Sr-100-Sc120 Media Converter

Disabled (Default-Up): The loopback feature is disabled. This is the normal position for regular operation. The switch must be set to this position for data to pass through the media converter; Enabled: This is a test mode. All data received on the receive (RX) fiber connection is looped back to the transmit (TX) fiber connection. The state of the copper is not relevant and no data or link status is passed through to the copper side.

Auto (Default - Up): In this mode of operation the media converter will negotiate Ethernet parameters on the copper connection. This will ensure the most optimal connection parameters will be in effect. If the copper link partner does not support Auto negotiation, the media converter will default to 100 Mbps and Half Duplex mode; Off: Auto Negotiation should only be turned off, if the copper link partner does not support Auto Negotiation. When the Auto Negotiation switch is set to the OFF position, the media converter will operate at 100 Mbps and Full Duplex mode.

Smart Link Pass-Through (Default - Up): In this mode, the link state on one connection is directly reflected through the media converter to the other connection. If link is lost on one of the connections, then the other link will be brought down by the media converter. If the installation has a media converter on both ends of the fiber link and both are setup for Link Pass-Through, then a loss of copper link on the far end device will propagate through both media converters and will result in a loss of copper link at the near end device. This would, therefore, resemble a direct copper connection; Standard Mode (Down): In this mode, the links on the fiber and copper sides can be brought up and down independently of each other. A loss of link on either the fiber ports or copper ports can take place without affecting the other connection
