SISTG10xx-111-LR(T) Industrial Media Converter

Advanced Features, continued

Link Pass

Link Pass Through is a troubleshooting feature that allows the media converter to monitor both

Through

the fiber and copper RX ports for loss of signal. In the event of a loss of RX signal on one

 

media port, the converter will automatically disable the TX signal of the other media port, thus

 

"passing through" the link loss. (see diagram below)

 

* End device automatically notified of link loss

 

* Prevents loss of valuable data unknowingly transmitted over invalid link

 

Note: Once the fault condition is resolved, the LNK/ACT LED will blink for 2 ~ 6 seconds

 

while the connection is recovering from the failure.
