Abstract
Disclosed are a device and method of powering down an optical transceiver coupled to an optical transmission medium. A data transceiver may be coupled to transmit data between the optical transceiver and a media independent interface (MII). The data transceiver comprises logic to power down at least a portion of the optical transceiver in response to detection of a power down condition.
Claims32
An apparatus comprising:
- an optical transceiver adapted to transmit data in or receive data from an optical transmission medium;
- and
- a data transceiver coupled to transmit data between the optical transceiver and a media independent interface (MII), the data transceiver comprising logic to power down at least a portion of the optical transceiver in response to detection of a power down condition.
A system comprising:
- a processing system;
- and
- a communication adapter coupled to the processing system, the communication adapter comprising:
- an optical transceiver adapted to transmit data in or receive data from an optical transmission medium;
- and
- a data transceiver coupled to transmit data between the optical transceiver and a media independent interface (MII), the data transceiver comprising logic to power down at least a portion of the optical transceiver in response to detection of a power down condition at the processing system.
