eX-SM1110 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Extender Features

Perle’s advanced features such as Link Pass-Through, Interlink Fault Feedback, and Loopback allow Network administrators to “see everything” for more efficient troubleshooting and less on-site maintenance. These cost and time saving features, along with a lifetime warranty and free worldwide technical support, make Perle eX-SM1110 Managed Ethernet Extenders the smart choice for IT professionals.

Extend Ethernet over twisted pair	Extend an Ethernet link over category 5e, 6, and 7 cabling up to 10,000 feet (3 km).
Extend Ethernet over Coaxial cable	Extend an Ethernet link over 75 ohm coaxial cable.
High-Speed Performance	Utilizes second generation VDSL2 technology (ITU-T Recommendation G.993). When operating under “Profile 30a”, Perle Ethernet extenders can provide an aggregate VDSL line rate capability of over 200 mbps. Actual distance and performance may vary depending on the type / gauge and condition of the wire used.
Plug and Play operation	Perle Ethernet Extenders will automatically configure your VDSL interlink connection. The CO/CPE peer association will be determined automatically by the Ethernet Extender. No need to set CO / CPE VDSL pairing. Once a connection is made, both ends will automatically adjust relevant VDSL parameters to optimize the level of bandwidth possible across the copper link.
Link Pass-Through	With Link Pass-Through the state of the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet connection is “passed through” the VDSL link to the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet connection on its remote peer. A managed switch on the remote end can then report the state (link up or link down) to its network management system so that any errors can be detected and recovered early. Competitive Ethernet extenders without this feature will never detect or report any error conditions.
Interlink Fault Feedback	Similar to the Link Pass-Through feature, a loss of VDSL Interlink will drop the 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports on each end until the link recovers.
Auto-Negotiation	The Ethernet Extender supports auto negotiation on the 10/100/1000Base-T interface.
Auto-MDIX	Auto-MDIX (Automatic Medium-Dependent Interface crossover) detects the signaling on the 10/100/1000 Ethernet RJ45 interface and determines the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and automatically adopts a compatible pinout.
Fixed Speed and Duplex	Some Ethernet equipment require a fixed speed and duplex be used or cannot auto-negotiate. By disabling Auto-Negotiation on the Ethernet Extender, a fixed speed of 10, 100 or 1000 mbps as well as Full or half Duplex can be configured through DIP switches.
VLAN	Transparent to tagged VLAN (802.1Q) packets.
Transparent to IP Video compression protocols	Fully transparent to such IP video compression schemes such as MPEG-4, H.264 and MJPEG.
VDSL Configuration	Enable/Disable port Set Port Name – Up to 8 characters Set Role : Auto (Default) ,Local (CO), Remote (CPE) Set Rate/Reach : High-Speed (default) , Long-Range Set Symmetry : Asymmetric, Symmetric (default) Set Low Bandwidth Alarm – SNMP trap Select VDSL profile Select Signal to Noise Ratio Select upstream/downstream data rate
Quality of Service	Bandwidth Allocation via rate limiting IEEE 802.1P tagged frame priority control IEEE 802.1P priority tag remapping IP TOS (Type of Service) priority for IPV4 Diffserv or IPV6 traffic class frames Congestion Service Policy through WQF (Weighted Fair Queuing) or Strict Priority Queuing (default)
VLAN Tagging	Default – Transparent to VLAN frames Enable discarding of tagged frames Enable discarding of untagged frames Untag – Removes any existing tag Insert Tag – Insert (if original frame is untagged) or replace (if original frame is tagged) the VLAN ID and priority with the configured default VLAN ID and priority tag. Insert Double tag (Q in Q) – Append an additional tag using the configured default VLAN ID and priority.
Unknown Multicast Frame filtering	When enabled, Multicast frames with an unknown destination address are not allowed to egress the port.
Unknown Unicast Frame filtering	When enabled, Unicast frames with an unknown destination address are not allowed to egress the port.
Unidirectional Ethernet	When enabled, provides the ability to restrict port to one-way traffic flow. Used in applications such as unidirectional video broadcasting as well as providing security for Ethernet connections in accessible public areas.
Configuration Mode selection	Select whether to use the on-board DIP switches or the management software for mode selection.
Auto-MDIX	Can manually set Auto or MDIX on the copper port via on-board strap or via the management software. Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependent interface crossover) detects the signaling on the UTP interface to determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and automatically configures the connection when enabled. With Auto-MDIX enabled, either a straight-through or crossover type cable can be used to connect the Ethernet Extender to the device on the other end of the cable.
Converter Information	User configurable Ethernet Extender name User configurable VDSL-Interlink port name User configurable copper port name Hardware revision number Firmware version number
DIP switch settings	View hardware DIP switch settings.
10BaseT Extended Distance	Normal/extended – default Normal. By configuring as “extended”, the 10baseT receiver sensitivity is increased providing the possibility of a 10BaseT connection greater than 100m.
Copper Port Status	Port Enabled (Yes/No) Link Status (Up/Down) Auto Negotiation Settings (Disabled, Complete or In Progress) Resolved as crossover MDI or MDIX type
VDSL Port Status	Port Name Connector Type Link State Idle Handshake Training Up Loopback status Remote Loopback (loopback status of VDSL peer) Role : Local (CO) , Remote (CPE) Current VDSL Profile
Control	Reset Reset to factory default Reset Statistical counters Update firmware Loopback mode. (On/Off) Upload/download configuration
Detailed port statistics	To assist in troubleshooting links, an extensive list of ingress and egress counters for both copper and VDSL ports are available. These statistics can be viewed locally via the management module or from a central SNMP NMS on the network.
Pause (IEEE 802.3xy)	Pause signaling is an IEEE feature that temporarily suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. The Ethernet Extender supports pause negotiation on the 10/100Base-TX copper connection.
Remote Loopback	The Ethernet Extender is capable of performing a loopback on the copper VDSL Interlink port.

Signal to Noise Ratio

Selectable Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of 6dB or 9dB. The higher SNR number provides better impulse noise protection but lowers performance.

Auto-Negotiation (802.3u)

Enabled (Default) - The Ethernet Extender uses 802.3u Auto-negotiation on the 10/100/1000Base-T interface. It is set to advertise full duplex.

Disabled - The Ethernet Extender sets the port according to the position of the speed and duplex switches.

Link Mode

Standard (Default) – The 10/100/1000Base-T link remains active independent of the state of the Ethernet link on its remote peer.

Link Pass-Through- the state of the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet connection is “passed through” or propagated across the VDSL link to the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet link on its remote Ethernet Extender peer. This enables a managed switch to report the state of the remote device to its network management system.

Interlink Fault Feedback

Enabled - A loss of VDSL link will drop the 10/100 Ethernet port on each end until the link recovers

Disabled (Default) – The state of the VDSL link is not propagated to the 10/100/1000Base-T port

Loopback

Enabled - The VDSL interlink will perform a loopback function, retransmitting all received Ethernet frames back to its peer.
