Overview
This document contains instructions necessary for the installation
and operation of the Perle Standalone PoE/PoE+ 10/100 rate
converting Media Converters (S-110P). These products have the
ability to convert 10/100Base-T cable connections (copper) to
100Base-X connection (fiber). The Perle media converters
function as a PoE switch, and support a variety of port
configurations. These media converters function as Power
Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and can power up one Powered
Device (PD) using standard UTP cables that carry Ethernet data.
The S-110P models are compatible with Powered Devices that
comply with the IEEE 802.3af standard and the S-110PP models
are compatible with Powered Devices that comply with both the
IEEE 802.3af and the 802at-2009 standards. The fiber connection
can be either single mode (SM) or multimode (MM) and can
operate over different wavelengths and distances, depending on
the model selected (see table below).

Switch Position Copper Port
Up (default) Auto
Down 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 will negotiate with its
link partner to determine the most optimal parameters for this
connection. The S-110P will advertise capabilities of 10 and 100
Mbps, full and half duplex as well as pause to the link partner.
If the copper link partner does not support Auto-negotiation, the S-
110P 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 will not negotiate the Ethernet parameters

with the copper link partner. The parameters used by the media
converter will be determined by the Copper Speed (Bank 2 -
switch 1) and Duplex Copper (Bank 2 - switch 2) DIP switch
settings. Pause receive and send will be disabled.
Link Pass-Through Mode (Switch 2)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default) Link Pass-Through Mode
Down Standard Mode
Link Pass-Through Mode: 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.
If the installation has a media converter on both ends of the fiber
link and both are set-up for Link Pass-Through, then a loss of
copper link on the far end device will propagate through both
media converters and will result in a loss of link at the near end
device.
Standard Mode: In this mode, 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.
Link Pass-Through Behaviour
(A) – Remote Media Converter setup for Far End Fault Enabled,
Auto-negotiation – OFF and Link Mode – Standard.
(B) – Local Media Converter setup for Far End Fault enabled, Link
Pass-Through On and Auto-negotiation - OFF
1. (A) Loses fiber connection on its receiver.
2. (A) Sends FEF.
3. (B) Detects FEF signal and shuts down the fiber link.

4. (B) Drops link on copper connection because Link Pass-
Through is configured.
5. (A) Link on copper connection is not affected because Link
Pass-Through Mode is set to Standard.
Far End Fault (Switch 3)
Switch Position Fiber Port
Up (default) Enabled
Down Disabled
Enabled: If the media converter detects a loss of signal on the
fiber receiver, it will immediately disable its fiber transmitter signal
on the same port. 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 Far End Fault(FEF) 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 Link Pass-Through mode,
the effect will be the same as FEF, 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 affect if Auto-negotiation (Switch 1)
has been turned Off.
Disabled: The media converter will not monitor for or generate Far
End Fault.

Down Down PSE disabled
These switches must be set in order to enable the power sourcing
function and to indicate the type of device detection required. If the
device type is unknown, the default should be used as per
IEEE802.3af/at standards.
Enabled: When enabled, the media converter will perform Power
Sourcing Equipment (PSE) functions as per IEEE802.3af (POE) or
802.3at-2009 (POE+) standards.
Disabled: When disabled the media converter will not perform
PSE functions.
PD Power Reset (Switch 6)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default) Disabled
Down Enabled
Disabled: When disabled, the loss of fiber link has no effect on
PSE power to the PD device.
Enabled: When enabled, if the media converter detects loss of link
on the fiber port it will turn off PSE output power to the PD device
connected to the copper port. After 2 seconds, the media
converter will restore power to the PD and the power will remain
on until the fiber link transitions from a link up to link down state.
Loopback Fiber (Switch 7)
Switch Position Mode
Up (default) Disabled
Down Enabled
Disabled: The loopback feature is disabled. This is default
position for normal operation. The switch must be set to this
position in order 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 data link will be disabled; however power to the

Other Features
Auto-MDIX
Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependent interface crossover)
detects the signalling on the 10/100BASE-T interface to determine
the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and
automatically configures the connection.
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 with data. The Perle
media converter can generate and respond to Pause messages. If
Auto negotiation is set to On, the media converter will advertise
symmetrical and asymmetrical pause. If Auto negotiation is set to
Off, the Pause receive and send will be disabled.

Troubleshooting
General
•Ensure power is supplied to the media converter. Only the
Perle provided power supply may be used.
•Ensure the remote device’s fiber connection type is
compatible with the media converter. 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, this procedure is recommended for troubleshooting.
Method 1
1. Set the Link Pass-Through mode to Standard on both media
converters. Leave all other switches in the Up position.
2. Connect the copper device to the copper port on the media
converter. The LKC LED light indicates good copper
connection. If the LKC LED is not lit, then check the copper
cable and the attached device.
3. 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. Ensure the transmitter and receiver
pairs are crossed.
5. Return units to desired configuration.
Method 2:
The fiber connection can also be verified by configuring the remote
media converter for loopback mode. The LKF LEDs on both media
converters 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

Perle PoE/PoE+ 10/100 Ethernet Media Converter
Installation Guide
18
back and passed through the fiber, back to the local converter and
passed to the copper link.
No Power to the PD
•Ensure that the PD is compatible with the S-110P. If the PD is
a POE+ device then a POE+ media converter must be used
(S-110PP)
•Ensure that the power supply being used is the one provided
with the product
•If the PD does not support Alternative A (including Legacy
PD’s), the Power Option Jumpers must be set accordingly.
Also ensure the correct pin out for the device.
•For proper detection of different classes of devices, the dip
switches must be set correctly.
