3.3.4 Jabber Processing
The 8829 Media Converter will transparently for-
ward excessively long transmissions of any length
which are received at the UTP port. However, pack-
ets received at the Fiber port which exceed ap-
proximately 100ms, will not be forwarded beyond
that point. If this occurs, the JAB indicator will
turn ON. Further data flow from the Receive Fi-
ber to the Transmit UTP will be blocked until there
has been no packet data received for approximately
one-half second. At this point, the 8829 Media
Converter 's Jabber circuitry will reset and the JAB
LED will be turned OFF.
If the original source DTE device continues to
jabber, its own internal Jabber Timer should even-
tually block its data flow, allowing the 8829 Me-
dia Converter to reset without manual interven-
tion.
