Page 29: Full / Half-Duplex Capability
The Magnum FT14 Media Converters, regular, non-hardened models, come without the Link Pass-through feature unless it is specially ordered with the “LP” model. In this regard, the FT14 models operate the same as the smaller companion product, the Magnum TF14. - Page 30 SNMP agent, can troubleshoot the cabling by examining the LINK status on each port. This works fine as long as all of the cabling is twisted pair. When a twisted-pair to fiber media converter is introduced, the FT14 regular models of these products (not the Magnum FT14H’s) treat each attached cable segment as a separate entity.
- Page 31 The Link-Pass-through in the FT14H models provides the LINK “see-through” feature desired for managed networks. On the FT14H models, either both LINK LEDs are lit or neither is lit. And, the FT14 and FT14H’s both operate in transparent half- and full-duplex mode.
