If one of the optical conductors is down (as shown in the
diagram box below), the converter with LLR function will return
a no-link condition to its link partner. With LLCF function also
enabled, the no-link condition is carried forward to the switch/
hub where a trap is generated to the management station, and
the administrator can then determine the source of the loss.

Note
LFP function is turned off by default. This feature
can also be turned on via the DIP-switch. If
you are familiar with the network installation
and for diagnostic purpose (i.e. check which
end is broken), you can turn it on and reset the
converter to make it effective. Otherwise, please
put it in the default position.
