SMI-4GPT-DSFP Fiber Mode Converter

PerleSFP to SFP protocol and rate-transparent managed media convertersenable network administrators to incorporate multiple fiber types and wavelengths in, or between, networks throughfiber to fiber mode conversion. Using this technology will result in significant cost savings when compared to replacing an optical blade on network equipment. Easily extend a LAN inenvironments where network security is criticalby converting:

SMI-4GPT Managed Media Converterssupport allauthentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) securityservices used in corporate networks, including TACACS+, RADIUS, LDAP, Kerberos, NIS and RSA. To further protect ID’s and passwords from someone ‘snooping’ on the network, Perle Managed Media Converters providesecure management sessionsby supportingSSH, SNMPv3, Telnet and HTTPS. These types of features are used when managing your corporate firewalls, switches and routers. This is why Perle makes them available in theSMI-4GPT Managed Media Converter. SFP to SFP Media Converters are also available forunmanaged applications.

TheSMI-4GPT Fiber Mode Convertercomes with two empty SFP slots. This allows for flexible network configurations usingSFP fiber transceivers supplied by Perle,Ciscoor other manufacturers of MSA compliant SFPs. Adapting to different fiber types, distances and wavelengths is made simple bymixing and matching SFP’s as neededfor maximum flexibility across a variety of topologies and network architectures. The hot-swappable nature of SFPs allow for easy configuration and future upgrades as network demands evolve by simply upgrading a single SFP instead of replacing the entire fiber mode converter.

Media Converter Module Indicators
Power This green LED is turned on when power is applied to the media converter. This LED is off when there is no power supplied. A Blinking LED will indicate that a hardware error has been detected.
LK1 LED is ON when a signal is detected on LK1. LED is OFF when there is no signal.
LK2 LED is ON when a signal is detected on LK2. LED is OFF when there is no signal.
Switches (on-board media converter module)
Link Mode Smart Link Pass-Through when enabled (Default) ensures that the link state on a fiber connection is directly reflected through the media converter to the other connection. If link is lost on one of the connections, then the other link will be brought down by the media converter. This feature applies when both SFP slots are occupied. If set in Standard Mode, the link is kept active. The unit will transmit a 25Mhz keep-alive signal to artificially keep the link up.
Fiber Fault Alert If the media converter module detects a loss of fiber, it will immediately notify the fiber link partner that an error condition exists. Disabled (Default). The Media Converter will not monitor for fiber fault.
Multi-speed SFP When enabled, identifies that the SFPs inserted are MSA complaint SFPs that have a multi-rate capability. When disable (Default), no action is performed in this context.
Rate Select This enables rate selection when using dual-rate capable SFPs. If the “Multi-Speed SFP” select switch is in the “Disabled” position, this switch is ignored. High Speed - UP (default) Low Speed – DOWN
2 x SFP Slots
SFPs SFP line rates up to 4.25Gbps are supported. The SFPs occupying each slot in the media converter must be operating at the same speed. SFP power level 1 and 2 are supported.
Management Module Indicators / reset
