1.3 Special Functions

AutoMDI/MDI-XFunction

This function allows the copper port to auto-detect the twisted-pair sig- nals and adapts itself to form a valid MDI to MDI-X connection with the remote connected device automatically.

Link Fault Pass Through Function

When a link fault is detected on the copper port, the device will force a link down on the fiber port immediately. Similarly, a link fault detected on the fiber port will also force a link down on the copper port. As illustrated in the following figure, this function allows to pass copper link fault to the remote link partner and makes the converter like a twisted pair cable extender.
