2.10 Configuring IP Address and Password for the Device For managed model, the device unit is shipped with the following factory default settings for software management: Default IP address of the device: 192.168.0.2 / 255.255.255.0 The IP Address is an identification of the device unit in a TCP/IP network. Each unit should be designated a new and unique IP address in the network.
3. Functions To help a better understanding about the software management interfaces, this chapter describes some advanced functions provided by the media converter. 3.1 Abbreviation TP Port: The twisted-pair copper port of the media converter device. FX Port: The optical fiber port of the media converter device. Ingress Port: Ingress port is the input port on which a packet is received.
3.3 Link Fault Pass Through Function When the Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT) function is enabled and the media converter detects a link fault on one port segment, it will force the other port segment link down. It looks like that a link fault is passed from one port to the other.
3.4 Remote TP Status Monitoring Function The local media converter can monitor the TP port link status of its remote link partner connected on the fiber cable. The status is displayed on the local LED indicators as follows: Methods to enable the function Hardware setting: DIP SW5 is set to ON position Software setting:...
3.5 802.1Q Control Function 802.1Q Control function allows perform 802.1Q VLAN related operation to the packets passing through the media converter according packet contents as follows: [Ingress Drop] setting The setting is the first filtering mechanism to filter incoming packets based on frame types. The options are: Disable - disable port ingress drop and admit all packet types...

3.6 SNMP Trap Function SNMP trap function allows the device to send trap message to an SNMP trap host over SNMP protocol when the associated trap event occurs. SNMP Trap settings The settings are used to configure a trap host who can receive the SNMP trap message issued from a media converter device unit.
4. Web Management The media converter features an http server which can serve the management requests coming from any web browser software over TCP/IP network. Set IP Address for the System Unit Before the device unit can be managed from a web browser software, make sure a unique IP address is configured for the unit.
