an 8-position DIP switch for configuring the unit.
This switch is accessed through a cut-out in the
bottom of the unit. After configuring the switch,

10/100 Autosensing Media Converter Modes of Operation
The 10/100 Autosensing Media Converter features three “modes” of
operation: Auto-Negotiation/PNP mode, Force 10 mode and Force 100
mode. Your media converter should be configured for one of these modes
(factory default is AN/PNP mode). For information on Link Fault Detection,
refer to pages 3-5.
Auto-Negotiation mode, also known as PNP, is the mode most ideally
suited for the 10/100 Autosensing Media Converter. In this mode, the
converter will optimally and automatically configure for speed (10 or
100 Mbps) depending on the capabilities of the end stations.
To enable Auto-Negotiation/PNP mode, set switch S6
to the ON
position, with switches S7 and S8 in the OFF position.
•In Force 10 mode, the media converter converts 10Base-T to
10Base-FL; 100 Mbps signals are not accepted.
To enable Force 10 mode, set switch S7
and S8 to the ON
position, with switch S6 in the OFF position.

OTE
10/100 Autosensing Media Converter cannot be manually set for Half- or Full-Duplex.
Duplex is determined by the devices to which your media converter is connected.
4) Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective
dust caps.
5) If you suspect that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between
blasting with clean, dry, compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove
particles of dirt
