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.

For external power installation and configuration, see section 3.0.

2.2 Module Installation

The modules are pre-installed in the iConverter 2-Module chassis with the

backplanes enabled on both modules and Link Segment selected (see Section

6.0). If the modules are removed, carefully slide the module into the open

slot. Align the module with the installation guides and ensure that the module

is firmly seated against the backplane. Secure the module by fastening the

front panel thumbscrew (push in and turn clockwise to tighten) to the chassis

front.

2.3 Fiber Installation

Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the fiber port

of the installed module. It is important to make sure that the transmit (TX) is

attach to the receive side of the device at the other end and the receive (RX) is

attach to the transmit side.

2.4 UTP Installation

Connect the UTP ports via a Category 5 cable to a 10Base-T or 100Base-Tx

Ethernet device.

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. If

installed in a closed or multi-module rack assembly, the operating ambient

temperature of the rack must not exceed the maximum rated 50 degrees C.

• Installation of the equipment should be such that the air flow in the front

and back of the chassis is not compromised or restricted.

• Never use this equipment to carry any weight except its own. Never use it

as a shelf to support the weight of other equipment.

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.

BP A EN

BP B EN

MAN

(Left Position) (Right Position)

100

(Port 1)

(Port 2)

4 Port Switch Module DIP-Switches

Backplane Port A Enable/Disable “BP A EN” DIP-Switch

This DIP-Switch must be in the LEFT position (factory default) for the module

to operate correctly. The switch provides backplane connectivity with the

Media Converter Module.

Backplane Port B Enable/Disable “BP B EN” DIP-Switch

This DIP-Switch must be in the LEFT position (factory default) for the module

to operate correctly. The switch provides backplane connectivity with the

Media Converter Module.

UTP Auto-Negotiate/Manual “AN / MAN” DIP-Switch (Port 1 or Port 2)

When this DIP-Switch is in the UTP Auto-Negotiate “AN” position (factory

default), the UTP port automatically determines the speed and duplex mode of

the connecting UTP device. If the connecting UTP device cannot provide the

proper signal to indicate its own mode of operation, this DIP-Switch should be

set to the UTP Manual mode “Man” position. Manual mode requires manually

configuring the UTP port to match the speed and the duplex mode of the

connecting UTP device using the “10/100” and UTP “FDX/HDX” DIP-Switches.

When a UTP port is configured for Auto-Negotiation, the automatic crossover

detection is enabled for that particular UTP port. Automatic crossover detection

is disabled when the UTP port is configured for manual negotiation.

Page 6

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.

UTP Full/Half-Duplex “HD/FD” DIP-Switch (Port 1 or Port 2)

When the UTP “AN/MAN” DIP-Switch (described above) is in the manual

“MAN” position, the “HD/FD” DIP-Switch determines the duplex operation

mode for the UTP port. Setting the “HD/FD” DIP-Switch to UTP Full-Duplex

“FD” (factory default) position forces the UTP port to operate in Full-Duplex.

Setting this DIP-Switch to “HD” forces the UTP port to operate in

Half-Duplex. Adjust the UTP Half/Full-Duplex DIP-Switch to match

duplex mode the connecting UTP device.

When the UTP “AN/MAN” DIP-Switch is in the Auto-Negotiate “AN” position

and the UTP Full/Half Duplex DIP-Switch is in the Full-Duplex “FD” position,

the UTP port Auto-Negotiates to Full or Half-Duplex. When in the Half-Duplex

“HDX” position, the UTP port functions only in Half-Duplex.

3.3.2 Media Converter Module - Front Panel

The Media Converter Modules have been pre-configured as illustrated below.

Using the front panel DIP-Switches, the module can be reconfigured for

customer-specific applications.

Media Converter Module Front Panel DIP-Switches

Fiber Full/Half-Duplex “FDX / HDX” DIP-Switch

When in the Fiber Full/Half-Duplex DIP-Switch is in the “FDX” position

(factory default), the fiber port operates in Full-Duplex mode. When in the

“HDX” position, the fiber port operates in Half-Duplex mode and its distance

is limited by the IEEE 802.3 standard to 412 meters.

UTP Auto/Manual Negotiate “AN / MAN” DIP-Switch

When the UTP “AN/Man” DIP-Switch is in the Auto-Negotiate “AN”

position (factory default), the converter Auto-Negotiates and matches the

Page 7

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. When in the

“100” position (factory default), the UTP port operates at 100 Mbps. When

in the “10” position the UTP port operates at 10 Mbps.

UTP Full/Half-Duplex “FDX / HDX” DIP-Switch

When the UTP “AN/Man” DIP-Switch is in the “Man” position, the “FDX/HDX”

DIP-Switch selects the duplex mode of the UTP port. When in the “FDX” position

(factory default), the UTP port operates in Full-Duplex mode. When in the

“HDX” position, the UTP port operates in Half-Duplex. Set the duplex mode

to match the connecting device and check for link status.

Note: Attaching an Auto-Negotiating UTP port of the 6550-FK to a device

with a manual/forced /hard-coded UTP port may result in an unpredictable

port setting with excessive collisions and poor link performance. When

operating in Manual mode, both mating ports MUST be set manually to the

same speed and duplex mode.

3.3.3 Media Converter Module - On-Board

The Media Converter Module has an on-board DIP-Switch for the configuration

of the Link Mode and Backplane connectivity. See Section 6.0 for more

information on the Link Modes. The module is preconfigured as illustrated

below.

Remote Fault Detection “RFD” DIP-Switch

When the Remote Fault Detect “RFD” DIP-Switch is in the UP position, the

RFD mode is selected. When in the DOWN position (factory default), the

RFD mode is disabled.

Note: Connecting two converters with both set to RFD mode is an illegal

Page 8

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. When the Link Propagate/Link Segment “LP” DIP-Switch is

in the UP position, and the Remote Fault Detect “RFD” DIP-Switch is in the

DOWN position, Link Propagate mode is enabled.

Note: Setting both the “LP” and the “ RFD” to the UP positions on the same

module is an illegal mode that will result in unpredictable behavior.

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. A loss of link on the UTP port, only affects the UTP port; the

other ports remain unaffected.

Link Propagate (LP)

LP mode transmits a link signal only when a link signal is detected. Utilizing

this configuration, a loss of a receive link signal will continue to “propagate”

through to the next port in the network. A loss of link on the UTP port will

cause the fault to propagated forward causing the fiber and UTP ports at the

remote end to drop its link. This setting allows the loss of a link to be detected

by SNMP or other managed network devices.

Remote Fault Detect + Link Propagate (RFD+LP)

RFD+LP mode transmits a link signal only when a link signal is detected.

When a loss of link is detected, this mode will perform both a loop back and

propagate forward. A loss of RX fiber causes the fault to loop back causing

the port on the other media converter to lose link. It also propagates the fault

forward toward the UTP port causing the UTP port to lose link.

Note: Connecting two converters together both set to RFD+LP mode will

cause a lockup condition. This is an illegal setting.
