Overview This document contains instructions necessary for the installation and operation of the Perle Standalone PoE/PoE+ 10/100/1000 rate converting Media Converters (S-1110P). These products have the ability to convert 10/100/1000Base-T cable connections (copper) to 100/1000Base-X connections (fiber). The Perle media converters function as a PoE switch, and support a variety of port configurations, including single or dual UTP and fiber ports.
Note 1. S-1110PP-SFP-XT Note 1 Note 1: Fiber characteristics will depend on the SFP fiber module selected. Please visit Perle’s website for the most up to date Installation guides models and specifications. http://www.perle.com/ Perle PoE/PoE+ Ethernet Media Converter Installation Guide...
Installation The default DIP switch settings (all switches in the UP position) will work for most installations. These are the steps required to configure the Perle S-1110P Ethernet media converter: 1. Insert SFP Module (SFP Model only). 2. Set the Auto-MDIX jumper setting (optional).

The data link will be disabled; however power to the powered devices will be maintained. This mode will override all other switch settings. Note: On media converters with two fiber ports, both ports can be in loopback mode at the same time. Perle PoE/PoE+ Ethernet Media Converter Installation Guide...

Installing the Copper Cable 1. Locate 10/100/1000Base-T compliant copper cables with the appropriate connectors. 2. Connect the RJ-45 cable between the Perle media converter and the device. Note: The Perle media converter supports Auto-MDIX which allows connection of a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cable.

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 with data. The Perle media converter can generate and respond to Pause messages. If Auto negotiation is set to On, the media converter will advertise symmetrical and asymmetrical pause.
Troubleshooting General 1. Ensure power is supplied to the media converter. Only the Perle provided power supply may be used. 2. 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.
