Unit software updates can be downloaded through TFTP and iConfig. Auto Negotiation, Duplex Mode and Speed The twisted pair port on the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II Auto Negotiates for speed and duplex mode. The optics port does not Auto Negotiate; it operates at 100 Mbps Full- Duplex. -
Page 9: Bandwidth Control
In this mode, the port automatically negotiates for speed and duplex. The twisted pair port on the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II can also be manually set for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps operation and for Half- or Full-Duplex (i.e. 10 Mbps Full-Duplex, 10 Mbps Half-Duplex, 100 Mbps Full-Duplex or 100 Mbps Half-Duplex). - Page 10 Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) is a troubleshooting feature that combines TX and FX LinkLoss from both the local and remote IE-MiniFiberLinX-II. LFPT is enabled by turning on both FX and TX LinkLoss on both modules. This feature allows either end of the conversion to detect a link fault occurring at the other end of the media conversion chain.
