Module Temperature Protection

Loopback Test

This mode is not used in conjunction with BILT.

1.If either media converter module is not a Perle 10GT module then you need to set loopback mode on one of the media converter modules. (See the User’s Guide that came with that media converter module).

2.Use an alternative way to generate data to the unit set in loopback mode. Data received on the receiver (RX) will be looped back to the transmitter (TX) connection. Use a third party application to analyse the received data.

All C/CM-10GT modules come equipped with module temperature protection. Should an inserted SFP+ or XFP module operate above its specified maximum operating temperature, the C/CM- 10GT will reduce the power to that module. The C/CM-10GT will continue to monitor the modules’ temperature until the temperature is below the maximum operating temperature and then the C/CM-10GT will return the module to normal operating mode.
