Perle Gigabit Media Converter Module Installation Guide C-1000-XXXXX CM-1000-XXXXX C-1000-SFP CM-1000-SFP Unmanaged Module Managed Module Unmanaged Module Managed Module P/N 5500305-20
Overview 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).

Installation This module comes equipped with a bank of DIP switches and jumpers for setting configuration The default switch settings (all switches in the UP position) will work for most installations. See the Operations section of this guide for more details. The following steps are used to configure the Perle Gigabit Media Converter Module: 1. Insert SFP Module (SFP Models only ) 2. Set the Auto-Config jumper (CM-1000 only) (optional) 3. Set the DIP switch settings (optional). 4.
DIP Switches DIP Switch Settings Fiber Negotiation (Switch 1) Switch Position Mode Up (default) Auto Down Off Auto: In this mode of operation the Media Converter will negotiate Ethernet parameters on both the copper and the fiber connection. This will ensure the most optimal connection parameters will be in effect. If connecting to another Perle Gigabit Media Converter, this parameter should be set to Auto.
Link Mode (Switch 2) Switch Position Mode Up (default) Standard Mode Down Smart Link Pass-Through Mode Standard Mode: In this mode (if Fiber Negotiation is set to OFF), 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 link or copper link can take place without affecting the other connection.
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 PassThrough 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 down.
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. The resultant negotiation will provide the most optimum connection. Half: The Media Converter Module will force the negotiation to Half Duplex mode.
setting on the Media Converter Module should match the capabilities of the far end device. 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. Enabled: This is a test mode. All data received on the receive (RX) fiber connection is looped back to the transmit (TX) fiber connection.
Installing or Replacing Media Converter Modules Caution: Observe electrostatic discharge precautions when installing the Media Converter Module(s) into the Chassis. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to the Module(s) and/or chassis. The Perle Media Converter Modules can be installed in any available slot and in any order within the chassis. Installing or Replacing a Media Converter Module 1. Remove the Module from its packaging. 2.
6. Tighten the captive retainer screw to ensure the Media Converter Module is locked in place. 7. Remove the dust cap from the fiber connector and connect the fiber and copper cables. Removing Media Convert Modules 1. Loosen the captive retainer screw on the front of the Media Converter Module and gently pull the module out. 2. If not inserting a replacement Media Converter Module then cover the opening slot with a face plate and secure the screw.
Installing the Copper Cable • Locate a 1000Base-X compliant simplex (1 strand) fiber cable with appropriate connectors. • Connect the fiber cable from one Converter to the other Converter/switch/fiber device. Installing the Copper Cable • Locate 1000Base-TX compliant copper cables with male, RJ45 connectors installed at both ends. • Connect the RJ-45 cable between the Perle Media Converter Module and the device.
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. Blinking quickly: the module has a hardware error. LKF - Fiber Link/Activity • • • • On: Fiber link present. Blinking quickly: Fiber link present and receiving data. Blinking slowly: Fiber link disabled due to loss of copper link.
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.
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. • Ensure all cabling is of the correct type and is in good operating condition. • For dual-stranded fiber connections, ensure the RX and TX has been reversed between the two Media Converters.
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. Note: If troubleshooting a CM-1000, setting the Auto-Config jumper (J6) to SW will ensure the DIP switches are being read.
