Other Features
Auto-MDIX:
Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover)
detects the signalling on the 10/100BASE-T interface to determine
the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and
automatically configures the connection.
Error Recovery:
In certain configurations, and under specific conditions where the
media converter brings down a link to convey status, there is
potential for a deadlock. Recovery is achieved by momentarily
restoring the link to see if the original failure has been resolved.
If it has not, the link will be forced down again, however if the
original problem has been resolved, the link will be restored.
Pause (IEEE 802.3xy):
Integrated Pause signalling is an IEEE feature that temporarily
suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that
one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. The Perle media
converter can generate and respond to Pause messages.
Troubleshooting
General
• Ensure power is supplied to the media converter – use of the
supplied power adapters is highly recommended.
• Ensure the remote device’s fiber connection type is
compatible with the media converter. If using a simplex fiber
connection, ensure that you have both an Upstream (U) and
Downstream (D) media converter.
• Ensure all cabling is of the correct type and is in good working
order.
• For duplex fiber connections, ensure the RX and TX has been
reversed between the 2 media converters.
