The M3127 DESQA boards that I have all have an obvious push button
externally accessible next to the BNC connector and there are
externally visible LED indicators adjacent to the BNC and AUI
connectors to indicate which connector is active.
Those M3127 DESQA boards look like the version shown in the pictures
for this eBay listing:

It appears that there is an earlier version of the M3127 DESQA which
does not have that externally accessible push button.
Does the M3127 DESQA board you have look like the version show in the
pictures for this eBay listing?

On that version it looks like there is a 10-way jumper block in the
middle of the board and THINWIRE / THICKWIRE legends screened on the
board next to the jumper block to indicate how it should be positioned
to select the connector type. It looks like there are externally
visible LED indicators adjacent to the BNC and AUI connectors to
indicate which connector is active.
