Regardless if there is a break in segment 1, 2 or 3, the link will drop on the switches at both
ends. The link fault is passed through the media conversion and is observed at each end. It acts
just like it would if the devices were directly connected. Note that dropping link on the
supported copper port will disable the fiber port. This will in turn break the connection from the
other copper port to the fiber port.
LOW SPD SWITCH ON THE SFP VERSION
The SFP version of the Giga-McBasic-II supports a LOW SPD DIP Switch. If a gigabit SFP is
installed in the SFP port, by setting the switch to the ON position, it will force the SFP to
operate at 100Mbps. This DSW setting is only for the model offering a Fiber SFP port; it is not
available on models with fixed fiber ports.
