SMI-110 Managed Fast Ethernet Media Converter Features
QOS ( Quality of Service ) |
|
VLAN Tagging |
|
Unknown Multicast Frame filtering | When enabled, Multicast frames with an unknown destination address are not allowed to egress the port |
Unknown Unicast Frame filtering | When enabled, Unicast frames with an unknown destination address are not allowed to egress the port |
Unidirectional Ethernet | When enabled, provides the ability to restrict port to one-way traffic flow. Used in applications such as unidirectional video broadcasting as well as providing security for ethernet connections in accessible public areas |
Configuration Mode selection | Select whether to use the on-board DIP switches or the management software for mode selection |
Auto-MDIX | Can manually set Auto or MDIX on the copper port via on-board strap or via the management software. Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling on the UTP interface to determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and automatically configures the connection when enabled. With Auto-MDIX enabled, either a straight-through or crossover type cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the other end of the cable. |

DIP switch settings | View hardware DIP switch settings |
Selectable Max Packet Size | Set max packet size to 1522, 1518 or 2048 ( default ) |
10BaseT Extended Distance | Normal/extended – default Normal. By configuring as “extended”, the 10baseT receiver sensitivity is increased providing the possibility of a 10BaseT connection greater than 100m. |
Port Control | Enable or disable individual fiber or copper port on the converter |

|
Detailed port statistics | To assist in troubleshooting copper and fiber links, an extensive list of ingress and egress counters for both copper and fiber ports are available. These statistics can be viewed locally via the management module or from a central SNMP NMS on the network |
Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) | The media converter supports auto negotiation on the 10/100Base-TX interface. |
Link Pass-Through | With Link Pass-Through the state of the UTP receiver is passed to the fiber transmitter to make the media converter appear transparent to the end devices that are connected. In addition if Far-End Fault is enabled the media converter can turn off the 10/100Base-TX transmitter when a FAR-End Fault is received. Using Link Pass-Through with Far-End Fault minimizes data loss when a fault occurs. Should a fault occur, the end devices have the indication of a failure available to them making trouble shooting easier. |
Far-End Fault (FEF) | The media converter implements the 802.3 standard for Far-End Fault for the indication and detection of remote fault conditions on the 100Base-X fiber connection. With Far-End Fault enabled the media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication over the 100Base-X fiber connection whenever a receive failure is detected on the 100Base-X fiber connection. The media converter continuously monitors the100Base-X fiber connection for a valid signal.
The action the media converter takes on receiving a Far-End Fault Indication is dependent on the Link Pass-Through switch setting. |
Pause (IEEE 802.3xy) | Pause signaling is an IEEE feature that temporarily suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. The media converter supports pause negotiation on the 10/100Base-TX copper connection. |
Remote Loopback | The media converter is capable of performing a loopback on the fiber port. |

Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) |
Enabled (Default) – The media converter uses 802.3u Auto-negotiation on the 100Base-TX interface. It is set to advertise full duplex.
Disabled – The media converter sets the port according to the position of the speed and duplex switches. |
Link Pass Through |
Enabled (Default) – When the state of the receiver is changed on the 100Base-TX interface it is reflected on the 100Base-FX fiber transmitter. When the state of the receiver on the 100Base-FX interface is changed it is reflected on the 100Base-TX transmitter.
When a Far-End Fault Indication is received on the fiber interface the 100Base-TX transmitter is turned off. When the Far-End Fault Indication is cleared the transmitter is turned back on. Disabled – The 100Base-TX and the 100Base-FX fiber interface operate independently. Far-End Fault indication on the 100Base-FX fiber interface has no effect on the 100Base-TX interface. |
Far-End Fault (FEF) |
Enabled (Default) – The media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication over the 100Base-X fiber connection whenever a receive failure is detected on the 100Base-X fiber connection. The media converter continuously monitors the100Base-X fiber connection and clears the Far-End Fault Indication condition when a valid signal is received.
Disabled – Far-End Fault Indications are not transmitted regardless of the condition of the receive signal on the 100Base-FX fiber connection. |
Remote Loopback | The media converter can perform a loopback on the 100Base-X fiber interface.
Disabled (Default – Up) Enabled – The 100Base-X receiver is looped to the 100Base-X transmitter. The 100Base-TX transmitter is taken off the interface. |
Auto-MDIX (Strap) | If Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) is enabled, the media converter uses the HP Auto-MDIX method for the 100Base-TX interface. If Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) is disabled the Media converter will use the RX Energy method on the 100Base-TX interface to set the port MDI or MDIX whichever is appropriate.
Enabled (Default) – Either a straight-through or crossover type cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the other end of the cable. Disabled – If the partner device on the other end of the cable does not have the Auto-MDIX feature a specific cable, either a straight-through or crossover will be required to ensure that the media converter’s transmitter and the partner devices transmitter are connected to the others receiver. The Media converter’s 100Base-TX port is configured as MDI-X with this switch setting. |

Managed Ethernet to Fiber Links |
---|
Manage your copper to fiber link with a Managed Standalone Media Converter. Ideal for use in managed networks with low density fiber applications. A Managed Standalone Media Converter is connected across a fiber link to a remote media converter. The copper and fiber link on the managed standalone unit can provide vital information and status to network management tools such as SNMP. ![]() |

Single Mode / Single Fiber |
Connect copper ports over a single fiber strand ( also referred to as “Bi-Directional” BiDi ) ![]() The majority of installations for single mode fiber media converters are of the “dual connector” or “dual fiber” type where one fiber connection is used for transmit, the other for receive. These are physically “crossed” to match up the Transmit/Receive links. However, to reduce costs, or where there are limits on available fiber, WDM technology may be utilized. WDM uses separate transmit and receive frequencies to communicate on a single fiber strand. WDM technology relies on the fact that optical fibers can carry many wavelengths of light simultaneously without interaction between each wavelength. Thus, a single fiber can carry many separate wavelength signals or channels simultaneously. So remember, if Single Strand fiber is used, you will need an “Up” Media Converter on one side and a “Down” Media Converter on the other for copper to fiber conversion. Perle offers a wide variety of Single Fiber (“Up/Down”) Media Converters to connect 10BaseT, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit to single fiber. Whether you need Managed or Unmanaged, Standalone or Modular Chassis Based, 20km or 120km, Perle has the right model to meet your fiber conversion requirement. |
