OVERVIEW
Thank you for choosing the Smart 10/100TX to 100FX Media
Converter, The Media Converter introduced here provides one
channel media conversion between 10/100TX and 100FX.
About Media Converter
The Smart Media Converter utililizes a network technology
specied by IEEE802.3 10Base-T, IEEE802.3u 100Base-TX,
100Base-FX standards.
About Link Pass Through
When LLCF (Link Loss Carry Forward) is enabled, the ports do
not transmit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the
opposite port. Link loss is “carried forward” to the managed switch
or hub that is sending the link. LLCF can be used for either the
copper or ber ports.
When LLR (Link Loss Return) is enabled, the ber port’s
transmitter shuts down if its receiver fails to detect a valid receive
link. If one of the optical conductors is bad, the converter with LLR
enabled will return a no link condition to its link partner. LLR is
used to detect link problems only on the ber port.
