Standard Mode
Smart Link Pass-Through: In this mode, the link state on one
fiber connection is directly reflected through the media converter to
the other fiber connection. If fiber link is lost on one of the
connections, then the other fiber link will be brought down by the
media converter.
Standard Mode: In this mode, the links can be brought up and
down independently of each other. A loss of link on either fiber
connection can occur without affecting the other fiber connection
