Overview
This document contains instructions necessary for the installation
and operation of the Perle Gigabit Fiber to Fiber Media Converter
Module(s) that are used in conjunction with a Perle MCR chassis.
The C-1000MM media converters are unmanaged modules, and
the CM-1000MM are the managed converter modules. These
products allow dissimilar 1000Base-X fiber interfaces to connect to
one another. For information on the management options of the
CM-1000MM module, refer to the MCR-MGT Module User’s
Guide.
These are the fiber to fiber conversion models:
•Multimode to Multimode (MM)
•Multimode to Single Mode (SM)
•Multimode to Single Mode Single Strand (MM)
The first fiber port will be multimode (MM) and the second fiber
port can be either single mode (SM) or multimode (MM) depending
on the model selected. They can operate over different
wavelengths and distances. (See tables below).

Gigabit Fiber to Fiber Media Converter Module – Installation Guide 4
Installation
The default switch settings (all switches in the UP position) will
work for most installations. See the Operation section of this guide
for more details.
The module comes equipped with a bank of DIP switches and
jumpers for setting configuration
The default DIP switch settings (all switches in the UP position)
and jumper setting will work for most installations.
The following steps are used to configure the Perle Gigabit Fiber
to Fiber Media Converter Module:
1. Set the Auto-Config jumper. (CM-1000MM only) (optional)
2. Set the DIP switch settings (optional).
3. Insert the Media Converter Module into the chassis.
4. Connect the fiber cables.
Auto-Config Jumper (CM-1000MM only)
The Auto-Config jumper is J5.
Refer to the diagram below for labelling.
Auto (Pin 2 and Pin 3 are strapped): 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: (Pin 1 and Pin 2 are strapped): When set to SW (Switch),
the module will, at power-up, read the settings of the DIP Switches
and use those as it running configuration. It will ignore any
configuration information in its flash memory.
NOTE: The default jumper setting is Auto

IP 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
fiber parameters on both MM1 and MM2/SM2 (fiber ports). This
will ensure the most optimal connection parameters will be in
effect. If connecting to another Perle media converter, this
parameter should be set to Auto.
Off: Fiber negotiation on both fiber ports will be disabled. Fiber
Negotiation should only be turned off, if the fiber link partner does
not support fiber link negotiations.

Gigabit Fiber to Fiber Media Converter Module – Installation Guide 6
Link Mode (Switch 2)
Switch Position
Mode
Up (default) Smart Link Pass-Through Mode
Down Standard Mode
Smart Link Pass-Through: 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.
Standard Mode: In this mode the links can be brought up and
down independently of each other. A loss of link on either fiber
connection can occur without affecting the other connection.
Fiber Fault Alert (Switch 3)
Switch Position
Mode
Up (default) Enabled
Down Disabled
Enabled: If the media converter module detects a loss of fiber
signal on the fiber receiver, the media module will immediately
disable its fiber transmitter signal on this port. This, in effect,
notifies the fiber link partner that an error condition exists on the
fiber connection.
If the remote media converter module is set up for Fiber Fault
Alert(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 other fiber connection.
Disabled: The media converter module will not monitor for fiber
fault.
Note: This feature is not required; if Fiber negotiation has been
enabled since link negotiation accomplishes the same thing. When
Fiber Negotiation is enabled this switch is ignored.

Installing 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.
1. Remove the Module from its packaging.
2. Using a cross-head screwdriver, remove the screw holding the
face plate to the Chassis to reveal the slot opening.
3. Set the jumpers and DIP switches on the Media Converter
Module to the desired operating mode.(optional)
4. Locate the top and bottom alignment guides inside the MCR
Chassis.
5. Using the module alignment guides gently slide the module
into the slot until it becomes flush with the front of the Chassis.
Light pressure may be needed to seat the module. Do not
force the module as you might cause damage. If there is
resistance, remove the module and check the module
connector for damaged or incorrectly aligned pins. If these are
not damaged, retry module insertion.
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.

Gigabit Fiber to Fiber Media Converter Module – Installation Guide 12
Troubleshooting
General
•Ensure the module is securely seated in the chassis. The
PWR LED on the module should be on solid.
•Ensure all cabling is of the correct type and is in good
operating condition.
•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.
•For dual-stranded 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. Turn off Fiber Negotiation (SW1 Down) on both media
converters. Leave all other switches UP.
2. Connect the near end device to port MM1, the LK1 LED
should be lit to indicate a good fiber connections. If the LK1
LED is not lit, then check the fiber cable and the attached
device.
3. Repeat step 2 for port MM2/SM2.
4. Return the media converter to the desired configuration.
Method 2:
The fiber connection can also be verified by configuring the remote
media converter for loopback mode. The LEDs on both media
converters should be lit. Data should pass through the local
converter then over the fiber connection to the remote media
converter.
Note: If troubleshooting a CM-1000MM, setting the Auto-Config
jumper (J5) to SW will ensure the DIP switches are being read.
