SW3 - Port 1 “AN/Man”
This DIP-switch configures Port 1 for Auto Negotiation or Manual operation.
SW4 and SW5 - Port 1 Speed “100/10” and Duplex “FDX/HDX”
See Figure 4 for configuring duplex mode and speed when the port is configured for Manual
operation.
SW6 - Port 2 “AN/Man”
This DIP-switch configures Port 2 for Auto Negotiation or Manual operation.

See Figure 4 for configuring duplex mode and speed when the port is configured for Manual
operation.
DIP-SWITCH BANK 2
The functions of DIP-switch Bank 2 are outlined in Figure 3. DIP-switch Bank 2 switches 1 - 6
control the operation of Port 3 and Port 4. DIP-switches 7 and 8 are global settings.

SW7 - Pause “Off/On”
The Pause DIP-switch sets the flow control functionality for all four ports on the module,
including pause mode advertisement, pause functionality, and half duplex back pressure.
When the DIP-switch is in the Pause Enable “On” position, flow control functionality is
enabled. When this DIP-switch is in the Pause Disable “Off” position (factory default), flow
control functionality is disabled.
If Pause is Enabled on the module and the port is in half duplex, then half duplex flow control
is enabled. When a port is in half duplex flow control it generates a back pressure signal
when internal buffer resources are low.
If Pause is Enabled on the module and the port is in full duplex, then full duplex flow control
is enabled. When a port is in full duplex flow control and internal buffering resources are low,
a pause frame is generated to slow down the traffic flow to the port.
SW8 - MAC Learning
When this DIP-switch is in the Enable “On” position (factory default), all ports on the module
will learn the source MAC address of each received packet and store the address so packets
destined for the stored addresses can be forwarded to the appropriate interface on the module.
When the DIP-switch is in the Disable “Off” position, learning is turned off and all received
packets are forwarded to all ports.
2) INSTALL MODULE IN CHASSIS AND CONNECT CABLES
Carefully slide the module into an open slot in the chassis. Align the module with the installation
guides and ensure that the module is firmly seated against the backplane. Secure the module
by fastening the front panel thumbscrew (push in and turn clockwise to tighten) to the chassis
front. Verify the “Pwr” LED is ON (indicating the chassis is powered).
Caution: Use proper ESD protection to reduce the risk of damage to the equipment.
Connect the UTP ports via a Category 5 cable to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T
Ethernet device.
3) VERIFY OPERATION
Verify the correct LED is illuminated based on the configuration of the port.
Figure 5: Front Panel Layout
Each port can operate at 10/100/1000. Figure 6 on the next page indicates the operation of
the port based on the illuminated LEDs. If the 100 LED is illuminated, the port is operating
