AutoCross Feature for Twisted Pair Connection

All twisted pair ports on the IE-iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP include AutoCross, a feature
that automatically selects between a crossover workstation and a straight-through
connection depending on the connected device.

LED Operation

Each IE-iMcV-MediaLinX TX/SFP Module features diagnostic LEDs that provide
information on features and ports.

Twisted Pair LEDs

TXLL

Glows when TX LinkLoss is enabled.
Blinks when a fault occurs on the
copper port and actively disables the
fiber port.

100

Glows yellow when 100 Mbps is
selected on port.

LNK/ACT

Glows green when a link is established
on port. Blinks green when data
activity occur.

FDX/COL

Glows yellow when port is in Full-
Duplex Mode. Blinks yellow when
modules are being operated in Half-
Duplex Mode and collisions occur.

Fiber Optic LEDs

FXLL

Glows green when FX LinkLoss is
enabled.
Blinks when a fault occurs on the fiber
port and actively disables the copper
port.

LNK/ACT

Glows green when a link is established
on port. Blinks green when data
activity occurs.

FDX/COL

Glows yellow when port is in Full-
Duplex Mode. Blinks yellow when
modules are being operated in Half-
Duplex Mode and collisions occur.
