Fast Ethernet Media Converter
Link Loss Forwarding Disable
With
DIP-switch 3
in the
OFF
(up) position, the converter will
not operate in the Link Loss Forwarding mode. In this case,
fault events are not signaled across the link or to the distant
unit. (
Default setting
).
Link Loss Forwarding Enable
With
DIP-switch 3
in the
ON
(down) position, the converter
will enable the Link Loss Forwarding function which can be
used to extend the fault status over the link to the distant unit.
Switch converter mode
With
DIP-switch 4
in the
OFF
(up) position the converter will
operate in store and forward switch converter mode. In this
mode any illegal frames will be rejected by the converter
(
Default setting
).
Pure converter mode
With
DIP-switch 4
in the
ON
(down) position the converter will
operate in “pure “ converter mode. In this position the
converter will transmit the data as soon as it is received and so
the traffic will flow quicker than when in switch converter
mode. For such applications the converter should operate in
100M operation.
Notes:-
§
After changing the DIP-switch setting, the unit needs to be reset
by power-cycling before the switch changes can take effect.
