Fiber Negotiation (Switch 1)
Switch Position
Mode
Up (default) Auto
Down Off
Auto: In this mode of operation the media converter will negotiate
fiber parameters on both MM1 and MM2/SM2 (fiber ports). This
will ensure the most optimal connection parameters will be in
effect. If connecting to another Perle Media Converter, this
parameter should be set to Auto.
Off: Fiber negotiation on both fiber ports will be disabled. Fiber
Negotiation should only be turned off, if the fiber link partner does
not support fiber link negotiations.
Link Mode (Switch 2)
Switch Position
Mode
Up (default) Smart Link Pass-Through Mode
Down Standard Mode
Smart Link Pass-Through: In this mode, the link state on one
connection is directly reflected through the media converter to the
other connection. If fiber link is lost on one of the connections,
then the other fiber link will be brought down by the media
converter.
Standard Mode: In this mode, the links can be brought up and
down independently of each other. A loss of link on either fiber
connection can occur without affecting the other fiber connection
