Perle SMI-100-S1SC40U Fast Ethernet Standalone IP Managed Media Converter

Description

    • Link pass-through. With link pass-through the state of the 100Base-TX receiver is passed to the 100Base-FX transmitter to make the media converter appear transparent to the end devices that are connected. In addition if Far-End Fault is enabled the media converter can turn off the 100Base-TX transmitter when a Far-End Fault is received. Using link pass-through with Far-End Fault minimizes data loss when a fault occurs. Should a fault occur, the end devices have the indication of a failure available to them making trouble shooting easier.
    • Pause (IEEE 802.3xy). Pause signaling is an IEEE feature that temporarily suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that one of the devices becomes overwhelmed.
    • Auto-MDIX. Auto-MDIX detects the signaling on the 100Base-TX interface to determine the type of cable connected and automatically configures the connection when enabled. With auto-MDIX enabled, either a straight-through or crossover type cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the other end of the cable.
    • Far-End Fault (FEF). The media converter implements the 802.3 standard for Far-End Fault for the indication and detection of remote fault conditions on the 100Base-FX fiber connection. With Far-End Fault enabled the media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication over the 100Base-FX fiber connection whenever a receive failure is detected on the 100Base-FX fiber connection. The media converter continuously monitors the 100Base-FX fiber connection for a valid signal.
