Installation
Install SFP Transceiver Modules
To install SFP transceiver modules into the SFMFF4040-100 converter:
1. Position the SFP transceiver module at either installation slot, with the
label facing up.
2. Carefully slide the module into the slot, aligning it with the internal
installation guides.
3. Ensure that the module is firmly seated against the internal mating
connector.
4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 to install a second module in the remaining slot.

*Typical maximum cable distance. Actual distance is dependent upon the physical
characteristics of the network.
NOTE: Third-party Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) compliant Small Form Factor
Pluggables (SFPs) can be used in the SFMFF4040-100.
With any two of Transition Networks SFP transceiver modules installed, the
SFMFF4040-100 converter can perform the following mode and wavelength line
conversions.
Mode conversions:
• multimode to multimode
• multimode to single mode
• single mode to single mode
Wavelength line conversions:
• 850 nm to 850 nm • 850 nm to 1310 nm • 850 nm to 1550 nm
• 1310 nm to 850 nm • 1310 nm to 1310 nm • 1310 nm to 1550 nm
• 1550 nm to 850 nm • 1550 nm to 1310 nm • 1550 nm to 1550 nm
• CWDM (coarse wavelength division multiplexing)
• DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing)

Power the SFMFF4040-100
AC:
1. Connect the barrel connector, on the power adapter, to the power port
on the converter (on the back of the converter).
2. Connect the power adapter plug to AC power.
3. Verify that the converter is powered by observing the illuminated LED
power indicator light.
DC:
Consult the user’s guide for the Transition Networks SPS1872-xx DC external
power supply for powering the converter.

Operation
Status LEDs
The SFMFF4040-100 optical line converter is designed to operate without user
intervention. Use the status LEDs to view the operation of the converter in the
network.
PWR (Power) On = Connection to external power.
LK1 (Fiber Link - Port 1) On = Fiber port 1 is receiving a signal.
LK2 (Fiber Link - Port 2) On = Fiber port 2 is receiving a signal.
LK1
PWR
LK2 Port 2Port 1
Link Pass-Through
The Link Pass-Through feature allows the media converter to monitor both
fiber RX (receive) ports for loss of signal. In the event of an RX signal loss (1),
the media converter will automatically disable the TX (transmit) signal (2),
thus, “passing through” the link loss (3). The far-end device is automatically
notified of the link loss (4), which prevents the loss of valuable data
unknowingly transmitted over an invalid link.

Troubleshooting
If the SFMFF4040-100 converter fails, isolate and correct the failure by
determining the answers to the following questions and taking the indicated
action:
1. Is the PWR (power) LED illuminated?
NO
• Ensure that the power adapter is the proper type of voltage and cycle
frequency for the outlet (See “Power Supply” on page 5.)
• Ensure the power adapter is properly installed in the converter and in
the grounded outlet.
• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312,
International: 00-1-952-941-7600.
YES
• Proceed to step 2.
2. Are both LK1 & LK2 LEDs (fiber link for ports 1 & 2) illuminated?
NO
• Ensure both SFP transceiver modules are properly inserted in the
converter.
• Check the fiber cables for proper connection.
• Verify that the TX and RX cables on the media converter are
connected to the RX and TX ports, respectively, on the other device.
• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312,
International: 00-1-952-941-7600.
YES
• Proceed to step 3.
3. Is the LK1 LED (fiber link 1) flashing?
NO
• If there is no network activity on port 1, proceed to step 4.
• If there is network activity on port 1, disconnect and reconnect the
fiber cables to restart the initialization process.
• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312,
International: 00-1-952-941-7600.
YES
• Proceed to step 4.
4 Is the LK2 LED (fiber link 2) flashing?
NO
• If there is no network activity on port 2, contact technical support.
• If there is network activity on port 2, disconnect and reconnect the
fiber cables to restart the initialization process.
• Contact Technical Support: US/Canada: 1-800-260-1312,
International: 00-1-952-941-7600.
