3.2.2.3 SW3 - Pause Disable/Enable “Off/On” When the Pause enable/disable DIP-switch is in the Left “Off” position (factory default), Port 2 of the 2GXM does not send, receive and/or react to Pause frames during network congestion. Setting this DIP- switch to the Right “On” position enables Port 2 of the 2GXM to send, receive and/or react to Pause frames to/from its link partner. This enables the 2GXM to stop transmitting traffic to its link partner and store incoming frames from the other port
