2. Launch a loop-back or diagnostics testing program and follow the instructions given.

NWay DIP-switch Setting
Use the NWay DIP switch to activate NWay operations.
Factory Default: NWay DIP switch set to ON position. Check that the networking device that will
be connected to the Converter supports NWay.
If YES: Check that the NWay DIP switch is set to the ON position. The Converter
will automatically set the optimum speed and duplex mode on the copper segment. Users can skip
the settings for DIP switches 2 and 3 when NWay is activated.
If NO: Set the NWay DIP switch to the OFF position.
Then use DIP switch 2 to manually select between half- (HD) and full-duplex (FD) modes. Use
DIP switch 3 to manually select between 10Mbps or 100Mbps speeds. Set NWay DIP switch to
OFF position when connecting to an auto-sensing device that only supports 10/100Mbps
detection. Some older network switches only support the auto-sensing of speed, and NOT
auto-detection of speed and duplex mode (auto-negotiation).
Note
Be sure to deactivate both local and
remote loop-back test functions for
normal converter operations
Important
In order to configure DIP switches 2
(duplex mode) and 3 (speed), you
must set DIP switch 1 (NWay) to the
OFF position
