Perle 10/100 Ethernet Media Converters Installation Guide S-110-XXXXXX S-110-XXXXXX-XT P/N 5500302-16
Overview This document contains instructions necessary for the installation and operation of the Perle 10/100 Ethernet Standalone Media Converters (S-110). These products convert a 10/100Base-T cable connection (copper) to a 100Base-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).
Installation The default dip switch settings (all switches in the UP position) will work for most installations. There are five steps required to configure the Perle Fast Ethernet media converter: 1) Set the Auto-MDIX jumper setting (optional). 2) Set the dip switch settings (optional). 3) Install and connect the fiber cable. 4) Install and connect the copper cable. 5) Power up the 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 (Switch 1) Switch Position Mode Up (default) Auto own Off NOTE: Auto negotiation should only be turned off, if the copper link partner does not support Auto Negotiation or fixed settings are required by the copper link partner.
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.
passed through to the local copper connection thus notifying the connected device. If the media converter has been set to Link Pass-Through mode, the effect will be the same as FEF, 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: To generate or detect the FEF signal switch 3 needs to be enabled. Disabled: The media converter will not monitor for or generate Far End Fault.
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.
Duplex (fiber) (Switch 6) Switch Position Mode Up (default) Full Down Half Full: The media converter’s fiber link will be set to Full Duplex Mode. Half: The media converter’s fiber will be set to Half Duplex Mode. 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.
Installing the Duplex Fiber Cable • Locate a 100Base-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. Installing the Simplex Fiber Cable • Locate a 10/100Base-X compliant simplex (1 strand) fiber cable with appropriate connectors.
Powering up the Perle Media Converter • Connect the Perle supplied power adapter to the media converter. • • Connect the power adapter to a power source. Check that the PWR LED light is lit. Extended Temperature models supplied with a Terminal Block 10 • • • Ensure the Power Source is off prior to connection. • • • Turn on power source. th Strip both wires 5mm (3/16 inch) Loosen the terminal block screws and connect Positive (+) wire to the left terminal.
Operation Status LED The Perle 10/100 Ethernet Media converters have six single color status LEDs located on the front panel of the unit. PWR 100 FDF FDC LKF LKC PWR On – Power is applied to the unit. Blinking (slow) – The unit is in Loopback mode. Blinking (fast) – The unit has a hardware failure. FDF (fiber) On – Full Duplex Mode. Off – Half Duplex Mode. LKF (fiber ) On – The fiber link is present Off – No fiber link is present. Blinking (fast) – The fiber link is present and receiving data.
Other Features Auto-MDIX: Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signalling on the 10/100BASE-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.
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.
