LEDs and DIP-switches
The FlexMedia 1000BASE-T1 has two additional LEDs at the power connector side: a LED for IEEE(A2)
(yellow) near the DIP switch and a LED for Power status (green) near the Power connector.

The DIP-Switch ‘1’ configures the 1000BASE-T1 interface – it changes between Master or Slave function. If
the switch is up the transceiver is configured as Slave, if the switch is down it is configured as Master.
The DIP-Switch ‘2’ configures the bitrate of
both
ethernet interfaces. If the switch is down, the converter is
configured in 1000MBit/s mode (1GBit/s), if the switch is up it is configured in 100MBit/s mode.
NOTICE
It is not possible to convert between 100MBit/s and 1000MBit/s.
