Auto‐Negotiation
WhentheAuto‐Negotiationfeatureisactivated,themediaconverterconfiguresitselftoachievethebestpossible
modeofoperationoveralink,automatically.Themediaconverterbroadcastsitsspeed(100Mb/s)andduplex
capabilities(eitherfullorhalf‐duplex)andnegotiatesthebestmodeofoperationbetweenthetwodevices.
PauseControl
ThePausefeaturecanimprovenetworkperformancebyallowingoneendofthelinktosignaltheotherto

ActiveLinkPass‐Through(ALPT)
LinkPass‐Throughisatroubleshootingfeaturethatallowsthemediaconvertertomonitorboththefiberand
copperRXportsforlossofsignal.WiththelossofRXsignalononemediaport,theconverterwillautomatically
disabletheTXsignaloftheothermediaport,thus“passingthrough”thelinkloss.
Enddeviceautomaticallynotifiedoflinkloss
Preventslossofvaluabledataunknowinglytransmittedoverinvalidlink
ActiveLPTisaformofLPTthatrequiresthelinkstobecomeActivebeforeLPTbecomesActive.
WithActiveLPTthereare2states:DiagnosticandActive.
ThemediaconverterenterstheDiagnosticstatewheneitherofthefollowingconditionsismet:
Uponpower‐upoftheconverter.
UponlosingLinkoneitherthecopperorfiberports.
IntheDiagnosticstate,thelinkforeachofthemediaconverter’sportscancomeupindependentlyofeachother,
justlikeaconverterthathasnoLPTfunctionality,oraconverterthathasLPTisdisabled.TheDiagnosticstateis
helpfulduringfirstpowerup,beforealllinksofacircuitareconnected,asitallowstheinstallertoseeeachlink
turnonasthecablesarepluggedin.It’salsohelpfulforfindingthelocationofafault,ifoneexists.
ThemediaconverterremainsintheDiagnosticstateuntilthefollowingconditionismet:
Thelinkstatusforbothofthemediaconverter’sportsisup,simultaneously.
Afterthatconditionismet,ALPTenterstheActivestate.ItremainsintheActivestateuntiltheconverteriseither

Far‐EndFaultisavaluablefeatureusedinamediaconverterwhenitlosesReceiveFiberlink,butstillhasavalid
FiberTransmitlink.
Whenafaultoccursonanincomingfiberlink(1),themediaconvertertransmitsaFar‐EndFaultsignalonthe
outgoingfiberlink(2).Inaddition,theFar‐EndFaultsignalalsoactivatestheLinkPass‐Through,whichinturn
