Fiber Fault Alert (Switch 3)
Switch Position Fiber Port
Up (default) Enabled
Down Disabled
Enabled: If the media converter detects a loss of signal on the
fiber receiver, it will immediately disable its fiber transmitter signal
on the same port. This, in effect, notifies the fiber link partner that
an error condition exists on the fiber connection.
If the remote media converter is set up for Fiber Fault Alert (FFA)
and the local media converter is set up with Link Pass-Through, a
loss of fiber link will be passed through to the local copper
connection thus notifying the connected device.
If the media converter has been set to Smart Link Pass-Through
mode, the effect will be the same as FFA, since the link loss on
the fiber receiver will result in bringing down the copper link, which
will in turn cause the transmit fiber link to be brought down.
Note: This feature only takes effect if Fiber Negotiation has been
turned off.
Disabled: The media converter will not monitor for or generate
Fiber Fault Alert.
