1.4 Special Functions
Auto MDI/MDI-X Function
This function allows the TP port to auto-detect the twisted-pair signals and adapts itself to form a valid MDI to
MDI-X connection with the remote connected device automatically.
Auto-negotiation Function
The copper port is featured with auto-negotiation function and full capability in speed and duplex. It performs a
negotiation process for the speed and duplex configuration with the connected device automatically when each
time a link is being established.
Far End Fault Function
The FX port is facilitated with this function that conforms to IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-FX specifications. When
the FX port detects a link failure on its receiving circuitry, it will send out an FEFI (Far End Fault Indication)
signal to the remote connected device to indicate a remote fault is detected. It also is capable to receive FEFI
signal sent from the remote link partner. Upon receiving an FEFI signal, it notes a link failure occurred on the
transmitting path. This function allows the converter to report a fiber link fault even when a link failure
occurred on transmitting fiber cable.
