Power Over Ethernet
( PSE )
|
Performs the Power Sourcing
Equipment ( PSE ) function for IEEE 802.3af (15.4 watts PoE) and IEEE
802.3at ( up to 30 watts PoE+ ) compliant devices.
Available in PoE and PoE+ models
PoE+ models support both Type 1 ( PoE ) and Type 2 ( PoE+ ) PD gear
|
|
Advanced Power Management
|
- Enable/Disable PSE power
- PD signature detection
- Over-Current Protection
- PD power classification detection ( Class 0,1,2,3,4 )
|
|
PD Power Reset
|
Ideal for remotely resetting
equipment, this configurable function performs a momentary power reset
to the attached Powered Device (PD). When enabled, the media converter
will, upon loss of fiber RX, turn off PSE output power supplied to the
PD device for 2 seconds then turn the power back on and leave it on
until such time that another fiber RX link is lost (after it was
re-established). When disabled, a loss of fiber RX has no effect on PSE
power to the PD device(s).
|
|
Powered Device Support
|
Support is included for a broad range of PD ( Powered Devices )
- IEEE Standard PoE/PoE+ ( Alternative A and B )
- Legacy High Capacitance PDs
- Legacy VoIP phones and Wireless Access Points
|
|
Power Strain Relief strap
|
Included with all models, 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
vibration.
|
|
Auto-Negotiation (802.3u)
|
The media converter supports auto negotiation on the 10/100Base-TX interface.
|
|
Auto-MDIX
|
Auto-MDIX (automatic
medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling on the UTP
interface to determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or
crossover) and automatically configures the connection when enabled.
With Auto-MDIX enabled, either a straight-through or crossover type
cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the
other end of the cable.
|
|
Link Pass-Through
|
With Link Pass-Through the state of
the UTP receiver is passed to the fiber transmitter to make the media
converter appear transparent to the end devices that are connected. In
addition if Far-End Fault is enabled the media converter can turn off
the 10/100Base-TX transmitter when a FAR-End Fault is received.
Using Link Pass-Through with Far-End
Fault minimizes data loss when a fault occurs. Should a fault occur, the
end devices have the indication of a failure available to them making
trouble shooting easier.
|
|
Far-End Fault (FEF)
|
The media converter implements the
802.3 standard for Far-End Fault for the indication and detection of
remote fault conditions on the 100Base-X fiber connection. With Far-End
Fault enabled the media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication
over the 100Base-X fiber connection whenever a receive failure is
detected on the 100Base-X fiber connection. The media converter
continuously monitors the100Base-X fiber connection for a valid signal.
The action the media converter takes
on receiving a Far-End Fault Indication is dependent on the Link
Pass-Through switch setting.
|
|
Pause (IEEE 802.3xy)
|
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 supports pause negotiation on the 10/100Base-TX copper
connection.
|
|
Duplex
|
Full and half duplex operation supported.
|
|
VLAN
|
Transparent to VLAN tagged packets.
|
|
Remote Loopback
|
Capable of performing a loopback on the 100Base-X fiber interface.
