By offering in-band management, this converter can be completely controlled and monitored from a centrally located managed rack controlling all converter settings including bandwidth control, duplex, and speed configuration. This media converter is completely transparent to Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols including IEEE 802.1q, VLAN tag, Q in Q, STP, IPX, IP, etc. When used stand-alone, this converter has no access to management functions except to force Ethernet connection and apply Link Fault Pass-thru via setting of a 4-pole DIP switch.
