6. LINK PASS THROUGH FUNCTION
The LFP function includes the Link Fault Pass Through function (LLCF/LLR). LLCF/LLR can immediately alarm administrators
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 converter 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 / GST-8 Media Con-
verter boards for remote connectivity.
Management Switch/Hub Media Media Switch/Hub Management
Station w/SNMP Converter Converter w/SNMP Station
● LED lit = established link ○ LED unlit = no link
Fiber
If the connection breaks, FST-8 / GST-7 / GST-8 Media Converter boards that link loss forward to the switch/hub which gen-
erates 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 / GST-8 Media Con-
verter boards for remote connectivity.
Note that LLR and LLCF are enabled as indicated in the diagram.

● LED lit = established link ○ LED unlit = no link
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.

Implicit implementation of the crossover function within a twisted-pair cable, or at a wiring panel, while not expressly forbidden,
is beyond the scope of this standard.
A.2 10/100Mbps, 10/100Base-TX
When connecting your 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch to another switch, a bridge or a hub, a straight or crossover cable is
necessary. Each port of the device supports auto-MDI/MDI-X detection. That means you can directly connect the Switch to any
Ethernet devices without making a crossover cable. The following table and diagram show the standard RJ-45 receptacle/
connector and their pin assignments:
