With the Link Fault Pass Through function enabled (optional with switch LFP), TP port and FX port of the same converter will inform each other the fault link status so that when one side of the link fails, the other side will force the link to shut down as soon as noticed. The procedure will be illustrated as shown below. If link fail happens on TP port (A), the FX port (A) sends non-idle pattern to notice the FX port (B). The FX port (B) then forces its TP port (B) to link failed aft

Chapter 3 Configuration In order to achieve the aim of effectively expanding a Fast Ethernet network, you can use the converter like the following examples: 1. Place two converters back to back between the following end devices. Note: You should use two MC100CM Media Converters or two MC110CS Media Converters, or one MC111CS and one MC112CS to expand your network. Error will occur when you use other ways. 2. Another effective application is to place one converter directly between
