1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Description The 6750-FK is the replacement for the discontinued FlexSwitch Model 600XC 1Fx + 4U. The 6750-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 6750-FK provides five 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 6750-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 DC Powered Chassis Site Preparation • • Power source should be available within 5 ft. of the chassis. The over current protection for connection with centralized DC shall be provided in the building installation, and shall be a UL listed circuit breaker rated 20Amps, and installed per the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70. This equipment requires 18-60VDC/1.0Amp rated power. Appropriate overloading protection should be provided on the DC power source outlets utilized.
• Prepare a power cable using a three conductor insulated wire (not supplied) with a 14 AWG gauge minimum. Cut the power cable to the length required. • Strip approximately 3/8 of an inch of insulation from the power cable wires. • Connect the power cables to the iConverter Chassis by fastening the stripped ends to the DC power connector. WARNING: Note the wire colors used in making the positive, negative and ground connections. Use the same color assignment for the connection at the circuit breaker.
3.3 Configuring the DIP-switches The 6750-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. Board-mounted DIP-switches are 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/HalfDuplex “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.
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.
4.0 LED INDICATORS 4.1 4Tx Switch Module The 4Tx Switch Module has LED indicators to provide connection information.
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.
6.0 LINK MODE DESCRIPTION In order to accommodate different user requirements, the 6750-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.
Warning The operating description in this Instruction Manual is for use by qualified personnel only.
