Function

---|---
1| ON/OFF Position| •  Sets a specified DIP Switch ON or OFF
 2|  DIP Switches| • Select the desired change for (1) Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT), (2) Link Speed, or (3) Local/Remote mode
_ Note: Keep the DIP Switch 4 in the OFF position at all times to_ prevent undesired behavior.
_ LFPT Note: If a link between two units is lost, one unit may continue to send packets assuming the link is up, potentially _leading to data loss. LFPT minimizes this risk by forcing a link down state upon link failure.
3|  LAN Port| •  Connects the Local unit to the Local Network or Host Device/Computer via RJ45 UTP Cable
•  Connects the Remote unit to a Remote Network or IP-Based Device via RJ45 UTP Cable
4| LED Indicators| •  Indicate the status of Local/Remote, Power, Link Status, Link Speed, and LFPT
5| LINE Port| • Connects the Local and Remote units to each other using RJ45 or RJ11UTP Cable
 6|  DC Power Port (At the Back)| •  Connect to a Power Source using the included Power Adapter
•  Recommended 12V and 1A
•  Type M barrel plug: Ø 5.5×2.1×9.5mm
