Generic Application
Installation
Warning: Before installing the SGFEB, make sure that proper electrical grounding procedures have been
followed.
Configuration
SGFEB models include one of two DIP switch layouts; either a single DIP switch or two DIP switches
accessible through a cutout in the right side of the enclosure. Both DIP switch layouts are described in the
following sections.
• Some SFP versions (SGFEB1040-230 and SGFEB1040-330) have two DIP switches.
• Other SFP versions and the Fixed optic version (models SGFEB1040-130, SGFEB1013-130,
SGFEB1014-130, SGFEB1019-130, SGFEB1029-130, SGFEB1029-131, and SGFEB1039-130.)
have one DIP switch.
The DIP Switch settings for both layouts are described and illustrated in the following sections.
5, 6 SFP Port control: these DIP switch settings have no affect on fixed optics models.
5 6 Status
Up Up 1000Base-X
Up Down SGMII Mode
Down Up 100 Full Duplex
Down Down 100 Half Duplex
The SGFEB version with two SFP ports supports two modes, controlled via DIP switches (Multi-port
switch mode and Redundant fiber path mode).
Note: For multi-port switch mode and two twisted-pair port models, connecting two ports to a non-
spanning tree enabled switch is not recommended.

Power Connection
Use the supplied AC power adapter to power the SGFEB standalone converter. To connect power to the
SGFEB, do the following:
1. Connect the barrel connector on the power adapter cord to the power connector on the media
converter shown below.
3. Verify that the media converter has powered UP—the power LED on the front panel is lit.
SGFEB1013/14-130 SGFEB1040-130
SGFEB1040-230 SGFEB1040-330
Note: Port 1 and Port 2 always refer to Fiber port 1 and Copper port 1. Port 3 refers to a second Fiber
port, and Port 4 refers to a second RJ45 (copper) port.
Operation
Status LEDs
Use the status LEDs to monitor SGFEB operations.
Product Features
Auto-Negotiation
The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the SGFEB10xx to automatically configure itself to achieve the best
possible mode of operation over a link. The media converter broadcasts its speed (10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, or
1000 Mb/s) and duplex capabilities (full or half) to the other devices and negotiates the best mode of
operation. Auto-Negotiation allows quick and easy installation because the optimal link is established
automatically. No user intervention is required to determine the best mode of operation.
A scenario where the media converter is linked to a non-negotiating device is a case where the user may
want to disable Auto-Negotiation. In this instance, the mode of operation will drop to the least common
denominator between the two devices (e.g. 100 Mb/s, half-duplex). Disabling this feature gives the user
the ability to force the connection to the best mode of operation.
Note: The SGFEB10xx-13x supports 1000 Mbps fiber Auto-Negotiation.
The LPT firmware algorithm will detect both fiber and Cu RX link loss; the link transmitter is disabled to
propagate loss indication. Link Pass Through is a troubleshooting feature that allows the media converter
to monitor both the fiber and copper RX ports for loss of signal. In the event of a loss of RX signal on one
media port, the converter will automatically disable the TX signal of the other media port, thus "passing
through" the link loss.
Full-Duplex Network
In a full-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by the type of cables that are used.
See pages 3 and 4 for the cable specifications for the different SGFEB models. The 512-Bit Rule does
not apply in a full-duplex network.
AutoCross™
The AutoCross feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X) cables to be used when
connecting to devices such as hubs, transceivers, or network interface cards (NICs). AutoCross
determines the characteristics of the cable connection and automatically configures the unit to link up,
regardless of the cable configuration.
New Features
1. Jumbo 10K frame support
2. 8k MAC addresses (vs 1k)
3. EEE 802.3az
4. Multi-port mode default for multiple SFP assemblies.
Port Isolation
The SGFEB -230 and -330 support Port Isolation. This function uses Port Isolation (Port Based VLAN) to
disable the data paths between ports. This allows two customer-facing fiber ports and prevents each
customer from seeing the other’s traffic.
The Port Isolation (Port Based VLAN) feature creates a PVLAN (Private Virtual Local Area Network), but
it does not use 802.1Q tags. The current Port Based VLAN implementation only forwards traffic to ports in
a specific port’s VLAN Table. Tagged and untagged traffic will move through the SGFEB unmodified.
Port isolation setup varies between models as shown and described below.
The amount of delay experienced while waiting for the copper interfaces to wake up and come out of low
power idle mode is determined by the speed of the port:
Delay = ASSERT TIME + WAKE TIME
For 1000 Base, delay = 0 + 17us = 17us. For 100 Base, delay = 0 + 30us = 30us.
EEE Low Power Idle mode requires the copper port to advertise via the auto negotiation registers the
ability to support EEE for both 1000Base-T and 100Base-T. Both local and remote ports must indicate
they can support low power idle mode before the port can initiate a low power idle state.
During Auto –Negotiation the Port EEE capabilities are exchanged using the next page process to
establish the speed and duplex information. Timer information with regards to tx_idle, assert and wake
cycles are set in SGFEB registers by the CPU. When a port egress queue remains empty for a specific
period of time set by the EEE TX_IDLE Timer register, then a low power state can be entered. The
default setting for the TX_IDLE is 2 milliseconds.
After the TX_IDLE time the PHY will start the assert timer. The Assert timer will require the SGFEB to wait
until the assert timer is zero before a wake up request can be processed. Currently the default Assert
timer is set to 0, giving the PHY the ability to immediately start processing a request to leave the low
power idle state. The PHY then enters low power idle mode. This mode is defined by a 22.35mili-seconds
quiet period followed by a 210us refresh pulse. Then once a port sends a packet and the egress queue is
no longer empty a wake up period is needed for the PHY to return to full operation. The default wake
times are set to 17 micro-seconds for 1000Base and 30 micro-seconds for 100Base. During this wakeup
time the packet will continue to buffer in the egress queue until the wake up timer has completed at this
point port traffic will begin to flow as normal.
The SGFEB can also support a reduced power mode for 10Base-T in which it modifies the copper media
transmit waveform to achieve power consumption savings.

Troubleshooting
1. Is the PWR (power) LED lit?
NO
• Is the power adapter the proper type of voltage and cycle frequency for the AC outlet?
• Is the power adapter properly installed in the media converter and in the outlet?
• If power LED blinking, may indicate incorrect or faulty power supply.
YES
• Proceed to step 2.
2. Verify DIP switch settings on pages 6 and 7. RJ45 port may auto-negotiate speed and duplex
with the link partner if enabled, otherwise it is defined by the DIP switch. Fiber port speed and
duplex are DIP switch defined only.
