information to the fiber segment. If a media converter is not receiving a twisted
pair link, TX LinkLoss disables the transmitter on the media converter's fiber port.
The result is in a loss of the link on the device connected to the fiber port.
FiberAlert (FA)
FiberAlert minimizes the
problems associated with the
loss of one strand of fiber. If
a strand is unavailable, the
B&B Electronics device at the
receiver end notes the loss
of link. The device will then
stop transmitting data and
the link
signal until a signal or link pulse
is received. The result is that the link LED on BOTH sides of the fiber connection
will go out indicating a fault somewhere in the fiber loop. Using FiberAlert, a
local site administrator is notified of a fault and can quickly determine where a
cable fault is located.
WARNING
Enable FiberAlert on one side of a media conversion only. Enabling it on
both sides would keep both transmitters off indefinitely.
