Troubleshooting
General
Ensure power is supplied to the media converter – use of
the Perle supplied power adapter is highly recommended.
Ensure that the SFP+ or XFP modules are of the same
speed and are operating properly.
Ensure both devices on either end of each fiber are
compatible.
For fiber connections, ensure the RX and TX have been
reversed between the two media converters.
No connectivity
If unable to get full connectivity with all DIP switches in the UP
position, this procedure is recommended for troubleshooting.
1. Built In Link Test: Set Switch 2 to the Up position.
2. Set Switch 3 to the Up position to test port 1 or Switch 3 to the
Down position to test Port 2.
3. Loopback: If the remote media converter is a Perle S-10G,
then the Local Perle S-10G media converter will signal the
Remote media converter to go into loopback mode. (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 User’s Guide that came with that media converter).
4. Test Data will be sent from the local S-10G to the Remote
media converter.
5. If the PWR LED on the Local S-10G turns red or blinks red on
a repeated basis, the fiber connection may require further
testing.
6. If the PWR LED on the Local S-10G stays green after several
seconds of testing, then the link is passing the Built In Link
Test. Proceed to testing the other link.
