OPERATION

Use the status LEDs to monitor multi-port media converter operation in the
network.
NOTE: Each 100BASE-TX/ 100BASE-FX media converter port is identified by
a number located just above the fiber connector(s) for that 100BASE-TX
/100BASE-FX port connection. The LEDs that apply to each 100BASE-TX or
100BASE-FX port connector(s) are located, when facing the multi-port media
converter, at the left of the connector(s) for that 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX
port connection.

Using LinkAlert™
The E-TX-FX-xx00 series multi-port media converter LinkAlert™ feature allows
each media converter port to pass 100BASE-TX-side link faults over the port link
to the 100BASE-FX side and to pass 100BASE-FX-side link faults over the port
link to the 100BASE-TX side.
If the port does not detect a good link on the 100BASE-TX side, the port disables
all transmission (including active-idle) on the 100BASE-FX side.
