PoE Reset DSW
When set to ON, it will force the PSE output power on the copper port OFF when
the LINK state is lost on the fiber segment. By default, the DSW is set to OFF.
Force Mode for the PoE McBasic
The PoE McBasic includes a FORCE mode, DSW# 3. By default, this is set to OFF.
In the OFF configuration, the PoE McBasic is in an Selective Auto Negotiating mode.
The link partner must also be capable of performing the advertised speed and duplex.
If the FORCE DSW# 3 is set to ON the PoE McBasic is put into a selective advertise
Auto Negotiation state. The unit will only advertise 100 Mbps Full Duplex. This
allows the PoE McBasic to connect to a link partner that is to a FORCE 100 Mpbs Full
Duplex configuration.
Far End Fault (FEF)
Far End Fault is a troubleshooting feature for the fiber segment that is permanently
enabled. If one strand of fiber fails, the error is reported back down the other strand
of fiber in the form of an FEF signal. This will cause the PoE McBasic to turn OFF the
PoE power, if the PoE reset DSW #1 is set to ON.
