Fiber Gigabit Media Converter
10/100/1000Base-T to 100/1000Base-FX
With IEEE802.3af/at 30W PoE Injector
PF211GA

Production Descriptions
PF211GA is a 10/100/1000Base-T to 100/1000Base-FX GbE media converter,
which allows one Ethernet UTP RJ-45 port to be inter-changeably connected to one
Fiber SFP port. In addition, the RJ-45 port is compliant with IEEE802.3at/af
standards to provide up to 30Watt Power over Ethernet (PoE). This AC powered
PoE media converter is a Power Sourcing Equipment Plus (PSE+: Means PoE High
Power Output Device) which combines data over a UTP link with 56VDC power,
providing power to IEEE802.3at/af powered device (PD) over the existing CAT5
UTP cable.
The PF211GA converter includes a PD signature sensing and power monitoring
features. The PoE features over-current protection (OCP), over-voltage protection
(OVP), and over-temperature protection (OTP). With the Link Fault Pass-through
(LFP) function, the PF211GA can monitor both the fiber and copper RX ports for
loss of signal. In case of a loss of RX signal on one media port, the converter will
automatically disable the TX signal to the other media port, thus passing through
the link fault. It then sends out the far end fault (FEF) signal to stop sending link
pulse to the link partner once a loss of the fiber RX signal is encountered. Then the
link partner will synchronously stop sending data. FEF prevents loss of valuable
data transmitted over invalid link. Combining the LFP and FEF troubleshooting
features of PF211GA, both end devices can be notified of a loss of fiber link.
PF211GA supports both switch mode and converter mode for user applications.
In switch mode, it utilizes the “store & forward” architecture to handle packet
transfer. It begins to forward a packet to a destination port after the entire packet is
received. A received packet will be forwarded to the destination port only if it is error
free. Otherwise, it will be discarded. In converter mode, the PF211GA directly
forward packet to the destination port without checking CRC for lowest latency
requirement. When the speeds of the RJ45 and the SFP ports are not the same,
the converter mode will automatically switch to the switch mode “store and forward”
scheme to handle packets.

Quick Guide
Step 1: PF211GA Connections
A. Connect PF211GA RJ45 PoE LAN port to the Powered Device (PD), e.g. PTZ IP
CAM using a Category 5e LAN cable as the above connections.
B. Connect the AC Power Cord to the PF211GA Power socket (back panel).
C. Connect the Fiber cable to the PF211GA SFP Fiber port with an SFP Plug.
Step 2: PF211GA Dip Switch Settings
D. For Gigabit Fiber connection, set “ON” the Dip Switch 2 to select 1000Baxe-FX.
E. For the LFP function, set “ON” the Dip Switch 3 to enable the LFP function.
Step 3: Power ON and Run
F. Turn ON the AC Power. The LEDs PWR, SFP, DATA, PoE should be lit on.
G. The PF211GA will provide PoE up to 30W to the IP CAM at Gigabit fiber
connection.
