LinkLoss, FiberAlert and Link Fault Pass-Through
McPIM TP/FO and McLIM TX/FX and TX/SX include the following features:
•
FO/FX LinkLoss (a.k.a. "Fiber LinkLoss" or "LinkLoss")
•
TP/TX LinkLoss (a.k.a. "Twisted Pair LinkLoss” or "Reverse LinkLoss”)
•
FiberAlert and Pulsing FiberAlert
FiberAlert and LinkLoss are advanced troubleshooting features that can help you
locate "silent failures" on your network. However, it is vital to understand exactly
how FiberAlert and LinkLoss work, and how they will react in the network
configuration, before attempting to install the enclosed module(s).
WARNING
Installing modules without understanding the effects of FiberAlert and LinkLoss can cause
perfectly functioning units to appear flawed or non-functional.
