LLCF Function

LLCF allows the network administrator to quickly troubleshoot the network connection based on the LEDs on

the Fiber Converters. When the TX port link is down, the converter will force the fiber port link to shutdown. When the fiber port link is down, the converter will force the TX port link to shutdown.

Below are examples on how to read the LLCF Function Table: Example 1: If LLCF is enabled on Fiber Converter 1 and disable on Media Converter 2, when Cable 1 link is down, Fiber Converter 1's Copper and Fiber LED and Fiber Converter 2's Fiber LED will shut off. Fiber Converter 2's Copper LED remains on.

Example 2: If LLCF is disabled on both Fiber Converters, when Cable 4 link is down, Fiber Converter 1's Copper and Fiber LED and Fiber Converter 2's Fiber LED remains on. Fiber Converter 2's Copper LED will shut off.
