LinkLoss and FiberAlert
The McPC 100Mbps includes the troubleshooting features FiberAlert, TXLL, and FXLL

WARNING
Installing modules without understanding the effects of LinkLoss and FiberAlert can cause
functioning units to appear flawed or even nonfunctional.
Link Integrity
During normal operation, link integrity pulses are transmitted by all point-to-point
Ethernet devices. When an IMC Networks media converter receives valid link pulses,
it knows that the device to which it is connected is up and sending pulses, and that
the copper or fiber cable coming from that device is intact. The appropriate “LNK”
(link) LED is lit to indicate this.
