Built-in Link
Test
When enabled, the built-in packet generator transmits Ethernet test frames to its 10 Gigabit
Ethernet peer. The remote media converter will auto-detect the test frames and loopback the
test frames. Any frames received in error, will cause the Power, LK1 and LK2 LEDs to
illuminate in a specific combination to identify the error. During the test different bit test
patterns will be utilized every 5 seconds ensuring a thorough link test.
Test Mode
Auto-detect
No switches are required to be flipped in order to go into test mode. The remote media
converter will enter test mode automatically when requested by its central site peer. This
virtually eliminates unnecessary truck rolls to a remote site when diagnosing a link failure.
EDC Mode
Control
Electronic Dispersion Compensation (EDC) is an algorithmic method used to compensate
for optical dispersion that occurs on high speed 10 Gigabit links. EDC mode settings are
automatically configured by the media converter based on the information retrieved from the
SFP+ or XFP module. This will enable proper operation for extended multimode 10GBase-
LRM as well as active or passive copper cabling.
Module
Temperature
Protection
Protects your DOM/DMI capable SFP+ or XFP module by monitoring its internal temperature
and will automatically shut down the XFP or SFP if the module is operating above its
maximum temperature threshold.
High Power
Level 4 XFPs
High powered Level 4 XFPs are supported.
Gigabit SFP
support
The 10 Gigabit media converter model with the SFP slot can also support Gigabit
(1000Base-X) SFPs. This allows users to use Gigabit SFPs today and migrate to 10G SFP+
in the future.
Jumbo
Packets
Transparent to jumbo packets.
VLAN
Transparent to VLAN tagged packets.
Power Strain
Relief strap
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 any vibration.
Remote
Loopback
Capable of performing a loopback on the 10 Gigabit interface. In this mode, all frames
received on the port in loopback mode will be transmitted back. This provides users with the
capability of utilizing their own in-house test generators for testing the link.
