Indicators
Power / TST This green LED is turned on when power is applied to the media converter. Otherwise it is off. The LED will blink when in Loopback test mode.
Fiber link on / Receive activity (LKF) This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the 1000Base-X link is on and flashes with a 50% duty cycle when data is received. The LED will slow blink when the 1000Base-X interface has been taken down as a result of a fault on the 1000Base-T interface.
Copper link on / Receive activity (LKC) This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the 1000Base-T link is on and flashes with a 50% duty cycle when data is received. The LED will slow blink when the 1000Base-T interface has been taken down as a result of a fault on the 1000Base-T interface.
Switches - accessible through a side opening in the chassis
Auto-Negotiation Enabled (Default - Up) In this mode the 1000Base-X and the 1000Base-T will negotiate to the HCD of the two link partners. The 1000Base-X will link up after the negotiation is completed and the 1000Base-T has linked up.

Disabled - The 1000Base-X will not use auto negotiation. The 1000Base-T will negotiate to the HCD of the Switch settings and the link partner.
Link Mode Link Mode provides a transparency to the state of the copper link allowing for simplified trouble shooting from the devices connected to the media converter.

Normal (Default – Up)
With Fiber Auto Negotiation enabled when the 1000Base-T link goes down the 1000Base-X link is brought down. The 1000Base-X link will advertise Remote Fault (Link Fault).

With Fiber Auto Negotiation disabled the state of the 1000Base-T link has no effect on the 1000Base-X link.

Smart Link Pass Through (Down)

With Fiber Auto Negotiation enabled the behavior is as follows. When the 1000Base-T link goes down the 1000Base-X link is brought down. The 1000Base-X link will advertise Remote Fault (Link Fault). When Remote Fault (Link Fault) is received on the 1000Base-X interface the 1000Base-T transmitter will be turned off. When the 1000Base-T receiver is off the 1000Base-X transmitter will be turned off. When the 1000Base-X receiver goes off the 1000Base-T transmitter will be turned off.

With Fiber Auto-Negotiation disabled the behavior is as follows. When the 1000Base-T receiver is off the 1000Base-X transmitter will be turned off. When the 1000Base-X receiver goes off the 1000Base-T transmitter will be turned off.
Pause When Fiber Auto Negotiation is disabled Pause should only be enabled when all devices connected to the media converter support pause.

Enabled(Default) - The Media converter will advertise Pause capable, Asymmetric pause not needed during Auto-Negotiation..

Disabled - The Media converter will advertise that it does not have Pause capability during Auto-Negotiation.
Fiber Fault Alert The Fiber Fault Alert switch has meaning when Auto-Negotiation is disabled

Enabled (Default - Up)

When the 1000Base-X receiver is off the 1000Base-X transmitter is turned off. Periodically the 1000Base-X receiver will be turned on for a short period to allow the condition to clear if the 1000Base-X link partner is using a similar feature.

Disabled (Down)
Duplex Full (Default-Up) - The media converter will advertise Full Duplex Capable, Half Duplex Capable.

AUTO (Down) -The Media converter will advertise Full Duplex Not Capable, Half Duplex Capable.
Remote Loopback The media converter can perform a loopback on the 1000Base-X fiber interface.

Disabled (Default - Up)

Enabled - The 1000Base-X receiver is looped to the 1000Base-X transmitter. The 1000Base-T transmitter is taken off the interface.
