Auto: In this mode of operation the Media Converter will negotiate Ethernet parameters on both the copper and the fiber connection. This will ensure the most optimal connection parameters will be in effect. If connecting to another Perle Gigabit Media Converter, this parameter should be set to Auto.
Off: Fiber Negotiation should only be turned off, if the fiber link partner does not support fiber link negotiations.
When the Fiber Negotiation switch is set to the OFF position, the Media Converter Module will negotiate the Ethernet parameters with the copper link partner. The parameters used in this negotiation will be determined by the Duplex (switch 4) and Pause (switch 5) switch settings.
