Auto-Negotiation and MissingLink™ Hassle Free Support The MissingLink feature enables the fiber optic Allied Telesis Fast Ethernet media converters ports on the media converter to pass the ‘Link’ offer free technical support, ensuring trouble- status of their connections to each other. When free installation. the media converter detects a problem with one of the ports, such as the loss of connection to an end-node, the media converter shuts down the connection to the other port, thus notifying the node that the connection has been lost. * Compared to previous models Allied Telesis www.alliedtelesis.com MC10x series | Fast Ethernet Media Converters Ordering Information Launch Power (dBm) Receive Power (dBm) Port Type Cable Optical Min.
