Instruction manual

information to the fiber segment. If a media converter is not receiving a twisted

pair link, TX LinkLoss disables the transmitter on the media converter's fiber port.

The result is in a loss of the link on the device connected to the fiber port.

FiberAlert (FA)

FiberAlert minimizes the

problems associated with the

loss of one strand of fiber. If

a strand is unavailable, the

B&B Electronics device at the

receiver end notes the loss

of link. The device will then

stop transmitting data and

the link

signal until a signal or link pulse

is received. The result is that the link LED on BOTH sides of the fiber connection

will go out indicating a fault somewhere in the fiber loop. Using FiberAlert, a

local site administrator is notified of a fault and can quickly determine where a

cable fault is located.

WARNING

Enable FiberAlert on one side of a media conversion only. Enabling it on

both sides would keep both transmitters off indefinitely.
