Installation
The module comes equipped with a bank of DIP switches and
jumpers for setting configuration.
The default dip switch settings (all switches in the UP position) and
default jumper settings will work for most installations.
The following steps are used to configure the Perle 10/100 Ethernet
Media Converter Module:
1. Set the Auto-MDIX jumper (optional).
2. Set the Auto-Config jumper (CM-110 only) (optional)
3. Set the DIP switch settings (optional).
4. Insert the Media Converter Module into the Chassis.
5. Connect the fiber cable.
6. Connect the copper cable.
Auto-MDIX Jumper
Note: The factory settings for Auto-MDIX will work for most
installations, but if there is a need to modify the settings, follow the
procedure below.
The AUTO-MDIX jumper (J5) is located on the upper edge, at the
midpoint of the module (see diagram below for labelling).. By
covering or strapping pins 2 and 3(AUTO), the C-110 and CM-110
will automatically detect the Ethernet cable’s polarity and
configure itself as either an MDI or an MDIX device. By covering
or strapping pins 1 and 2(MDIX), the C-110 and CM-110 will
operate as an MDIX device Removing the strapping is the same
as AUTO.
NOTE: The default jumper setting is AUTO
