Transparent with Extra Tagging
Transparent with Extra Tagging mode can add an extra tag to data received on the DATA
port. By using Extra Tagging in a Host/Remote Managed Media Converter pair, all data
received on the Remote Managed Media Converter DATA port can be extra-tagged and sent
out of the Host Managed Media Converter DATA port with a unique tag for identification in
the Host cloud. In the reverse direction the extra tag is removed before sending the data out
of the Remote Managed Media Converter DATA port.

When FX LinkLoss is enabled on the Managed Media Converter module, the fiber fault is
forwarded to that module’s RJ-45 connection. This turns off the link on the RJ-45 port which
can then be detected by the connected device.
