Network topologies 3.3 Cascading two media converters Figure 3-4 Example of a standby coupling of two redundant rings Cascading two media converters You can connect two media converters of the same type in series, i.e. connect them to each other via the FO port. Both media converters must be operated in Transparent Link Mode for the cascade.
Page 15
Network topologies 3.3 Cascading two media converters Ethernet interface for devices that are electrically connected and the link is not established. This behavior cannot be influenced and occurs particularly when plants are switched on. Use the new SCALANCE XCM102 media converters with corresponding SFPs for such applications.
