Advanced Features

AutoCrossTM

AutoCrossTM automatically detects and configures the twisted pair port on the converter to the

 

correct MDI or MDI-X configuration allowing either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X)

 

cables to be used – see figure 20. No user intervention is required.

* Eliminates an entire category of troubleshooting

* No need to identify cable type; straight-through or crossover

* No user intervention required to determine correct button / switch settings

Auto-Negotiation

Auto-Negotiation allows devices to perform automatic configuration to achieve the best

(IEEE 802.3u)

possible mode of operation over a link. The Media Converter will broadcast its speed

 

(10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps) and duplex (half/full) capabilities to other devices and

 

negotiate the best mode of operation between the two devices.

 

* No user intervention required to determine best mode of operation

 

* Optimal link established automatically

 

* Quick and easy installation

 

Note:

If the Media Converter is connected to a non-negotiating device over the copper link,

 

 

it will default to 10Mb/s speed, half duplex mode.

 

 

Pause

PAUSE signaling is an IEEE feature that is used to temporarily suspend data transmission

(IEEE 802.3xy)

between two devices in the event that one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. In the event

 

that a device needs some time to clear network congestion, it will send out a PAUSE signal to

 

the other end device, which will then wait a pre-determined amount of time before re-

 

transmitting the data. Transition's converters will pass PAUSE signaling unhindered; ensuring

 

that the message is delivered to the end device.

 

* PAUSE enabled devices allowed to work properly

 

* Prevents loss of valuable data transmission

 

* Reduces bottlenecks and allows for efficient use of network devices

 

Note:

PAUSE signaling is not standardized over fiber media. Transition's media converters

 

 

will communicate this signaling over fiber between the converters to pass this

 

 

signaling on to the other end device.
