| Smart Link Pass-Through |
When the Smart Link Pass-Through
switch is enabled (default), each port will reflect the state of its
port peer. In this mode, if a link loss is detected on one port, the
transmit signal on the other port is disabled “passing through” the
state of the failed link. This enables managed switches and other
devices to report link failures to their network NMS.
When the switch is in the down
position, Smart Link Pass-Through is disabled. If a link loss is
detected on one port, the transmit signal remains enabled on the other
port. |
| Fiber Fault Alert |
With Fiber Fault Alert the state of
the 10 Gigabit Ethernet receiver is passed to the transmitter. This
provides fault notification to the partner device attached to the 10G
Ethernet interface of the media converter. |
| 3R – Optical Signal Regeneration |
Optical signal regeneration: 3R ( Re-amplify, Reshape, and Retime the signal ) ensures that there is a quality link at 10 Gigabit speeds. |
| Built-in Link Test |
When enabled, the built-in packet
generator transmits Ethernet test frames to its 10 Gigabit Ethernet
peer. The remote media converter will auto-detect the test frames and
loopback the test frames. Any frames received in error, will cause the
Power, LK1 and LK2 LEDs to illuminate in a specific combination to
identify the error. During the test different bit test patterns will be
utilized every 5 seconds ensuring a thorough link test. |
| Test Mode Auto-detect |
No switches are required to be
flipped in order to go into test mode. The remote media converter will
enter test mode automatically when requested by its central site peer.
This virtually eliminates unnecessary truck rolls to a remote site when
diagnosing a link failure. |
| EDC Mode Control |
Electronic Dispersion Compensation
(EDC) is an algorithmic method used to compensate for optical dispersion
that occurs on high speed 10 Gigabit links. EDC mode settings are
automatically configured by the media converter based on the information
retrieved from the SFP+ or XFP module. This will enable proper
operation for extended multimode 10GBase-LRM as well as active or
passive copper cabling. |
| Module Temperature Protection |
Protects your DOM/DMI capable SFP+
or XFP module by monitoring its internal temperature and will
automatically shut down the XFP or SFP if the module is operating above
its maximum temperature threshold. |
| High Power Level 4 XFPs |
High powered Level 4 XFPs are supported in XTSH and XTXH models. |
| Gigabit SFP support |
The 10 Gigabit media converter model
with dual SFP+ slots can also support Gigabit (1000Base-X) SFPs. This
allows users to use Gigabit SFPs today and migrate to 10G SFP+ in the
future. Both slots must be populated with Gigabit SFPs. |
| Jumbo Packets |
Transparent to jumbo packets. |
| VLAN |
Transparent to VLAN tagged packets. |
| Power Strain Relief strap |
A strain relief strap is provided to
ensure a solid and secure power connection to the media converter.
Ideal for areas that may be exposed to any vibration. |
| Remote Loopback |
Capable of performing a loopback on
each 10 Gigabit interface. In this mode, all frames received on the port
in loopback mode will be transmitted back. This provides users with the
capability of utilizing their own in-house test generators for testing
the link. |
