2.2 DIP-Switch
The DIP-Switch is used to configure operation mode for LFP (Link Fault Pass-
Through) and operation mode for UTP/Fiber port. The default value of DIP-switch is
OFF.

LFP (Link Fault Pass-Through): When LFP is enabled, it allows UTP link failures to
be reported to the fiber side and also allows Fiber link failures to be reported to the
UTP side. Therefore, an LFP feature is provided in both UTP and Fiber side.
Pure Converter mode (DIP-Switch 4): When pure converter mode is enabled (on), it
operates with the minimum latency. The transmission flow does not wait until entire
frame is ready, but instead it forwards the received data immediately after the data
being received. And UTP port should be forced at 100M in this application. When DIP-
Switch is in Switch Converter mode (off), the converter function is same as Switch
Note Please don’t change the DIP-switch setting when UTP or fiber port is
transmitting or receiving data. It may cause some data error. Besides, if you
change the DIP-switch setting, please power off the converter and power on
again to make the setting effective.
