@baechlidaeschli just take the fiber optic cable from SC from the days of Centro-Grande Fiber.
but I have glass!
I have the following components in use:
- TP-Link MC220L - Gigabit Ethernet media converter
- Cisco Transceiver Module SFP 1000BASE-T
@Studermarc009 check your SFP whether they are plugged in properly and on the
TP-Link VLAN 10 is configured. 2. You may need to re-register the router.
@user109 I tried again this evening, unfortunately without success.
Do you know how to configure the model: TP-Link MC220L - Gigabit Ethernet media converter with VLAN 10?
For the 2nd option, re-registering the router, I don’t think it’s necessary because when I connect the box direct in the glass port it works, but unfortunately not when I plug the converter in between.
@XT Do you also have an idea how I should set this up?
@Rattenjunge Did you set the converter aux Auto or Force? I tested both modes but unfortunately it didn’t work, and have you done anything special in IB2?
Thanks in advance for your help
You do not need to configure VLAN ID 10.
A the converter can’t do that at all
B, the SFP slot of the Internet Box is configured like this.
I’m assuming you’re using the house wiring.
Have you already tested the setup together? So from the converter directly to the router with a patch cable and not via the apartment cabling.
I need these converters for point-to-point connections in completely different applications. It turned out that devices with only 100 Mbps on the Ethernet connection cannot work.
So if you have a problem with your apartment’s wiring, you could check it this way.
I’ve been testing since the beginning without the apartment wiring
1. I know that the apartment wiring works, I put the TV Box 2 over this wiring and there is no problem. (that’s only if I plug the box into the distribution box directly from the glass connection)
2. The converter works even if I test it separately. and the Ethernet SFP too. I left the IB2 on the glass connection and linked the laptop to the box via the converter with the Ethernet SFP, and there was no problem there either.
The problem is when I plug the converter between the IB2 and the glass connection:
Swisscom socket with glass -> converter with the glass SFP from Swisscom -> ethernet cable to the IB2 in the glass port with the Ethernet SFP. And then suddenly there was no internet anymore.

@WalterB Sorry, I didn’t understand that at all. what do you mean by “use the white flat LAN cable included”
Do you mean if I use the 5m or 10M cable to connect the converter? I haven’t tried it yet but I’ll do it now

Exactly to connect the converter!

Do you know the converter well? it always does that when I connect it:
The PWR and FX Link LEDs are on. When I then turn on the box, after a short while the TP link LED also comes on, then the RX LED flashes once, and suddenly the RX and TP Link LED go out (and no longer come on)
I assume that it’s because it tried to connect to the box, but because it doesn’t work, it turns off again.

I just did it, it’s the same as before with the other ethernet cables.
So I plugged the glass cable into the converter, the gigabit ethernet cable into the ethernet slot of the converter, and then plugged the other connection from the cable into the ethernet SPF that I had plugged into the IB2.
Unfortunately I can’t test it myself because the copper connection, if you did it exactly according to the instructions below, it should work.

The problem is that the IB2 simply doesn’t want to connect to the converter.
But you already waited over 5 minutes after reconnecting?
Try switching off the Internet box and then installing the whole thing and then switching it on again after installing and waiting 5-8 minutes!
