1. Introduction The 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX media converter series provides a media conversion allowing high-speed integration of fiber optic and twisted-pair segments. With 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX support, the converters provide seamless translation between Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks. A complete set of LEDs allows for quick status verification.

1.4.3 Far End Fault Function The FX port is facilitated with this function, which conforms to IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-FX specifications. When the FX port detects a link failure on its receiving circuitry, it will send out an FEFI (Far End Fault Indication) signal to the remote connected device to indicate a remote fault is detected.
periodical status report. 1.4.6 Loop Back Test Function As illustrated in the following figure, the local MC starts a loop back test by pressing the loop back test button. It sends test frames from its FX port to the remote MC. The remote MC forwards the received test frames back to local MC from its FX port.

3. Optional Configuration Settings The media converter provides additional configuration settings which are user-inaccessible. The settings are built on the board inside the prod-uct case. The settings are provided for technical installers to adapt the converter to fit some specific application needs. 3.1 User Inaccessible Jumpers The setting jumpers are not accessible by users generally.
without storing the received packet on one port then forwarding to another port. The media converter operates with the minimum latency. Note: In direct conversion, be sure both devices connected to the TP port and FX port have same duplex mode for proper transmission.
