Pass-Through enabled, 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 Module has been set to Smart Link Pass- Through mode, the effect will be the same as FFA, 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 effect if Fiber Negotiation has been turned OFF.

The following diagram is an illustration of the operation of this feature.

(A)– Remote Media Converter setup for Fiber Fault Alert - Enabled, Fiber Negotiation – OFF and Link Mode – Normal.

(B)– Local Media Converter setup for Smart Link Pass-Through - Enabled and Fiber Negotiation - OFF

1.– (A) loses fiber connection on its receiver

2.(A) disables fiber transmitter

3.(B) detects loss of link in its fiber receiver

4.(B) drops link on copper connection through Smart Link Pass-Through

5.(A) Link on copper connection is not affected.
