Full and Half Duplex mode. The resultant negotiation will provide
the most optimum connection.
Half: The Media Converter Module will force the negotiation to
Half Duplex mode.
Note: The Duplex parameter has no direct effect on the operation
of the Media Converter. These are provided so that the attached
device (near end) can negotiate its Ethernet parameters as if it
was negotiating directly with the far end device. These parameters
on the Media Converter Module should match those of the far end
device.

device (near end) can negotiate its Ethernet parameters as if it
was negotiating directly with the far end device. The Pause switch
