The RTL8201N also supports full duplex in SNI mode. The duplex pin is
pulled high to support 10Base-T full duplex function.
8.2.4. Fiber Mode and MII Interface
The RTL8201N only supports 100Base-FX when Fiber mode is enabled. ANE (Auto-Negotiation Enable)
and SPEED configuration is ignored when Fiber mode is enabled.
