LKC 1/2 ) |
This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED will blink along with transmit/receive data on the 10/100/1000 UTP port
If a loss of link on the copper port results in a Link Passthrough condition to the fiber port, this LED will blink at a rate of once every 2 seconds until the condition is cleared.
|
Fiber Duplex ( FDF 1/2 ) |
This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the 10/100/1000Base-X link is operational in full duplex mode. The LED is off when in half duplex. If the Auto-Neg switch is turned off, this LED will always be on |
Copper Duplex ( FDC 1/2 ) |
This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the 10/100/1000Base-T link is operational in full duplex mode. The LED is off when in half duplex |
100/1000 |
This multi-color LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is green when the speed of the copper ethernet port is running at 1000 Mbps. The LED is yellow when the speed of the copper Ethernet port is running at 100 Mbps. The LED is off when in 10 Mbps. |
PSE Status ( PSE 1/2 ) |
This LED will signify the status of the PSE function. Using multi-color and blinking the unit will show the following status for the PSE;
GREEN — Solid: The PSE has successfully detected a compliant PD and is applying power over the UTP (for legacy pin out simply show active power when applied)
YELLOW — Solid: The PSE is not active. This means the PSE has been configured to provide power, but the PD is :
- Not connected
- Has not detected a compliant PD and is not applying power
- PSE has turned off power for Reset function
OFF — PSE function switch disabled
RED — Blinking: Error Conditions
- Capacitance too High — 1 blink
- Resistance too Low or short circuit — 2 blinks
- Resistance too high or open circuit — 3 blinks
|
Switches - accessible through a side opening in the chassis |
Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) |
Enabled (Default) - The media converter uses 802.3u Auto-negotiation on the 10/100/1000Base-T interface. It is set to advertise full duplex, half duplex, pause and remote fault capabilities.
Disabled - The media converter sets the port according to the position of the speed and duplex switches.
|
Link Mode |
Link Mode provides a transparency to the state of the copper link allowing for simplified trouble shooting from the devices connected to the media converter.
Normal (Default — Up) With Fiber Auto Negotiation enabled when the copper link goes down the 1000Base-X link is brought down. The 1000Base-X link will advertise Remote Fault (Link Fault).
With Fiber Auto Negotiation disabled the state of the copper link has no effect on the 1000Base-X link.
Smart Link Pass Through (Down) With Fiber Auto Negotiation enabled the behavior is as follows. When the copper link goes down the 1000Base-X link is brought down. The 1000Base-X link will advertise Remote Fault (Link Fault). When Remote Fault (Link Fault) is received on the 1000Base-X interface the copper transmitter will be turned off. When the copper receiver is off the 1000Base-X transmitter will be turned off. When the 1000Base-X receiver goes off the copper transmitter will be turned off.
With Fiber Auto-Negotiation disabled the behavior is as follows. When the copper receiver is off the 1000Base-X transmitter will be turned off. When the 1000Base-X receiver goes off the copper transmitter will be turned off.
Effect on 3 and 4 port units: pass-through conditions will be recognized when the state of both copper UTP or fiber port pairs are the same. IE only if both copper ports go down will the fiber port on a 3 port unit be forced inactive.
|
Fiber Fault Alert |
The Fiber Fault Alert switch has meaning when Auto-Negotiation is disabled
Enabled (Default - Up) When the 1000Base-X receiver is off the 1000Base-X transmitter is turned off. Periodically the 1000Base-X receiver will be turned on for a short period to allow the condition to clear if the 1000Base-X link partner is using a similar feature.
Disabled (Down)
|
Loopback ( 1/2 ) |
The media converter can perform a loopback on the 1000Base-X fiber interface.
Disabled (Default - Up)
Enabled - The 1000Base-X receiver is looped to the 1000Base-X transmitter. The copper transmitter is taken off the interface.
- A loopack switch for each fiber connection
- On dual fiber units, if one or both ports have loopback enable, all copper ports are disabled, but PoE power is maintained. The other fiber port is unaffected.
|
Speed Copper |
100 (Default) 10 |
Duplex Copper |
Full (Default) Half |
Fiber Negotiation |
Up: The Media Converter will negotiate Ethernet parameters on the fiber connection. This will ensure that the most optimal connection parameters will be in effect. If connecting to another Perle Media Converter, this parameter should be set to Auto. The Media Converter Module will advertise 1000Mbps, Full and Half Duplex, no Pause.
Down: The Media Converter Module’s fiber will be fixed to 1000Mbps, Full Duplex.
|
Auto-MDIX (Internal Strap) |
If Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) is enabled, the media converter determines the current cable pinout to use on the copper interface. If Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) is disabled the Media converter will use the RX Energy method on the copper interface to set the port MDI or MDIX whichever is appropriate.
Enabled (Default) - Either a straight-through or crossover type cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the other end of the cable.
Disabled - If the partner device on the other end of the cable does not have the Auto-MDIX feature a specific cable, either a straight-through or crossover will be required to ensure that the media converter's transmitter and the partner devices transmitter are connected to the others receiver. The Media converter's 100Base-TX port is configured as MDI-X with this switch setting.
|
PSE Power |
Settable for each UTP port available.
When enabled (UP), the media converter will perform a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) function as per IEEE802.3af or 802.3at standards (relevant model).
Default is "enabled"
|
PD Power Reset |
This is a technique to perform a power reset on a PD device(s) attached.
When enabled ( down ), the media converter will upon loss of link on any fiber port, turn off PSE output power to the PD device(s) for 2 seconds then turn the power back on. The power remains on until any fiber link transitions from up to down again.
With Passthrough enabled ( Link Mode enabled and Fiber Auto-Negotiation enabled ) , a loss of link on the fiber resulting from a loss of link on the copper, a PD Power Reset till still occur.
When PD Power Reset disabled, loss of fiber link has no effect on PSE power to the PD device(s).
|
Fiber Redundancy ( Dual Fiber Models ) |
When disabled (default), the ports will operate as a 3 or 4 port switch When enabled (Down) the media converter treats Fiber 1 as the primary. If the link fails, the fiber link is switched over to fiber 2 within 50ms.
- While the primary is active, the link on port 2 will be maintained, but the port will not pass data
A redundancy switch-over will not occur if the fiber link was brought down as a result of link pass-through from a copper port.
|
Redundant Primary ( Dual Fiber Models ) |
If the "Fiber Redundancy" feature is also enabled, the primary fiber 1 link is continuously monitored and if is restored for at least 6 seconds, the link will be switched back from the secondary fiber 2 port to the primary fiber 1 port |
