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 media converter supports pause negotiation on the 10/100Base-TX copper connection. Backup and restore. It provides fast and easy module replacement. Management module will always save a copy of the media converter configuration and will restore this configuration automatically to the media module when it is detected in the slot. Link pass-through. With link pass-through the state of the UTP receiver is passed to the fiber transmitter to make the media converter appear transparent to the end devices that are connected. In addition if Far-End Fault is enabled the media converter can turn off the 10/100Base-TX transmitter when a Far-End Fault (FEF) is received. Using link pass-through with Far-End Fault (FEF) minimizes data loss when a fault occurs. Auto-MDIX. Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling on the UTP interface to determine the type of cable connected 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 media converter to the device on the other end of the cable. Far-End Fault (FEF). The media converter implements the 802.3 standard for Far-End Fault (FEF) for the indication and detection of remote fault conditions on the 100Base-X fiber connection. With Far-End Fault (FEF) enabled the media converter transmits the Far-End Fault (FEF) indication over the 100Base-X fiber connection whenever a receive failure is detected on the 100Base-X fiber connection. The media converter continuously monitors the 100Base-X fiber connection for a valid signal. Detailed port statistics. To assist in troubleshooting copper and fiber links, an extensive list of ingress and egress counters for both copper and fiber ports are available. These statistics can be viewed locally via the management module or from a central SNMP NMS on the network.
