Magnum14E Media Converters | Installation and User Guide (10/02) |
Converter in order to decide what to do. Not receiving FLPs would indicate (incorrectly) that the Magnum 14E is only capable of half-duplex operation. Setting the switch in the AN position causes FLPs to be sent, advertising full-duplex capability. BUT NOTE . . . it is up to the user who chooses the AN position to determine that the device on the other end of the fiber cable is, in fact, capable of full-duplex operation. If it is not, choose the reg position and do not advertise full-duplex.
The reg position is also suitable for use when non-auto-negotiating devices are attached. In this case, the attached RJ-45 port (such as in a traditional managed switch) is set to half-or full-duplex by the operator, and does not depend upon auto-negotiating FLPs. The 14E itself is transparent half- or full-duplex, and will always operate correctly in this situation.
