Allied Telesis media converters enable the connection of disparate cabling types in networks where many cabling types exist. Network
segments may also operate at different speeds and media converters can be used to convert between one speed and another.
Typically, media converters are used to connect copper and ber-optic cabling that coexist in a network. Converters exist in a variety
of standalone, multi-port and modular forms. These different physical forms address the need for different applications and conversion
densities.
MissingLink
™
The Allied Telesis MissingLink feature
enables a media converter to pass the link
status of their connections and thereby
trigger corrective action when a problem
on a link is detected.
For example, if the twisted pair cable to
the 10/100TX port on an Allied Telesis
media converter were to fail, the unit
would respond by dropping the link on the
100FX ber optic port.
Most managed devices, such as switches
and routers, can be congured to take a
specic recovery action in the event of
the loss of connection on a port. In some
cases, the unit can be congured to seek
a redundant path to a disconnected end-
node or send out a trap to a network
management station, and so alert the
network administrator of the problem.
Smart MissingLink
™
The Allied Telesis Smart MissingLink feature
has identical operation to MissingLink,
with the added functionality that the
media converter will also ash the Link
LED of the port with the link failure. This
aids with diagnostics, allowing network
administrators to more quickly locate, and
rectify the fault.
Redundancy
In many cases, Allied Telesis media
converters are critical components in a
network carrying data between sites over
long distances. It is imperative that all
efforts are taken to ensure reliability of
the network, and thus a network design
with redundancy is mandatory. The
components most likely to fail are the
power supplies. The majority of Allied
Telesis media converters can be deployed
with hot-swappable, hot-removable power
supplies to ensure maximum uptime.
