SMI-100 Managed Fast Ethernet Media Converter Features

Configuration Mode selection Select whether to use the on-board DIP switches or the management software for mode selection
Auto / MDIX Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling on the 100Base-TX interface to determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and automatically configures the connection when enabled. With Auto-MDIX enabled, either a straight-through or crossover type cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the other end of the cable. Can manually set Auto or MDIX on the copper port via on-board strap or via the management software

Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) The media converter supports auto negotiation on the fast ethernet 100Base-TX interface.
Link Pass-Through With Link Pass-Through the state of the 100Base-TX receiver is passed to the 100Base-FX transmitter to make the media converter appear transparent to the end devices that are connected. In addition if Far-End Fault is enabled the media converter can turn off the 100Base-TX transmitter when a FAR-End Fault is received. 

Using Link Pass-Through with Far-End Fault minimizes data loss when a fault occurs. Should a fault occur, the end devices have the indication of a failure available to them making trouble shooting easier.
Far-End Fault (FEF) The media converter implements the 802.3 standard for Far-End Fault for the indication and detection of remote fault conditions on the 100Base-FX fiber connection. With Far-End Fault enabled the media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication over the 100Base-FX fiber connection whenever a receive failure is detected on the 100Base-FX fiber connection. The media converter continuously monitors the100Base-FX fiber connection for a valid signal. 

The action the media converter takes on receiving a Far-End Fault Indication is dependent on the Link Pass Through switch setting.
Pause (IEEE 802.3xy) 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 fast ethernet media converter supports pause negotiation on the 100Base-TX copper connection.
VLAN The media converter is transparent to VLAN tagged packets.

Switches: On-Board (If Auto/Switch strap is set to Switch)
Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) Enabled (Default) - The media converter uses 802.3u Auto-negotiation on the 100Base-TX interface. It is set to advertise full duplex.

Disabled - The media converter sets the 100Base-TX port to full duplex.
Pause Pause should be enabled when all devices connected to the media converter support pause. Auto-Negotiation must be Enabled to use this feature.

Enabled (Default) - The Media converter will advertise Pause capability during Auto-Negotiation on the 100Base-TX interface.

Disabled - The Media converter will advertise that it does not have Pause capability during Auto-Negotiation on the 100Base-TX interface.
Link Pass Through Enabled (Default) - When the state of the receiver is changed on the 100Base-TX interface it is reflected on the 100Base-FX fiber transmitter. When the state of the receiver on the 100Base-FX interface is changed it is reflected on the 100Base-TX transmitter.

When a Far-End Fault Indication is received on the fiber interface the 100Base-TX transmitter is turned off. When the Far-End Fault Indication is cleared the transmitter is turned back on.

Disabled - The 100Base-TX and the 100Base-FX fiber interface operate independently. Far-End Fault indication on the 100Base-FX fiber interface has no effect on the 100Base-TX interface.
Far-End Fault (FEF) Enabled (Default) - The media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication over the 100Base-FX fiber connection whenever a receive failure is detected on the 100Base-FX fiber connection. The media converter continuously monitors the100Base-X fiber connection and clears the Far-End Fault Indication condition when a valid signal is received.

Disabled - Far-End Fault Indications are not transmitted regardless of the condition of the receive signal on the 100Base-FX fiber connection.
Remote Loopback The media converter can perform a loopback on the 100Base-X fiber interface.

Disabled (Default - Up)

Enabled - The 100Base-X receiver is looped to the 100Base-X transmitter. The 100Base-TX transmitter is taken off the interface.
Auto-MDIX (Strap) If Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) is enabled, the media converter uses the HP Auto-MDIX method for the 100Base-TX interface. If Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) is disabled the Media converter will use the RX Energy method on the 100Base-TX interface to set the port MDI or MDIX whichever is appropriate.

Enabled (Default) - Either a straight-through or crossover type cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the other end of the cable.

Disabled - If the partner device on the other end of the cable does not have the Auto-MDIX feature a specific cable, either a straight-through or crossover will be required to ensure that the media convertor's transmitter and the partner devices transmitter are connected to the others receiver. The Media Convertor's 100Base-TX port is configured as MDI with this switch setting.
Configuration Mode (Strap) Auto (default) enable management module to overwrite hardware switch settings
