1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Description The 6550-FK is the direct replacement for the discontinued FlexSwitch Model 600XC 1Fx + 4U. The 6550-FK replacement kit consists of one iConverter 10/100Base-Tx to 100Base-Fx Media Converter Module and one iConverter 4Tx Switch Module installed in a iConverter 2-Module Chassis. The 6550-FK provides auto-negotiating 10/100 UTP ports with auto-crossover that enables easy attachment to hubs, switches and workstations.
2.0 INSTALLATION 2.1 Chassis Installation The 6550-FK is designed to accommodate wall-mounting and tabletop installations. For wall-mounting, the 8249-0 Wall-Mount kit (sold separately) is designed to attach the chassis to a wall, backboard or other flat surfaces. For tabletop installations, place the unit on a flat level surface. Attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the chassis to prevent the unit from sliding. Make sure the unit is placed in a safe, dry and secure location.
3.0 CONFIGURATION 3.1 AC Site Preparation • Power source should be available within 5 ft. of the chassis and installed per the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA-70. • This equipment requires a 100-240VAC, 0.5Amp, 50/60Hz power outlet. Appropriate overloading protection should be provided on the AC power source outlets utilized. • The operating temperature of this equipment is 0 to 50 degrees C.
3.3 Configuring the DIP-Switches The 6550-FK has been pre-configured with Auto-Negotiation enabled on all UTP ports for plug and play easy of use. However, the iConverter Modules offer additional configuration flexibility. 3.3.1 4Tx Switch Module The 4Tx Switch Module has been pre-configured for Auto-Negotiation. A board-mounted DIP-Switch is available to manually configure Port 1 and 2. The figure below indicates the factory default settings.
UTP 10/100Mbps “10/100” DIP-Switch (Port 1 or Port 2) When the UTP “AN/MAN” DIP-Switch (described above) is in the manual “MAN” position, the “10/100” DIP-Switch determines the speed of operation for the designated UTP port. Setting the “10/100” DIP-Switch to “100” position (factory default) forces the UTP port to operate at 100Mbps. Setting this DIP-Switch to “10” position forces the UTP port to operate at 10Mbps. Adjust the “10/100” DIP-Switch to match the speed of the connecting UTP device.
10/100 speed and duplex mode of a mating Auto-Negotiating device connected to its UTP port. When the UTP “AN/Man” DIP-Switch is in the “Man” position, the converter does not auto-Negotiate and operates in the mode selected by the Full/Half Duplex “FDX/HDX” and “10/100” DIP-Switches. UTP 10/100 “10 / 100” DIP-Switch When the UTP “AN/Man” DIP-Switch is in the “Man” position, the UTP “10/100” DIP-Switch selects the speed of the UTP port.
setting and will cause a “deadly embrace” lockup. A and B Backplane Enable “BPOEN” DIP-Switch This DIP-Switch must be in the UP position (factory default) for the module to operate correctly. The backplane must be enabled for the Media Converter Module to communicate. Link Propagate/Link Segment “LP” DIP-Switch When both the Link Propagate/Link Segment “LP” and the Remote Fault Detect “RFD” DIP-Switches are in the DOWN position (factory default), Link Segment mode is enabled.
4.2 Media Converter Module The Media Converter Module has LED indicators to provide information on how the module is communicating to its link partner. The LED indicators can also be used to troubleshoot problems with the connections.
5.0 SPECIFICATIONS Description Fast Ethernet Switch with 5 10/100 UTP Ports and 1 100Base-Fx Fiber Port Protocols 10Base-T, 100Base-Tx, 100Base-Fx with 1535 bytes max. frame size UTP Cable Type EIA/TIA 568A/B Category 5 and higher Fiber Cable Type Multimode: 50/125, 62.5/125, 100/140um Singlemode: 9/125um UTP Connector Type RJ45 Fiber Connector Type Dual Fiber: ST, SC DIP-Switches Fiber: FDX/HDX UTP: AN/MAN, 10/100, FDX/HDX Link Modes: LS, LP, RFD Power Requirements 100 - 240 VAC @ 0.5A/0.
6.0 LINK MODES In order to accommodate different user requirements, the 6550-FK Media Converter Module supports three different link modes. Link Segment (LS) LS mode transmits a link signal independently of any received ‘Link’ at any port. Utilizing this configuration, a loss of a receive link signal will only affect the port detecting the loss of signal. All the other ports will continue to generate a link signal.
