The following table shows the function for each of the eight Dip switches

on 

FiberLinX

.  Refer to the section on each feature for specific configuration

information

.

Switches 1 & 2: Fiber Optic Type

These Dip switch settings are configured at the factory and should NOT

be changed in the field. 

Switches 3 & 4: Selecting Duplex Mode

Each 

data

port on 

FiberLinX 

can operate in either Half-Duplex (HDX) or

Full-Duplex (FDX) Mode.  (

NOTE:

The Twisted Pair 

management 

port is

ALWAYS Half-Duplex.

)  You will need to set the duplex mode of these ports

depending on the capabilities of the connected hardware.

FiberLinX

is shipped from the factory with HDX selected on each data port

(i.e., Dip switches 

3

and 

4

in the OFF position).  Select FDX for the fiber

data port by setting Dip switch 

3

to ON.  Select FDX for the twisted pair data

port by setting Dip switch 

4

to ON. 

Switches 5 & 6: SNMP Management Traffic

Although 

FiberLinX

provides a twisted pair port solely for management

traffic, you can configure

FiberLinX

to accept SNMP management traffic from

any of its three ports.  There are four different ways you can configure

FiberLinX

to accept (or not accept) SNMP management traffic.  Only one

source for SNMP management traffic can be active at any time, and only the

SNMP management traffic directed to the module’s IP address will be

accepted. 

FiberLinX

is configured at the factory to accept SNMP management traffic

from the twisted pair 

data 

port (i.e., Dip switch 

5

ON, Dip switch 

6

OFF).

You can change this setting by adjusting Dip switches 

5

and 

6

.  The

following table shows the switch settings for each configuration.
