Auto-Negotiation (802.3ab) |
The media converter supports auto negotiation. The 1000Base-X fiber interface negotiates according to 802.3 clause 37. The 1000Base-T negotiates according to 802.3 clause 28 and 40. The 1000Base-X will link up with its partner after the highest common denominator (HCD) is reached and the copper has linked up with its partner. The 1000Base-X will continue to cycle through negotiation transmitting a remote fault of offline (provided this is enabled through the switch setting) until the copper is linked up and the HCDs match. The media converter supports auto-negotiation of full duplex, half duplex, remote fault, full duplex pause, asymmetric pause and Auto MDI-X. |
Auto-MDIX with Skew Correction |
Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling on the 1000Base-T interface to determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and automatically configures the connection when enabled. The media converter can also correct for wires swapped within a pair. The media converter will adjust for up to 64ns of delay skew between the 1000Base-T pairs. |
Smart Link Pass-Through |
When the Link Mode switch is placed into Smart Link Pass-Through mode, the 1000Base-T port will reflect the state of the 1000Base-X media converter port. This feature can be used whether fiber auto-negotiation is enabled or disabled. |
Fiber Fault Alert |
With Fiber Fault Alert the state of the 1000Base-X receiver is passed to the 1000Base-X transmitter. This provides fault notification to the partner device attached to the 1000Base-X interface of the media converter. If the 1000Base-X transmitter is off as a result of this fault it will be turned on periodically to allow the condition to clear should the partner device on the 1000Base-X be using a similar technique. This eliminates the possibility of lockouts that occur with some media converters. Applies only when fiber auto-negotiation is disabled. |
Pause (IEEE 802.3x) | 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 1000Base-T fiber connection and 1000Base-X fiber connection. Select Symmetrical, asymmetrical TX or asymmetrical RX |
Duplex | Full and half duplex operation supported. |
Jumbo Packets | Transparent to jumbo packets up to 10KB-default. Jumbo packet support can be disabled. |
VLAN | Transparent to VLAN tagged packets. Default Jumbo packet can be disabled. |
Remote Loopback | Capable of performing a loopback on the 1000Base-X fiber interface. |

Media Converter Module Indicators
Power / TST
This green LED is turned on when power is applied to the media converter. Otherwise it is off. The LED will blink when in Loopback test mode.
Fiber link on / Receive activity (LKF)
This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the 1000Base-X link is on and flashes with a 50% duty cycle when data is received. The LED will slow blink when the 1000Base-X interface has been taken down as a result of a fault on the 1000Base-T interface.
Copper link on / Receive activity (LKC)
This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the 1000Base-T link is on and flashes with a 50% duty cycle when data is received. The LED will slow blink when the 1000Base-T interface has been taken down as a result of a fault on the 1000Base-T interface.

Auto-Negotiation
- Enabled (Default - Up) - The media converter uses 802.3u Auto-negotiation on the 10/100/1000Base-T interface. It is set to advertise full duplex, half duplex, pause and remote fault capabilities.
- Disabled - The media converter sets the port according to the position of the speed and duplex switches.
Link Mode
Link Mode provides a transparency to the state of the copper link allowing for simplified trouble shooting from the devices connected to the media converter.
Normal (Default - Up)
With Fiber Auto Negotiation enabled when the copper link goes down the 1000Base-X link is brought down. The 1000Base-X link will advertise Remote Fault (Link Fault).
With Fiber Auto Negotiation disabled the state of the copper link has no effect on the 1000Base-X link.
Smart Link Pass Through (Down)
With Fiber Auto Negotiation enabled the behavior is as follows. When the copper link goes down the 1000Base-X link is brought down. The 1000Base-X link will advertise Remote Fault (Link Fault). When Remote Fault (Link Fault) is received on the 1000Base-X interface the copper transmitter will be turned off. When the copper receiver is off the 1000Base-X transmitter will be turned off. When the 1000Base-X receiver goes off the copper transmitter will be turned off.
With Fiber Auto-Negotiation disabled the behavior is as follows. When the copper receiver is off the 1000Base-X transmitter will be turned off. When the 1000Base-X receiver goes off the copper transmitter will be turned off.
Pause
When Fiber Auto Negotiation is disabled Pause should only be enabled when all devices connected to the media converter support pause.
- Enabled (Default) - The Media converter will advertise Pause capable, Asymmetric pause not needed during Auto-Negotiation.
- Disabled - The Media converter will advertise that it does not have Pause capability during Auto-Negotiation.
Fiber Fault Alert
The Fiber Fault Alert switch has meaning when Auto-Negotiation is disabled
- Enabled (Default - Up) - When the 1000Base-X receiver is off the 1000Base-X transmitter is turned off. Periodically the 1000Base-X receiver will be turned on for a short period to allow the condition to clear if the 1000Base-X link partner is using a similar feature.
- Disabled (Down)
Duplex
- Full (Default-Up) - The media converter will advertise Full Duplex Capable, Half Duplex Capable.
- AUTO (Down) - The media converter will advertise Full Duplex Not Capable, Half Duplex Capable.
Remote Loopback
The media converter can perform a loopback on the 1000Base-X fiber interface.
(Default - Up)
Enabled - The 1000Base-X receiver is looped to the 1000Base-X transmitter. The copper transmitter is taken off the interface.

Managed Ethernet to Fiber Links
Manage your copper to fiber link with a Managed Standalone Media Converter. Ideal for use in managed networks with low density fiber applications. A Managed Standalone Media Converter is connected across a fiber link to a remote media converter. The copper and fiber link on the managed standalone unit can provide vital information and status to network management tools such as SNMP.
Extend between two TP Gigabit Switches
Two Gigabit Ethernet Media Converters can extend the distance between 1000Base-T Switches across a fiber link up to 120km in length.
Switch to Gigabit Server
Two Gigabit Ethernet Media Converters can extend the distance between a 1000Base-T Switch and a Gigabit File Server across a fiber link up to 120km in length.
Gigabit Mode-Conditioning Adapters - More Distance
Gigabit across 62.5 micron MMF cable is normally limited to 275 meters. By adding mode-conditioning adapters and 1000baseLX media converters you can extend the distance up to 550 meters on MMF cable plant.
Gigabit Mode-Conditioning Adapters – 1000Base-LX
Using mode-conditioning adapters and a 1000Base-LX media converter, connect a copper based Gigabit Switch with a remote 1000base-LX switch/router over existing multimode cable plant.
