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 Cx-10G modules come equipped with module temperature
protection. Should an inserted SFP+ or XFP module operate
above its specified maximum operating temperature, the Cx-10G
will reduce the power to that module/s. The Cx-10G will continue
to monitor the modules’ temperature until the temperature is below
the maximum operating temperature and then the Cx-10G will
return the module/s to normal operating mode.
Loopback Auto Detect
Perle Cx-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.
