Sr-1000-Sc160 Media Converter

Standard Mode (Default-Up): 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. However, if the Fiber Negotiation (switch 2) is set to Auto, then a loss of link on the copper side will result in a loss of link on the fiber side but not vice versa; Smart Link Pass-Through (Down): In this mode, the link state on one connection is directly reflected through the media converter 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.

Disabled (Default-Up): The loopback feature is disabled. This is the normal position for regular operation. The switch must be set to this position for data to pass through the media converter; Enabled: This is a test mode. All data received on the receive (RX) fiber connection is looped back to the transmit (TX) fiber connection. The state of the copper is not relevant and no data or link status is passed through to the copper side.

Auto (Deafault-Up): 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; Off: The fiber Negotiation should only be turned off, if the fiber link partner does not support fiber link negotiations

Enabled (Default-Up): In this mode, when Fiber Negotiation has been turned off, the media converter will use this setting for its Ethernet parameter negotiation on the copper connection. With this Pause switch in the Enabled position, the media converter will advertise support for Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Pause; Disabled: The media converter will not advertise support for the Pause feature.

Auto (Default-Up): In this mode, when Fiber Negotiation has been turned off, the media converter 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: In this mode, the media converter will force the negotiation to Half Duplex mode

Enabled (Default-Up): In this mode, when Fiber negotiation is turned on, if the media converter detects a loss of fiber signal on the fiber receiver it will immediately disable its fiber transmitter signal. This notifies the fiber link partner that an error condition exists on the fiber connection. If the remote media converter is set up for FFA Enabled and the local media converter is set up with Smart Link Pass-Through, a loss of fiber link on either the transmit or receive line will be passed through to the local copper connection to notify 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; Disabled: In this mode, the media converter will not monitor for fiber fault.
