Transparent with Tagged Management
Transparent with Tagged Management mode passes both tagged and untagged traffic between
the DATA port and the OPTICS (or UPLINK) port. By using a VLAN Tag you can isolate
and route the management path in the module. This method can be used with or without
continuing the management path down the EXT MGMT port.
Configuring
To configure this mode, perform the following:
1.
Set the management DIP switch ON for the ports using management (in this example it is
the OPTICS (or UPLINK) 3 = ON and EXT MGMT 1 = ON).
2.
Set Transparent Mode to allow both tagged and untagged traffic to pass:
a.
From the Main Configuration Screen, press the space bar and type

Transparent Mode – with either (not both) Data and Optics Mgmt dipswitches
set to on, all traffic passes between Optics and Data port EXCEPT what has
been defined as the Management Domain. The Management Domain can either be
defined as untagged traffic or traffic with a specified VLAN ID.
In Transparent Mode with BOTH Optics and Data Mgmt dipswitches set to off,
all traffic passes between the Optics and Data Ports.
Default Mode – the unit passes only Untagged Packets.
The unit is currently
in Default Mode
.
Enter Y for Transparent Mode, N for no Transparent Mode or <enter> to

When TX LinkLoss is enabled on the remote Managed Media Converter module, a twisted
pair fault turns off the fiber port transmitter. This allows the fiber-connected device to detect
a link fault.
