Perle SR-100 Fast Ethernet Media Converter Installation Guide 14
Other Features
Auto-MDIX:
Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover)
detects the signalling on the 100BASE-T interface to determine
the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and
automatically configures the connection.
Error Recovery:
In certain configurations, and under specific conditions where the
media converter brings down a link to convey status, there is
potential for a deadlock. Recovery is achieved by momentarily
restoring the link to see if the original failure has been resolved. If
it has not, the link will be forced down again, however if the
original problem has been resolved, the link will be restored
