065-1096 10/100/1000BaseT/TX TO 1000BaseSX/LX GIGABIT SFP MEDIA CONVERTER 4 Installation In this chapter, we will take a look at how to install the Converter within its operating environment. To install your Media Converter, please see the following procedures: • • • • • • 4.1 Location 10/100/1000BaseT/TX port Gigabit SFP slot Link Fault Signaling Desktop installation Powering on unit Location The location selected for installing the Converter may greatly affect its performance.
065-1096 10/100/1000BaseT/TX TO 1000BaseSX/LX GIGABIT SFP MEDIA CONVERTER 4.4 Link Fault Signaling LFS is an important function that is extremely beneficial in terms of network status monitoring. The LFS function monitors both the copper and fiber segments to ensure that Spanning Tree Protocol responds the moment a link failure occurs on either segment. Set LFS to ON for normal operations. Set LFS to OFF when installing cables or when testing the network connection.
