Link fault pass-through (LFP)
Link fault pass-through can notify you of link problems and provides
an ecient solution to monitor your network. The LFP DIP switch is
set to ON by default, and you can use the DIP switch to enable (ON)
or disable (OFF) the LFP function.
Enable LFP
When the DIP switch is set to ON then LFP is enabled. When a device
is connected to the media converter, and the TP (twisted pair)
copper line or Fiber line drops the link, then the media converter
will disconnect the transmission link on the opposite interface.
• Slide the LFP DIP switch to the ON position to enable LFP.
Disable LFP
When the DIP switch is set to OFF then LFP is disabled. If you are
familiar with your network infrastructure and proper diagnostic
procedures then you can disable LFP, otherwise it is recommended
to leave the DIP switch in the default ON position.
• Slide the LFP DIP switch to the OFF position to disable LFP. Once
set to OFF, reset the media converter by disconnecting and
reconnecting the power.
Duplex mode support
The media converter’s RJ45 port supports 10/100/1000Mbps
networks and will automatically negotiate the connection type. By
default, it will automatically detect the link speed and the duplex
mode of your connected equipment.
The media converter’s ber port (1000Base-SX/LX) allows 1000Mbps
full duplex auto-negotiation. Check to ensure the duplex setting of
the connected ber equipment matches the duplex setting of the
media converter.
