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).

Powering Options Jumper Settings
Note: The factory settings for Power Sourcing Pinouts will
work for most installations as 802.3a and 802at-2009 (
POE/POE+) devices will detect and sync to the correct POE
option. However, in the rare case that you need to modify the
settings, the procedure is below.
In order to select a powering option, the Power Options
Jumper settings must be set. Each copper port has a set of
Power Option jumpers. To access the Powering Options
Jumper settings, unscrew the six side screws on the case
and remove the cover plate. Locate the Power Option
jumper set and strap the option pins as detailed below.

DIP Switch Settings
Bank 1
Auto-negotiation (copper) (Switch 1)
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) Standard Mode
Down Link Pass-Through Mode

Perle PoE/PoE+ 10/100 Ethernet Media Converter
8
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 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.
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
(A) Loses fiber connection on its receiver.
(A) Sends FEF.
(B) Detects FEF signal and shuts down the fiber link.
(B) Drops link on copper connection because Link Pass-
Through is configured.
(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

Perle PoE/PoE+ 10/100 Ethernet Media Converter

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 powered devices will be maintained.
This mode will override all other switch settings.

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
1. Ensure power is supplied to the media converter. Only
the Perle provided power supply may be used.
2. 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.
3. Ensure all cabling is of the correct type and is in good
working order.
4. 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.

Perle PoE/PoE+ 10/100 Ethernet Media Converter
20
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 back and passed through the fiber, back
to the local converter and passed to the copper link.
No Power to the PD
1. 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)
2. Ensure that the power supply being used is the one
provided with the product
3. 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.
4. For proper detection of different classes of devices, the
dip switches must be set correctly.
