Figure 2 -- Dual Repeater Mode
In Dual Repeater mode, the module acts as a pair of repeaters.
Fiber Optic repeater between 100Base-FX ports SFP-based interfaces
Copper repeater between 10/100 Base-TX ports RJ-45 copper interfaces
The copper repeater can be used as a distance extender in a copper infrastructure to extend a
link beyond the 300 foot (100m) limit. Each RJ-45 interface supports speed and duplex
matching and automatic MDI/MDIX detection. LIN applies to this configuration, as well.
With LIN enabled, loss of link at a port receiver disables the transmitter of the paired port. There
is no beaconing on an inactive link in Dual Repeater mode.
