I read through the manual, and saw all the different modes described,
but wasn't super clear how you configured those different modes. It
looks like the copper and SFP are in the same switch group regardless,
but you have to choose which port management is on.

Now that I think about it more, the Plus had two modes shown in the
GUI. I think it was "Smart Mode" or something like that. In one mode
all the ports were in one switch group, and in the other mode they
were separated by internal VLAN's. If you wanted that VLAN mode on,
but wanted to get creative like map port 2 on one to port 4 on the
other, then that was where only Trango support could do it.
On the Lynx/Orion the settings for this are not obvious until you read
the manual. The OOB mode was one of the options that affected it, but
there was another one too. They had diagrams showing the pathways
you'd create when you set those options in different ways.

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?
