Omnitron Systems Technology 10/100M user manual 1.5 SW5 UTP Full/Half Duplex FDX/HDX

100Mbps “100” position (factory default) forces the UTP port to operate at 100Mbps. Setting this DIP-switch to UTP 10Mbps “10” position forces the UTP port to operate at 10Mbps. Adjust the “10/100” DIP-switch to match the speed of the connecting UTP device.

When the UTP “AN/Man” DIP-switch is in the auto-negotiate “AN” position and the UTP 10/100 DIP-switch is in the “100” position, the UTP port auto-negotiates to 100Mbps or 10Mbps. When in the “10” position, the UTP port only operates at 10Mbps. Refer to the table above for a detailed explanation.

3.2.1.5SW5 - UTP Full/Half Duplex “FDX/HDX”

When the UTP “AN/Man” DIP-switch is in the manual “Man” position, the UTP Full/Half-Duplex “FDX/HDX” DIP-switch determines the duplex operation mode of the UTP port. Setting the UTP Full/Half-Duplex DIP-switch to UTP Full-Duplex “FDX” position (factory default) forces the UTP port to operate in Full-Duplex. Setting this DIP-switch to UTP Half-Duplex “HDX” forces the UTP port to operate in Half-Duplex. Adjust the UTP Half/Full-Duplex DIP-switch to match the duplex mode of the connecting UTP device.

When the UTP “AN/Man” DIP-switch is in the auto-negotiate “AN” position, and the UTP Full/Half-Duplex DIP-switch is in the Full-Duplex “FDX” position, the UTP port auto-negotiates to Full or Half-Duplex. When in the Half-Duplex “HDX” position, the UTP port functions only in Half-Duplex for the speed selected. Refer to the table on the previous page for a detailed explanation.

3.2.1.6SW6, SW7, SW8 - Link Modes

These three DIP-switches configure the link mode settings. The following table details possible Link Mode DIP-switch configurations.

SW6	SW7	SW8	Result
Left	Left	Left	Enables Link Segment mode (LS).
Right	Left	Left	Enables Link Propagate mode (LP).
Left	Right	Left	Enables Remote Fault Detection mode plus
			Link Segment mode (RFD+LS).
Right	Right	Left	Enables Remote Fault Detection mode plus
			Link Propagation mode (RFD+LP).
Left	Left	Right	Enables Symmetrical Fault Detect mode (SFD).
Right	Left	Right	Illegal setting. LS mode is enabled.
Left	Right	Right	Illegal setting. LS mode is enabled.
Right	Right	Right	Illegal setting. LS mode is enabled.

SW6	SW7	SW8	Result
Down	Down	Down	Enables Link Segment mode (LS).
Up	Down	Down	Enables Link Propagate mode (LP).
Down	Up	Down	Enables Remote Fault Detection mode plus
			Link Segment mode (RFD+LS).
Up	Up	Down	Enables Remote Fault Detection mode plus
			Link Propagation mode (RFD+LP).
Down	Down	Up	Enables Symmetrical Fault Detect mode (SFD).
Up	Down	Up	Illegal setting. LS mode is enabled.
Down	Up	Up	Illegal setting. LS mode is enabled.
Up	Up	Up	Illegal setting. LS mode is enabled.

NOTE: Connecting two converters set to any of the RFD modes are illegal and will cause a “deadly embrace” lockup.

NOTE: It is recommended to keep the LS setting (default) until initial configuration is complete.
