The WGT-7 series smart Gigabit Ethernet Media Converters provide a DIP-switch for autonegotiation/ forced and LLR configuration with the LLCF function enabled by default. When LLCF (Link Loss Carry Forward) is enabled, the ports do not transmit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the opposite port. Link loss is "carried forward" to the managed switch or hub that is sending the link. LLCF can be used for either copper or fiber ports. When LLR (Link Loss Return) is enabled, the fiber port's transmitter shuts down if its receiver fails to detect a valid receive link. If one of the optical conductors is bad, the converter with LLR enabled will return a no link condition to its link partner. LLR is used to detect link problems only on the fiber port. Both can immediately alert administrators to problems with the link media, and provide an efficient solution for network monitoring.
