AUTO NEGOTIATION (TX AND FX)
AUTO NEGOTIATION TX
The iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX TX/SFP ships from the factory with Auto
Negotiation enabled on the twisted pair port. In this mode, the twisted pair port
negotiates for speed and duplex, autosensing 10 Mbps Full-Duplex, 10 Mbps
Half-Duplex, 100 Mbps Full-Duplex, 100 Mbps Half-Duplex, or 1000 Mbps
Full-Duplex with Flow Control. Auto Negotiation is set to ON by default.
FX AUTO NEGOTIATION (FX PORT)
The iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX TX/SFP includes the FX Negotiation feature, which
allows Auto Negotiation or a Force Mode on the Gigabit fiber link. Enabled by
default, it must be enabled or disabled on both ends of the connection to
establish a link. Only enable this feature if the connecting device supports it.
When FX Auto Negotiation is enabled, Fiber Alert does not need to be
enabled.
FLOW CONTROL
Flow Control is used to throttle the END device to avoid dropping packets
during network congestion. Flow Control is enabled by Default when the port
is set to Auto Negotiation. The copper port will automatically use the physical
layer back pressure for Flow Control when configured to Half Duplex
Operation.
