DIP Switches

Perle S 10GRT-SFP Media Converter Installation Guide 5
DIP Switch Settings
The DIP switches are located on the side of the
unit.
Note: Switch changes made when the unit is
powered up take effect immediately and will result
in a link reset on both ports.
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 connection.
Fiber Fault Alert (Switch 2)
Switch Position
Mode
Up (default)
Enabled
Down
Disabled
Enabled: If the media converter detects a loss of
signal on the fiber port, the media converter
notifies the link partner on that same port that an
error condition exists by bringing down the link.

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

The Perle Standalone Media Converter supports
SGMII on the SFP interface for the SFPs that require
1000 Mbps SGMII.
1. Remove the top of the unit to access the
internal jumpers.
2. The SGMII jumper is located on the outer edge,
at the midpoint of the card (P3). Jumper Pin 1
and Pin 2.

Grounding the Chassis
If your installation requires additional grounding
follow this procedure.
Grounding the chassis requires the following items:
✓One grounding lug (not provided)
✓One 18-12 AWG wire (not provided)
Note: For your safety, when installing this
equipment, always ensure that the chassis ground
connection is installed first and disconnected last

Perle S 10GRT-SFP Media Converter Installation Guide 14
Attaching the Grounding Lug
1. Attach the grounding lug to one end of an 18-
12 AWG wire.
2. Attach the grounding lug to the chassis and
secure with the grounding screw(s).

Perle S 10GRT-SFP Media Converter Installation Guide 15
Attaching the Power Cord Strain
Relief Clip
1. Feed the power cord through the opening in
the power cord relief clip.
2. Attach the power cord relief clip to the chassis
and secure with the provided screw.
Installing the SFP Fiber Module
1. Locate appropriate fiber module and insert into
the opening.
2. Ensure the SFP/SFP+ module is properly seated.
3. Proceed with fiber cable connection.

Perle S 10GRT-SFP Media Converter Installation Guide 16
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 S 10GRT-SFP Media Converter 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, RJ45 connectors
installed at both ends.
2. Connect the RJ45 cable between the media
converter and the device.
Note: The Perle Media Converter supports Auto-
MDIX which allows a straight-through or cross-over
Ethernet cable.

Perle S 10GRT-SFP Media Converter Installation Guide 18
Temperature Protection
Every S-10GRT-SFP comes equipped with an
internal fan to provide cooling to the unit. The fan
will come on during power up and then turn off. It
will only come on when the temperature inside the
case becomes elevated. If the module is operating
above its specified maximum operating
temperature, the S-10GRT-SFP will reduce the
power to the module. The S-10GRT will continue to
monitor the operating temperature of the unit
until the temperature is below the maximum
operating temperature and then the S-10GRT-SFP
will return the module to normal operating.
Loopback Mode
Perle Standalone media converters can be put into
loopback mode for diagnosis purposes. A packet
generator and analyzer must be used to generate
and capture the packets in this mode.
