Perle 10/100 Media Converter Module – Installation Guide 14
Other Features
Auto-MDIX:
Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover)
detects the signalling on the 10/100BASE-T interface to determine
the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and
automatically configures the connection.
Error Recovery:
In certain configurations, and under specific conditions where the
Media Converter Module brings down a link to convey status, there is
potential for a deadlock. Recovery is achieved by momentarily
restoring the link to see if the original failure has been resolved. If it
has not, the link will be forced down again, however if the original
problem has been resolved, the link will be restored.
Pause (IEEE 802.3xy):
Integrated Pause signalling is an IEEE feature that temporarily
suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that
one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. The Perle Media
Converter Module can generate and respond to Pause messages.
