3.1.3 FX Port Duplex Settings SW5 SW6

This settings are used to set the duplex mode of the FX1 port and FX2 port individually. It is recommended to use full duplex mode for FX con- nection unless its link partner is a fixed half duplex device. Half duplex mode will shorten the connection distance. The following table lists the maximum MMF cable length connecting to different devices:
