6. LINK PASS THROUGH FUNCTION
The LFP function includes the Link Fault Pass Through function (LLCF/LLR). LLCF/LLR can immediately alarm adminis-
trators the problem of the link media and provide efficient solution to monitor the net.
LLCF (Link Loss Carry Forward) means when a device connected to the converter and the TP line loss the link, the
converter’s fiber will disconnect the link of transmit. LLR (Link Loss Return) means when a device connected to the con-
verter and the fiber line loss the link, the converter’s fiber will disconnect the link of transmit. Both can immediately alarm
administrators the problem of the link media and provide efficient solution to monitor the net.
6.1 Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF)
The LLCF function for troubleshooting a remote connection. When LLCF is enabled, the FL/TP ports do not transmit a link
signal until they receive a link signal from the opposite port.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with a good link status using FST-8/GST-7 Media Converter
boards for remote connectivity.

If the connection breaks, FST-8/GST-7 Media Converter boards that link loss forward to the switch/hub which generates a
trap to the management station. The administrator can then determine the source of the issue.

6.2 Link Loss Return (LLR)
The LLR function for troubleshooting a remote connection. LLR works in conjunction with LLCF.
When LLR is enabled, the port’s transmitter shuts down when its receiver fails to detect a valid receive link. LLR should only
be enabled on one end of the link and is typically enabled on either the unmanaged or remote device.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with a good link status using FST-8/GST-7 Media Converter
boards for remote connectivity.
Note that LLR and LLCF are enabled as indicated in the diagram.

If one of the optical conductors is bad (as shown in the diagram box below), the converter with LLR enabled will return a
no-link condition to its link partner. With LLCF also enabled, the no-link condition is carried forward to the switch/hub where
a trap is generated to the management station, and the administrator can then determine the source of the loss.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the Web Smart Media Converter Chassis is not functioning
properly, make sure the device was set up according to instructions in this manual.
The Power LED is not lit
Solution:
Check the power cable connection between power supply unit and Web Smart Media Converter Chassis.
What is the difference between MC-7/10/15 series chassis and MC-1600M series chassis?
Solution:
Except provide power supply to each slot and centralize management, the MC-1600M series chassis
also provide local command line console and remote Web interface for efficient management.
Can I install FT-70x/FT-80x and GT-70x series Media converter into the Web Smart Media Converter
Chassis?
Solution:
No. due to different hardware designed, the FT-70x / FT-80x and GT-70x cannot install into Web Smart Media
Converter Chassis.
What if I forget current password of Web Smart Media Converter Chassis?
Solution:
1. Please enter into console interface, use username: planet and password: [^_^] to access
console interface. Then use “show pass” command to display current password.
2. Please press “Reset” button from the management module for 5 seconds then the Web Smart
Media Converter Chassis will reset to factory default mode (username and password is admin).
