  • Page 2 This document contains instructions necessary for the installation and operation of the Perle Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter Module(s) that are used in conjunction with a Perle MCR chassis. The C-1000 are unmanaged media converter modules, and the CM-1000 are the managed versions. This product converts a 1000Base-TX cable connection (copper) to a 1000Base-X connection (fiber).

  • Page 7 Pass-Through enabled, 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 Module has been set to Smart Link Pass- Through mode, the effect will be the same as FFA, 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...
  • Page 8 Duplex (Switch 4) Switch Position Mode Up (default) Auto Down Half Auto: When Fiber Negotiation has been turned off (SW 1), the Media Converter Module will use this Duplex setting for its Ethernet parameter negotiation on the copper connection. In the Auto position, the Media Converter will advertise support for both Full and Half Duplex mode.

Loopback (Switch 6) Switch Position Mode Up (default) Disabled Down Enabled Disabled: The loopback feature is disabled. This is the normal position for regular operation. The switch must be set to this position in order for data to pass through the Media Converter Module.

    Installing the Copper Cable Locate 1000Base-TX compliant copper cables with male, RJ- 45 connectors installed at both ends. Connect the RJ-45 cable between the Perle Media Converter Module and the device. Note: Since the Media Converter Module supports Auto-MDIX, either a straight-through or cross over Ethernet cable may be used.

    Operation Status LED The Perle Gigabit Media Converter Modules have three single color status LEDs located on the face plate of the module. PWR - Power/Test On: Power is on, module is operating normally Blinking slowly: the module is in loopback mode.
  • Page 14: Other Features

    Other Features Default Operating Mode: In the default operating mode (all switches up), the Media Converter Module will auto-negotiate on both the fiber and the copper links at the same time, thus achieving the best end-to-end Ethernet operating parameters. If the fiber link is not present, it will still permit the copper link to be established, but will not negotiate a fiber link if the copper link is not present.
  • Page 15: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting General Ensure the module is securely seated in the chassis. The PWR LED on the module should be on solid. Ensure both devices on either end of the fiber are compatible. If using a simplex fiber connection, ensure that you have both an Upstream (U) and Downstream (D) Media Converters.
  • Page 16 Media Converters should be lit. Data should pass through the local converter, over the fiber connection to the remote converter. At the remote converter, the data will be looped back and passed through the fiber, once again, to pass through the local converter to the copper link.
