  • Page 11: Operation

    Far End Fault Congestion Reduction The M/E-PSW-FX-02 media converters do not forward collision signals or error packets from one collision domain to another, resulting in improvements in baseline network performance. In addition, the media converter filters packets destined for local devices, which reduces network congestion.

    TX copper Fast Ethernet, and one (1)100Base-FX fiber Fast Ethernet collision domain: • In a half-duplex Ethernet or Fast Ethernet environment, the M/E-PSW-FX-02 media converters extend network distances by segmenting collision domains so that the 512-Bit Rule applies separately to each collision domain.
  • Page 13: Far-End Fault

    Lantronix M/E-PSW-FX-02 User Guide Far-End Fault When a fault occurs on an incoming fiber link (1), the media converter transmits a Far-End Fault signal on the outgoing fiber link (2). In addition, the Far-End Fault signal also activates the Link Pass-Through, which in turn, disables the link on the copper portion of the network (3) and (4).
