•
Initiate test mode on the local device (SW1 Down).
•
If the PWR LED turns red or blinks red on a repeated basis,
the fiber connection may require further testing.
•
If the PWR LED stays green after several seconds of testing,
then the link is passing the Built In Link Test. Proceed to
testing the other link.
Module Temperature Protection
All C/CM-10G modules come equipped with module temperature
protection. Should an inserted SFP+ or XFP module operate
above its specified maximum operating temperature, the C/CM-
10G will reduce the power to that module/s. The C/CM-10G will
continue to monitor t
he modules’ temperature until the
temperature is below the maximum operating temperature and
then the C/CM-10G will return the module/s to normal operating
mode.
Loopback Auto Detect
Perle C/CM-10G media converter modules have the ability to
automatically put remote supported Perle media converter/
modules into loopback mode. This allows the remote Perle media
converter/module to be located in distant or inaccessible locations.
The remote Perle media converter/module will remain in loopback
mode as long as the tests are in progress.
Note:
Depending on the manufacturer some copper cabling may
not support our Loopback Auto Detect feature, however Loopback
Mode can always be obtained by setting switch 2 to the down
position on your Perle Media converter module.
