Enabled: If the media converter detects a loss of signal on the
fiber receiver, it will immediately disable its fiber transmitter signal
on the same port. This, in effect, notifies the fiber link partner that
an error condition exists on the fiber connection.
If the remote media converter is set up for Far End Fault(FEF) and
the local media converter is set up with Link Pass-Through, a loss
of fiber link on either the transmit or receive line will be passed
through to the local copper connection thus notifying the
connected device.
If the media converter has been set to Link Pass-Through mode,
the effect will be the same as FEF, since the link loss on the fiber
receiver will result in bringing down the copper link, which will in
turn cause the transmit fiber link to be brought down.
Note: This feature only takes affect if Auto-negotiation (Switch 1)
has been turned Off.
Disabled: The media converter will not monitor for or generate Far
End Fault.
