will cause them to lock up when a fault occurs on the fiber. Only enable FiberAlert on the
remote module.

Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT)

Link Fault Pass Through is a troubleshooting feature that combines TX and FX
LinkLoss from both the local and remote modules. LFPT is enabled by turning on
both FX and TX LinkLoss on both modules. This feature allows either end of the
conversion to detect a link fault occurring at the other end of the media conversion
chain.

Regardless whether a break occurs on a copper or fiber segment between the End
device and the media converter, or between the two media converters, End devices
at both ends.

Regardless if there is a break in segment 1, 2 or 3, the link will drop on the switches
at both ends.

The link fault is passed through the media conversion and is observed at each end. It
acts just like it would if the devices were directly connected.

NOTE

FiberAlert can also be added to the remote side of the pair to further assist in locating a

fault.

Last Gasp

NOTE

The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II does not support Last Gasp, as the present hardware design

cannot provide that feature.
