The DIP-Switch ‘1’ configures the 1000BASE-T1 interface – it changes between Master or Slave function. If
the switch is up the transceiver is configured as Slave, if the switch is down it is configured as Master.
The DIP-Switch ‘2’ configures the bitrate of both ethernet interfaces. If the switch is down, the converter is
configured in 1000MBit/s mode (1GBit/s), if the switch is up it is configured in 100MBit/s mode.
NOTICE
It is not possible to convert between 100MBit/s and 1000MBit/s.

6Troubleshooting
This chapter contains some frequently asked questions about the FlexMedia 1000BASE-T1.
1
Effect No LINK at the 1000BASE-T1 connector.
Solution
Check the DIP-switch for correct Master/Slave configuration and the DIP-switch for
Bitrate.
A 100/1000BASE-T1 communication is a Point-to-Point- Connection where on
communication partner acts as ‘Master’ and one communication partner acts as
‘Slave’.
2
Effect
No LINK at the Ethernet connector.
Solution Check the “Link Speed & Duplex” settings of the connected network adapter. See
chapter 3.4.2 for supported configurations.

8Appendix
8.1 Appendix A: Guideline for handling ESD sensitive Products
Any tester, equipment, or tool used at any production step or for any manipulation of semi-
conductor devices must have its shield connected to ground.
The product itself and the carrier system of the product respectively must be placed on a
conductive table top or covered by an antistatic surface (superficial resistivity equal to or higher
than 0.5MΩ/cm2), grounded through a ground cable (conductive cable from protected equipment to
ground isolated through a 1MΩresistor placed in series).
All manipulation of finished goods has to be made at such a grounded worktable.
The worktable must be free of all non-antistatic objects.
An antistatic floor covering grounded through a conductive ground cable (with serial resistor
between 0.9MΩand 1.5MΩ) should be used.
It is recommended that you wear an antistatic wrist or ankle strap, connected to the antistatic floor
covering or to the grounded equipment.
If no antistatic wrist or ankle strap is worn, touch the surface of the grounded worktable before
each manipulation of the ESD sensitive product.
It is recommended that antistatic gloves or finger coats be worn.
It is recommended that nylon clothing be avoided while performing any manipulation of parts.
