| Backup and Restore |
Provides fast and easy module
replacement. Management module will always save a copy of the media
converter configuration and will restore this configuration
automatically to the media module when it is detected in the slot. |
| Auto-Negotiation (802.3ab) |
The 1000Base-X fiber interfaces negotiate according to 802.3 clause 37. |
| Smart Link Pass-Through |
When the Link Mode switch is placed
into Smart Link Pass-Through mode, the 1000BASE-X link on one port will
reflect the state of the other 1000Base-X media converter port. This
feature can be used whether fiber auto-negotiation is enabled or
disabled. |
| Fiber Fault Alert |
With Fiber Fault Alert the state of
the 1000Base-X receiver is passed to the 1000Base-X transmitter. This
provides fault notification to the partner device attached to the
1000Base-X interface of the media converter. If the 1000Base-X
transmitter is off as a result of this fault it will be turned on
periodically to allow the condition to clear should the partner device
on the 1000Base-X be using a similar technique. This eliminates the
possibility of lockouts that occur with some media converters. Applies
only when fiber auto-negotiation is disabled. |
| Pause (IEEE 802.3x) |
Pause signaling is an IEEE feature
that temporarily suspends data transmission between two devices in the
event that one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. The media converter
is transparent to Pause frames. |
| Signal Regeneration |
Signal regeneration maintains signal integrity and allows for maximum fiber to fiber connections without degradation. |
| Cascading |
Media Converters can be cascaded. Two or more Media Converters can be chained in a link to achieve even greater distances |
| Duplex |
Full and half
duplex operation supported. |
| Jumbo Packets |
Transparent to jumbo packets up to 10KB-default. Jumbo packet support can be disabled. |
| VLAN |
Transparent to VLAN tagged packets. |
| Remote Loopback |
The Media Converter can perform a loopback on each 1000Base-X fiber interface. |
