When setting the DIP switches, consider the following:

Setting the Auto Neg DIP switch for the twisted pair port to ON or OFF enables or disables auto-negotiation for the port. If you disable auto-negotiation, be sure to set the DIP switches for the port’s speed and duplex mode to match the speed and duplex mode of the end-node.

For the fiber optic port, set the port’s duplex mode using the appropriate Duplex Mode DIP switch. This setting must match the duplex mode capability of the end-node to be connected to the port.
