Product Features
Auto-Negotiation
The Auto-Negotiation feature brings up the copper links in the highest speed
and mode possible for all the attached network devices.
NOTE: The E-100BTX-FX-05(10x) series Media Converter does NOT support
rate conversion between 10Mb/s, 100Mb/s, and 1000Mb/s network devices.
Pause Control Frame
The Pause Control Frame feature can improve network performance by
allowing one end of the link to signal the other to discontinue frame
transmission for a set period of time to relieve buffer congestion.
NOTE: If the Pause Control feature is present on ALL network devices
attached to the Media Converter(s), enable the Pause Control feature on the
Media Converter(s). Otherwise, disable the Pause Control feature (see page 2).

Link Pass-Through
When the Link Pass-Through feature is activated (see page 2), a fault on one
side of the Media Converter stops the signal and data transmission on the
other side of the Media Converter. If the Media Converter does not detect a
good link on the copper side, the Media Converter disables all transmission
(including active-idle) on the fiber side.
Far-End Fault
When the Far-End Fault feature is activated (see page 2), a fault on an
incoming fiber link causes the Media Converter to transmit a Far-End Fault
signal on the outgoing fiber link. In addition the Far-End Fault signal also
activates the Link Pass-Through, which, in turn, disables the link on the
copper portion of the network.
