Perle C/CM 10GRT-SFP Media Converter Module Installation Guide 2
Overview
This document contains instructions necessary for
the installation and operation of the Perle C/CM-
10GRT Media Converter. The Perle Media
Converter chassis contains one pluggable
transceiver port that permits insertion of a
SFP/SFP+(1G/10G) and one integrated rate
converting RJ-45 (copper port (10/100/1G/2.5G/10G
port. The Perle Media Converter can use either
Perle Systems or third party MSA compatible
modules. See the Technical Specifications section in
this guide for supported modules.
The C model media converters are the unmanaged
modules and the CM models are the managed
media converters. For information on the
management options of the CM models refer to
the Perle MCR-MGT User’s Guide that came with
your Perle Management Module. All combination
of modules within the chassis cannot exceed the
chassis power input consumption. The full power
consumption for Perle Media Converter chassis can

Installation
The default switch setting (all switches in the UP
position) will work for most installations. (Refer to
the Auto-Config Jumper section for CM models).
These are the steps required to configure the Perle
C/CM-10GRT module.
1. Set the DIP switch settings. (optional)
2. Install the module into the chassis.
3. Insert the appropriate SFP/SFP+ into the transceiver port.
4. Connect the fiber cable.
5. Connect the RJ-45 (copper cable).
DIP Switches.

DIP Switch Settings
The DIP switches are located on the module.
Link Mode (Switch 1)
Switch Position
Mode
Up (default)
Smart Link Pass-through
Down
Standard
Smart Link Pass-through: In this mode, the link
state on one port connection is directly reflected
through the media converter to the other port
connection. If link is lost on one of the connections,
then the other link will be brought down by the
media converter.
Standard: In this mode, the links can be brought up
and down independently of each other. A loss of
link on either connection can occur without
affecting the other fiber connection.
Fiber Fault Alert (Switch 2)
Switch Position
Mode
Up (default)
Enabled
Down
Disabled
Enabled: If the media converter module detects a
loss of signal on the fiber port, the media converter
module notifies the link partner on that same port
that an error condition exists by bringing down the
link.

Disabled: The media converter module will not
monitor for fiber fault.

AUTO-Config Jumper
(CM model only)
The Auto-Config jumper is located on the outer
edge, at the midpoint of the module. Jumper the
top and middle pin to select Auto mode. Jumper
the middle and bottom pin to select SW 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
configuration 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

SGMII Interface Hardware
Support (C Model only)
Both the C/CM models support a SGMII module on
the SFP interface for SFPs that require 1000 Mbps
SGMII.
For the Managed CM-10GRT-SFP the configuration
must be set within the software. Refer to the Perle
MCR-MGT User’s Guide that came with your Perle
Management Module.
The unmanaged model the C-10GRT-SFP supports
the SGMII via the jumper setup as shown below.
The SGMII jumper is located on the outer edge, at
the midpoint of the card (P3). Jumper Pins 1 and 2
to select SGMII for port 1.

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 Media
Converter 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 media converter 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.
4. Locate the top and bottom alignment guides inside the
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
some damage. If there is resistance, remove the module,
check the module connector for damaged or incorrectly
aligned pins, if there is no damage, retry to insert the
module.
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 Converter Modules
1. Loosen the captive retainer screw on the front of the
media converter module and gently pull the media
converter module out.
2. If not inserting a replacement, cover the opening slot
with a face plate and secure the screw.
Installing the SFP/SFP+ Fiber Module
1. Locate appropriate fiber module and insert into opening.
2. Ensure the SFP/SFP+ module is properly seated.
3. SFP module may be inserted before or after the media
converter module is inserted into the chassis.
4. Proceed with fiber cable connection.
Installing the Duplex Fiber Cable
1. Locate a 1000/10GBase-X compliant duplex (2 strands)
fiber cable with appropriate connectors.
2. Connect the fiber cables from the SFP/SFP+ to the other
media converter/switch/fiber device ensuring that the RX
and TX are reversed (crossed) at the opposite end.

Perle C/CM 10GRT-SFP Media Converter Module Installation Guide 17
Installing the Simplex Fiber Cable
1. Locate a 1000/10GBase-X compliant simplex (1-strand)
fiber cable with appropriate connectors.
2. Connect the fiber cable from the SFP/SFP+ to the other
media converter/switch/fiber device.
Installing the Copper Cable
1. Locate 10/100/1000/10GBase-T compliant copper cables
with male, RJ-45 connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 cable between the Perle
media converter module and the device.
Note: The Perle Media Converter Module supports
Auto-MDIX which allows a straight-through or
cross-over Ethernet cable.

Perle C/CM 10GRT-SFP Media Converter Module Installation Guide 18
Module Temperature Protection
All C/CM-10GRT modules come equipped with
module temperature protection. Should an
inserted SFP/SFP+ module operate above its
specified maximum operating temperature, the
C/CM-10GRT will reduce the power to that
module/s. The C/CM-10GRT will continue to
monitor the modules’ temperature until the
temperature is below the maximum operating
temperature and then the C/CM-10GRTwill return
the module/s to normal operating mode.
Loopback Mode
Perle C/CM-10GRT media converter modules can
be put into Loopback mode for diagnosis purposes.
A packet generator and analyzer must be used to
generator and capture the packets in this mode.
