DIP Switch Settings 

The DIP switches are located on the module.  

Link Mode (Switch 1) 

Switch Position 

Mode 

Up (default) 

Smart Link Pass-through 

Down 

Standard 

Smart Link Pass-through:

 

In this mode, the link 

state on one port connection is directly reflected 
through the media converter to the other port 
connection. If link is lost on one of the connections, 
then the other link will be brought down by the 
media converter. 

Standard:

 

In this mode, the links can be brought up 

and down independently of each other. A loss of 
link on either connection can occur without 
affecting the other fiber connection.

 

Fiber Fault Alert (Switch 2) 

Switch Position 

Mode 

Up (default) 

Enabled 

Down 

Disabled 

Enabled:

 If the media converter module detects a 

loss of signal on the fiber port, the media converter 
module notifies the link partner on that same port 
that an error condition exists by bringing down the 
link
