Enhanced 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Converter 

NWay DIP Switch Setting 

Use the NWay DIP switch to activate NWay 
operations. 
 
Factory NWay DIP switch default set to ON position. 
Check that the networking device to be connected to 
the Converter has NWay support.  
If 

YES

:  Check that the NWay DIP switch is set to the 

ON position. The Converter will automatically 
set the optimum speed and duplex mode on 
the copper segment. Users can skip the 
settings for DIP switches 2 and 3, when NWay 
is activated. 

If 

NO

:   Set the NWay DIP switch to the OFF position.  

Then Use 

DIP

 

switch 2

 to manually select 

between half (HD) and full duplex (FD) modes. 
Use 

DIP

 

switch 3

 to manually select between 

10Mbps or 100Mbps speeds. Set NWay 
switch to OFF position when connecting to an 
auto-sensing device that only supports 
10/100Mbps detection. Some early switch 
models only support auto-sensing of speed, 
and NOT auto detection of speed and duplex 
mode (auto-negotiation). 

  

 

Important 

In order to configure DIP switches 2 (duplex 
mode) and 3 (speed), you must set DIP 
switch 1 (NWay) to the OFF position
