| QOS ( Quality of Service ) |
- Bandwidth Allocation via rate limiting
- IEEE 802.1P tagged frame priority control
- IEEE 802.1P priority tag remapping
- IP TOS ( Type of Service ) priority for IPV4 Diffserv or IPV6 traffic class frames
- Congestion Service Policy through WQF ( Weighted Fair Queuing ) or Strict Priority Queuing ( default )
|
| VLAN Tagging |
- Default – Transparent to VLAN frames
- Enable discarding of tagged frames
- Enable discarding of untagged frames
- Untag – Removes any existing tag
- Insert Tag – Insert (if original
frame is untagged) or replace (if original frame is tagged) the VLAN ID
and priority with the configured default VLAN ID and priority tag.
- Insert Double tag (Q in Q) – Append an additional tag using the configured default VLAN ID and priority.
|
| Unknown Multicast Frame filtering |
When enabled, Multicast frames with an unknown destination address are not allowed to egress the port |
| Unknown Unicast Frame filtering |
When enabled, Unicast frames with an unknown destination address are not allowed to egress the port |
| Unidirectional Ethernet |
When enabled, provides the ability to
restrict port to one-way traffic flow. Used in applications such as
unidirectional video broadcasting as well as providing security for
ethernet connections in accessible public areas |
| Configuration Mode selection |
Select whether the module is to use the on-board DIP switches or enable the management module in the chassis to manage |
| Auto-MDIX |
Can manually set Auto or MDIX on the copper port via on-board strap or via the management card.
Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant
interface crossover) detects the signaling on the UTP interface to
determine the type of
cable connected (straight-through or
crossover) 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. |
| Module Information |
- Chassis slot number that the module is in
- Media converter model and serial number
- User configurable media converter module name
- User configurable fiber port name
- User configurable copper port name
- Hardware revision number
- Firmware version number

| Selectable Max Packet Size |
Set max packet size to 1522, 1518 or 2048 ( default ) |
| 10BaseT Extended Distance |
Normal/extended – default Normal. By
configuring as “extended”, the 10baseT receiver sensitivity is increased
providing the possibility of an 10BaseT connection greater than 100m. |
| Port Control |
Enable or disable individual fiber or copper port on the module |

- Reset to factory default
- Reset Statistical counters
- Phy specific commands such write/read config, read dip switches
- Update firmware
- Fiber Loopback mode. (On/Off)
- Upload/download configuration
|
| Backup and Restore |
Provides fast and easy module
replacement. Management module will always save a copy of the media
converter configuration and will restore this configuration
automatically to the media module when it is detected in the slot |
| Detailed port statistics |
To assist in troubleshooting copper
and fiber links, an extensive list of ingress and egress counters for
both copper and fiber ports are available. These statistics can be
viewed locally via the management module or from a central SNMP NMS on
the network |
| Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) |
The media converter supports auto negotiation
on the 10/100Base-TX interface. |
| Link Pass-Through |
With Link Pass-Through the state of the UTP
receiver is passed to the fiber 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 10/100Base-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. |
| 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-X fiber connection. With Far-End
Fault enabled the media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication
over the 100Base-X fiber connection whenever a receive failure is
detected on the 100Base-X fiber connection. The media converter
continuously monitors the100Base-X fiber connection for a valid signal.
The action the media converter takes on
receiving a Far-End Fault Indication is dependent on the Link
Pass-Through switch setting. |
| 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. The media converter supports pause
negotiation on the 10/100Base-TX copper connection. |
| Remote Loopback |
The media converter is capable of performing
a lookback on the fiber port. |
