Sequence of Events

Note: If the remote media converter is not a Perle S-10G then the remote media converter will need to be put into loopback mode. See the documentation that came with that media converter.

1.The Local S-10G sends the Remote S-10G a signal to go into loopback mode.

2.The Remote S-10G media converter turns on loopback mode.

3.Built In Test data is sent from the Local S-10G media converter to the Remote S-10G media converter.

4.The Remote S-10G media converter loops the received data back to the Local S-10G media converter.

5.Any test errors detected are displayed with the LEDs on the front of the Local S-10G media converter.

6.The Built in Link Tests continue to run until Switch 1 on the Local S-10G media converter is set to Data mode.

Port Selection (Switch 3 – Test Mode)

Switch Position	Port

Up (default)	1

Down	2

Fiber Fault Alert (Switch 3 – Data Mode)

Switch Position	Mode

Up (default)	Enabled

Down	Disabled

Enabled: If the media converter detects a loss of fiber, the media converter will immediately notify the fiber link partner that an error condition exists.

If the remote media converter is set up for Fiber Fault Alert (FFA) Enabled and the local media converter is set up with Smart Link Pass-Through, a loss of fiber link on either the transmit or receive line will be passed through to the other fiber connection.

Disabled: The media converter will not monitor for fiber fault.

Perle S- 10G Media Converter Installation Guide

S-10G-STS, S-10G-XTXH, S-10G-XTS, S-10G-XTX, S-10G-XTSH specifications

Perle Systems is renowned for its high-quality network connectivity solutions, and their line of S-10G fiber media converters reflects this commitment to excellence. The S-10G series includes several models: S-10G-XTXH, S-10G-XTX, S-10G-STS, S-10G-XTS, and S-10G-XTSH. Each model is designed with unique features to meet the demands of modern network infrastructures, providing robust performance for transitioning between copper and fiber networking environments.

One of the standout features of the S-10G series is their support for multi-rate SFP+ transceivers. This flexibility allows users to configure the devices to support various network applications and distances based on their specific needs. The S-10G-XTXH, for example, includes both extended temperature ratings and high-power output options, making it ideal for use in harsh environments where reliable performance is critical.

Another notable aspect of the S-10G series is the advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities. These converters support various protocols, ensuring seamless integration into existing network infrastructures. The models are designed for automatic MDI/MDI-X detection, which simplifies the setup process by eliminating the need for crossover cables.

The devices are equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, allowing for the transmission of power along with data through the same cable. This feature is particularly beneficial for powering remote devices such as IP cameras or wireless access points without the need for additional power supplies. The S-10G-XTSH, for instance, provides enhanced features such as an integrated failover relay, ensuring ongoing network connectivity even in the event of a power failure.

Security is also a priority with these converters. They come with robust data integrity verification methods including support for VLAN tagging and IEEE 802.1Q, ensuring that data remains secure as it transitions between different media types. Additionally, the S-10G series boasts high resiliency and reliability, with redundant power supply options, which is critical for mission-critical applications.

With a combination of high-speed performance, versatile connectivity options, and essential features tailored for modern network demands, Perle Systems' S-10G series converters are invaluable tools for enhancing network efficiency and resilience. Whether deployed in enterprises, data centers, or remote locations, these devices are engineered to provide seamless connectivity, making them a preferred choice for system integrators and network administrators alike.
