Perle 10/100/1000 Ethernet Extender Modules 13
Other Features
Auto-MDIX:
Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover)
detects the signalling on the 10/100/1000BASE-T interface to
determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or
crossover) and automatically configures the connection.
Packet Size:
The maximum frame size supported is 1522 bytes.
Auto Connect:
If both Perle Ethernet Extenders are configured for Auto Local
mode, a proprietary method of detection is implemented for each
attempt to synchronize the local and remote Perle Ethernet
Extender.
Troubleshooting
If unable to get full connectivity with all Dip switches in the UP
position, this procedure is recommended for troubleshooting.
Check Ethernet Connection
1. Ensure Link mode (SW9) and Interlink Fault Feedback
(SW10) are set to the UP position on both Ethernet
Extenders.
2. Connect the near end device to an Ethernet hub or device
The ETHERNET LED should be lit to indicate a good
connection. If the ETHERNET LED is not lit, then check the
Ethernet cable and the attached device for faults.
3. Repeat for the far end Ethernet Extender.
Check VDSL Connection
1. The VDSL connection can also be verified by configuring the
Ethernet Extender for Loopback Mode.
2. Set (SW 5) on one of the Ethernet Extender to the down
position (loop back mode). Data should pass through the
local Ethernet Extender over the VDSL link to the remote
Ethernet Extender. The ILNK LEDs should be flashing on
both Ethernet Extenders to indicate receive activity.
