Direct conversion
In smart-forward mode, the converter can change to direct conversion
automatically when it detects the same speed on both the TP port and the FX
port. Direct conversion method converts the signal between the TP port and the
FX port without storing the received packet on one port then forwarding to
another port. The media converter operates with the minimum delay.
Note:
1.
In direct conversion, both devices connected to the TP port and FX port
must have the same duplex modem setting for proper transmission.
2.
In direct conversion, the 802.3x function is disabled and the media
converter will not generate pause frame, but forwards the received pause
frame directly from one port to another.
3.
In direct conversion, the media converter is not limited to the maximal
length of the receiving packets.
