Link Loss Return (LLR)
The fiber ports of FTP-80X have been designed with an LLR
function for troubleshooting a remote connection. LLR works in
conjunction with LLCF.
When LFP function is enabled, the port’s transmitter shuts down
when its receiver fails to detect a valid receive link. LLR should
only be enabled on one end of the link and is typically enabled
on either the unmanaged or remote device.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with
a good link status using FTP-80X for remote connectivity. Note
that LLR and LLCF are enabled as indicated in the diagram.
