Auto-MDIX:

Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signalling on the 100BASE-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 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.
