Question
Is 100Mbps SFP module supported in a setup with fiber connectivity between AUTODOME 7100i and Wall arm & PSU?
Answer
Test Setup Overview:
-
AUTODOME 7100i Camera: NDP-7602-Z40 (CPP13 v8.93.0030/8.93.0031): Data Sheet
-
Wall Arm & PSU: NDA-7100-PA2HF: Data Sheet
-
Switch: Alcatel OS6860N-P48Z (firmware: 8.10.105.R02 GA)
-
SFP Modules Tested: Various single-mode SFPs (850nm / 1310nm), including copper and fiber optics.
Results and Observations
-
The internal LAN port and copper SFP port (with autonegotiation enabled) functioned correctly.
-
When inserting fiber optic SFPs, no connection could be established - regardless of whether the port was set to autonegotiation or manually configured to 100Mb full duplex.
-
Once an SFP module is inserted, the internal LAN port is deactivated automatically.
-
No MAC address or other network activity is registered on the switch from the fiber-connected port.
Conclusion: SFP Compatibility
-
100Mbps SFP modules are not supported.
-
Only 1Gbps non-SGMII SFP modules are compatible with this setup.
Verified Working SFP Modules
The following SFP modules were successfully tested and confirmed working:
-
Moxa SFP-1GLSXLC-T
-
Cisco GLC-LX-SM-RGD
Important Power Consideration
When using the fiber optic interface, ensure the camera is powered using 24VAC or 36VDC, not standard PoE or 230VAC setups.
