Installation
The module comes equipped with a bank of DIP switches and
jumpers for setting configuration. The default dip switch settings
(all switches UP) and default jumper settings will work for most
installations. For information on the management options of the
CM-1110 module, refer to the MCR-MGT Module User’s Guide.
The following steps are used to configure the Perle 10/100/1000
Ethernet Media Converter Module:
1. Insert SFP Module. (SFP Models only)
2. Set the Auto-MDIX jumper setting. (optional).
3. Set the Auto-Config jumper. (CM-1110 only) (optional)
4. Set the DIP switch settings (optional).
5. Insert the Media Converter Module into the chassis.
6. Connect the copper cable.
7. Connect the fiber cable.
Auto-MDIX Jumper
Note: The factory settings for Auto-MDIX will work for most
installations, but if a settings change is needed, follow the
procedure below.
The AUTO-MDIX jumper (J6) is located on the upper edge, at the
midpoint of the module (see diagram below for labelling). By
covering or strapping pins 2 and 3(AUTO), the C-1110 and CM-
1110 will automatically detect the Ethernet cable’s polarity and
configure itself as either an MDI or an MDIX device. By covering or
strapping pins 1 and 2(MDIX), the C-1110 and CM-1110 will
operate as an MDIX device
Removing the strapping is the same as AUTO.
Note: The default jumper setting is AUTO
4
Perle 10/100/1000 Media Converter Module – Installation Guide
Auto-Config Jumper (CM-1110 only)
The Auto-Config jumper (J5) is located just above the Auto-MDIX
jumper (see above). Refer to the diagram below for labelling. This
jumper only applies to CM-1110 modules.
Strapping pins 1 and 2 of the jumper will set the module in SW
mode and strapping pins 2 and 3 will set it in Auto Config mode.
Auto: When set to Auto the module will, at power-up, check its
internal flash memory to see if configuration information has been
downloaded to it from a management module. If so, it will use this
as its running configuration. If there is no configuration in flash it
will read the settings of the DIP switches and use those as its
running configuration.
SW: When set to SW (Switch), the module will, at power-up, read
the settings of the DIP Switches and use those as its running
configuration. It will ignore any configuration information in its flash
memory.
Note: The default jumper setting is Auto

Auto Negotiation copper (Switch 1)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default)
Down
Auto
Off
Note: Auto negotiation should only be turned off, if the copper link
partner does not support Auto Negotiation and fixed settings are
required by the copper link partner.
Auto: When enabled, the Media Converter Module will negotiate
with its link partner to determine the most optimal parameters for
this connection. The C-1110 and CM-1110 will advertise
capabilities of 10,100 and 1000 Mbps, full and half duplex as well
as pause, and remote fault capabilities to the link partner.
If the copper link partner does not support Auto negotiation, the C-
1110 and CM-1110 will parallel detect to 10 or 100 Mbps and force
Half Duplex mode as per IEEE specifications.
Off: When the Auto Negotiation switch is set to the OFF position,
the Media Converter Module will not negotiate the Ethernet
parameters with the copper link partner. The parameters used by
the Media Converter Module will be determined by the Duplex
(switch 4) and Speed (switch 5) DIP switch settings.
Link Mode (Switch 2)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default)
Down
Smart Link Pass-Through Mode
Standard Mode
Smart Link Pass-Through: In this mode, the link state on one
connection is directly reflected through the Media Converter
Module to the other connection. If link is lost on one of the
connections, then the other link will be brought down by the Media
Converter Module.
With Media Converters on both ends of the fiber link and both
setup for Link Pass-Through, a loss of copper link on the far end
device will propagate through both Converters and will result in a
6
Perle 10/100/1000 Media Converter Module – Installation Guide
loss of copper link at the near end device. This would, in effect,
resemble a direct copper connection.
Standard Mode: In this mode, 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 or copper port can occur without
affecting the other connection.
Fiber Fault Alert (Switch 3)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default)
Down
Enabled
Disabled
Enabled: If the Media Converter Module detects a loss of signal
on the fiber receiver, it will immediately disable its fiber transmitter
signal. This, in effect, notifies the fiber link partner that an error
condition exists on the fiber connection.
If the remote Media Converter is set up for Fiber Fault Alert (FFA)
and the local Media Converter is set up with Link Pass-Through, 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 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 down.
Note: This feature only takes effect if Fiber Negotiation has been
turned off.
Disabled: The Media Converter Module will not monitor for or
generate Fiber Fault Alert.

Other Features
Auto-MDIX
Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependent interface crossover)
detects the signalling on the 10/100/1000BASE-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 Module brings down a link to convey status,
there is potential for a deadlock. Recovery is achieved by
momentarily restoring the link to see if the original failure has been
resolved. If it has not, the link will be forced down again, however
if the original problem has been resolved, the link will be restored.
Pause (IEEE 802.3xy)
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. The Perle Media
Converter Module can generate and respond to Pause messages.

Troubleshooting
General
•
Ensure that the Media Converter Module is securely seated in
the chassis.
•
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 Converter.
•
•
Ensure all cabling is of the correct type and is in good working
order.
For duplex fiber connections, ensure the RX and TX has been
reversed between the two Media Converters.
No connectivity
If unable to get full connectivity with all DIP switches in the UP
position these methods are recommended for troubleshooting.
Method 1
1. If the Module is a CM-1110, set the Auto-Config jumper (J5) to
SW so that DIP switches are being read.
2. Set the Link mode to Standard (SW2 – Down) on both Media
Converters. Leave all other switches in the Up position.
3. 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.
Repeat for the far end Media Converter.
4. Connect the fiber cable to both Media Converters. The LKF
LED indicates good fiber connection. If no LKF LED then
check the fiber cabling.
5. Return converters to their desired configuration.
Method 2:
Configure the remote Media Converter for loopback mode. The
LKF LEDs on both Media Converters Modules should be lit. Data
should pass through the local converter, over the fiber connection
to the remote Media Converter. At the remote Media Converter,
the data will be looped back and passed through the fiber, back to
the local Media Converter Module and passed to the copper link.
