If someone tells you media conversion is a

commodity product that anyone can bring

to market, they probably haven't looked at

the extensive product suite offered by

Transition Networks. With the industry's

most comprehensive offering of full-

featured products, Transition's media

converters stand out as "the choice" among

industry IT professionals.

Generally, media converters are low-level

OSI model devices with no IP or MAC

addresses and therefore are transparent to

the network. This "transparency" makes

them very inexpensive and easy to use, but

also can make troubleshooting the network

very difficult. In an effort to overcome this

difficulty and to make media converters

"visible" to network managers, Transition

has designed their full-featured products to

include the most advanced features on the

market today.



Eliminates an entire category of troubleshooting



No need to identify cable type—straight-through or crossover



No user intervention required to determine correct button / switch settings

Auto-Negotiation allows devices to perform automatic configuration to achieve the best
possible mode of operation over a link. Devices with this feature will broadcast their
speed (10Mbps, 100Mbps, etc.) and duplex (half/full) capabilities to other devices and
negotiate the best mode of operation between the two devices.

While the inclusion of this feature is beneficial, the ability to disable it is equally
beneficial. In the event of a non-negotiating end device trying to connect to a
negotiating device, the mode of operation will drop to the least common denominator
between the two devices (i.e. 100Mbps, half-duplex). Disabling this feature gives the
user the ability to force the connection to the best mode of operation when trying to
link with a non-negotiating device. Most Transition converters with Auto-Negotiation
will allow you to disable this feature.





Optimal link established automatically



Quick and easy installation



No user intervention required to determine best mode of operation

Transition Networks's converters will automatically re-establish link in all network
conditions.

Transition Networks's converters will automatically re-establish link when connected to
switches if link was lost. With other manufacturers' converters the user must reset the
converter to re-establish the link.

Automatic Link Restoration allows the users to continue using Auto-Negotiation with
Link Loss Notification features. With other manufacturers' converters the user must
disable Auto-Negotiation and hard set the link.

Automatic Link Restoration on Transition Networks's products allows users to continue
using Link Loss Notification feature activated in both directions. Many competitive
solutions allow for Link Loss Notification activation only in one direction. If Link Loss
feature is activated in both directions, competitive products are put in a "deadly
embrace" and they cannot restore the link without resetting the converters.



No need to reset devices



Auto-Negotiation Enabled



Link Pass Through Activated in both directions
