Set the loop-back switch
Hardware mode:
The loop-back switch is located on the front panel of the media converter and is
used for installation and network debugging procedures.
To set the switch, use a small flat-blade screwdriver or a
similar device (see the drawing to the right).
CL (Copper loop-back) Enable loop-back on the local copper interface.
-- (Center Position) Normal operation.
FL (Fiber loop-back) Enable loop-back on the local fiber interface.
Software mode:
If both media converters are under software control, the network administrator can
initiate the loop-back test function on the copper interface (local or remote) or on
the fiber interface (local or remote). These four loop-back test scenarios are
described in detail on page 14.
Set the configuration switches
The configuration switches are located on the side of the media converter and are
used to configure the media converter for various network conditions.
The switches are labeled 1 through 8 on the media converter housing top. There are
two sets (a “left, SW 2” and a “right, SW 1”) each with four switches labeled 1
through 4 (see the drawing below).
Use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or a similar device to set the recessed switches.
Transmit all ones (switches 1 & 2, left set, SW 2)
The Transmit All Ones function allows the insertion of an “all ones” pattern on the
copper and/or fiber interface when the signal detect is lost, creating an alarm
condition at the device connected to the interface.
