Perle 10/100/1000 Media Converter Module – Installation Guide

Other Features Auto-MDIX
Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependent interface crossover)
detects the signalling on the 10/100/1000BASE-T interface to
determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or
crossover) and automatically configures the connection.
Error Recovery
In certain configurations, and under specific conditions where the
Media Converter Module brings down a link to convey status,
there is potential for a deadlock. Recovery is achieved by
momentarily restoring the link to see if the original failure has been
resolved. If it has not, the link will be forced down again, however
if the original problem has been resolved, the link will be restored.
Pause (IEEE 802.3xy)
Integrated Pause signalling is an IEEE feature that temporarily
suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that
one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. The Perle Media
Converter Module can generate and respond to Pause messages.
