Auto

Negotiation
When
the
Auto
‐
Negotiation
feature
is
activated,
the
media
converter
configures
itself
to
achieve
the
best
possible
mode
of
operation
over
a
link,
automatically.
The
media
converter
broadcasts
its
speed
(
100
Mb/s
)
and
duplex
capabilities
(
either
fullor
half
‐
duplex
)
and
negotiates
the
best
mode
of
operation
between
the
two
devices.
Pause
Control
The
Pause
feature
can
improve
network
performance
by
allowing
one
end
of
the
link
to
signal
the
other
to
discontinue
frame
transmission
for
a
set
period
of
time
to
relieve
buffer
congestion.
Note
:
If
the
Pause
feature
is
available
on
ALL
network
devices
attached
to
the
media
converter(s),
enable
the
Pause
feature
on
the
media
converter(s);
otherwise,
disable
the
Pause
feature.

when
connecting
to
devices
such
as
hubs,
transceivers,
or
network
interface
cards
(NICs).

determines
the
characteristics
of
the
