4. Link Fault Pass Through (LFP)
The LFP function includes the Link-Fault-Passthrough function (LLCF/LLR) and the DIP Switch design. LLCF/
LLR can immediately alarm administrators the problem of the link media and provide efficient solution to
monitor the network. The DIP Switch will disable or enable the LFP function.
LLCF (Link Loss Carry Forward) means when a device connected to the converter and the TP line loss the
link, the converter’s fiber will disconnect the link of transmit. LLR (Link Loss Return) means when a device
connected to the converter and the fiber line loss the link, the converter’s fiber will disconnect the link of
transmit.
Note
LFP function is ON by default setting. If you are familiar with the network installation
and for diagnostic purpose (i.e. check which end is broken), you can turn it off and reset
the converter to make it take effect. Otherwise, please remain it in the default position.
5. Installing The Converter
To install FT-80x / GT-80x stand-alone, on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps:
Step 1: Turn off the power of the device/station in a network to which the FT-80x / GT-80x will be
attached.
Step 2: Attach fiber cable from the FT-80x / GT-80x to the fiber network. TX, RX must be paired at both
ends.
