And in fact, on the Lynx with default config you'd have a switch loop if you connected the copper and SFP to the same switch.

On Giga/Apex Plus the ports were mapped 1 to 1, and there wasn't a way to change that mapping through the normal means (but Trango could by logging in as root and editing a VLAN config file).

On Giga/Apex Lynx the ports are all switched together in the default config.  You could change that behavior and the manual described a few different modes, but in the default config it absolutely did work to use SFP on one side and copper on the other.

I have not used Orion.....but it has the same software and instruction manual as the Lynx, so I'd bet it's switched together on that one too.

It's been years since I've had to mess with the configuration, but something is rattling around in the back recesses of my mind.  Can you use the Copper port on one end of the link, and the SPF Port on the other end of the link? Something keeps popping up in my mind about virtual channels between interfaces, and the copper on one end only talks to the copper on the other end and same for the SFP. Maybe it was a different radio manufacturer that did that?
