If one of the optical conductors is bad (as shown in the diagram
box below), the converter with LLR function will return a no-link
condition to its link partner. With LLCF function also enabled,
the no-link condition is carried forward to the switch/hub
where a trap is generated to the management station, and the
administrator can then determine the source of the loss.

Note
LFP function is turn-off in default. This feature
can also be turned on via the side DIP-switch.
If you are not familiar with the network installa-
tion and for diagnostic purpose (i.e. check which
end is broken), you can turn it on and reset the
converter to make it take effect. Otherwise, please
remain it in the default position.
