Key in the current password and type in the new password twice, then click the “Apply” button. After applying settings, do not forget to save the configuration under the ‘Tools’... -
Page 23: Converter Configuration
3.5.3 Converter Configuration The Converter configuration menu includes special features of Gigabit & Fast Ethernet media converter. All of these special functions will be explained on the following two pages. Select the proper radio buttons and then click the “Apply” button. Remember to save settings under the “Tools”... - Page 24 This converter is capable of supporting Jumbo Frames (9k byte packets) when this option is enabled. Note that in order to support jumbo frames, the TP speed and duplex must match the FX. Jumbo Frames are not typically used on a normal network, since most devices are not able to handle them and they would be truncated.
- Page 25 Management Packet High Priority is a function which is enabled by default. Unless VLAN is enabled, this function is meaningless. The packet priority is included as 3 bit priority in the VLAN tag. Management packets will be assigned the highest priority so that even in the presence of high traffic throughput, this converter can still be easily managed.
-
Page 26: Port Configuration
3.5.4 Port Configuration This screen is for the configuration of the electrical Ethernet port (TP) and the optical port (FX). Both the TP and FX Port Active are enabled by default. If a port is disabled, all transmission through this port will be stopped. The device’s LAN or Fiber Link LED will be extinguished if the port is made inactive. -
Page 27: Mib Counters
3.5.5 MIB Counters The counters have an accumulation of received bytes and packets for each port (UTP, Fiber and Management). The distribution of those packets is further delineated into packet types (Unicast, Multicast, Broadcast) and packet sizes. Also counted are illegal packets and dropped events. -

3.5.6 VLAN 3.5.6.1 VLAN Group... -
Page 29: Vlan Per Port Configuration
By default, this device is VLAN unaware, making it completely transparent to VLAN tags. In most application, this device only acts as a media converter and therefore the device should be transparent. This device does support up to 16 VLAN groups. By using the check boxes for each port, the ingress access to different VIDs can be controlled here for TP, FX and management. -
Page 30: Management Vlan Setting
3.5.7 Management VLAN Setting This function is independent of any other VLAN group or per port settings. The settings here provide a very quick method to configure how access to management is controlled. There are three control 'states' defined as follows: Disable: This means that the "access control"... -
Page 31: Remote Settings
3.6 Remote Settings When 802.3ah is active in both the local and remote unit (with fiber connection), the in-band management provides an embedded channel to control and configure the remote by using OAM (layer 2) Ethernet packets. The same settings available to the local unit are available under the Remote Setting menu, with the exception of password setting. -
Page 32: 802.3Ah Configuration
3.7.1 802.3ah Configuration To use the OAM functions, the 802.3ah Function setting must be enabled. It is not enabled by default. The 802.3ah mode is used to configure an OAM pair. In a pair, one unit must be ‘active’, while the other must be ‘passive’. We typically place the remote converter (CPE) in ‘passive’... - Page 33 * Error Frame Period (error frames per n frames): The number of frame errors within the last n frames has exceeded a threshold. * Error Frame Seconds Summary (error seconds per m seconds): The number of error seconds (1-second intervals with at least one frame error) within the last m seconds has exceeded a threshold.

Page 34: Loop Back Test
The unidirectional support indicates whether or not the device supports the transmission of OAMPDUs on links that operate in unidirectional mode. Use the radio button to enable Unidirection Support if it is capable of sending OAMPDUs when the receive path is non- operational. -
Page 35: 802.3Ah Status
3.7.3 802.3ah Status... - Page 36 The Global Config fields display the state of OAM, if OAM is enabled. We can also see the MAC addresses of the local and remote units in the OAM manageable pair. The Flags Field list the results of individual events based on the results of OAM protocol data units (OAMPDUs). Lastly, when two OAM devices start negotiation, there is Discovery Information passed between them.
- Page 37 One of the most critical problems in an access network for carriers is differentiating between a simple power failure at the customer premise and an equipment or facility failure. Dying gasp provides this information by having a station indicate to the network that it is having a power failure.
