About DP83849IF,

We have a question;

Does the device have a Link-Pass-Through feature for loss of link in the Extender/Media Converter mode?

(We couldn't find the description in the datasheet.)

Thanks in advance.

Takishin,

The DP83849 does not automatically support the link pass through functionality you describe. This functionality would need to be performed via register access. The loss of link would need to be identified via interrupt or via register polling. Then the device register configuration would need to be changed to use the other port for communications.
