1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 General Description

The 6530-FK is the direct replacement for the discontinued FlexSwitch Model

600XC 4Fx. The 6530-FK replacement kit consists of two iConverter Fast

Ethernet Fiber-to-Fiber Media Converter Modules installed in an iConverter 2-

Module chassis.

The 6530-FK provides four 100Base-Fx fiber ports supporting half or full duplex

operation.

The 6530-FK features front panel accessible DIP-Switches for convenient

configuration of the fiber ports. On-board DIP-Switches configure the link

mode and backplane operation. The backplanes are enabled by default.

2.0 INSTALLATION

2.1 Chassis Installation

The 6530-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

backplane enabled on both modules and Link Segment selected. See Section

6.0 for more information on the Link Modes. 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 modules. It is important to make sure that the transmit (TX) is

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

is attached to the transmit side.

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. 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.

3.2 AC Powered Chassis Mounting

Attach the AC power cord to the back of the Power Receptacle and plug into

the AC outlet. Any installed modules will illuminate the power LED.

3.3 Configuring the DIP-Switches

3.3.1 Media Converter Modules - Front Panel

The Media Converter Modules have been pre-configured for full duplex

operation as illustrated below. For half duplex operation, use the front panel

DIP-Switch associated with the appropriate fiber port.

HDX (P1)

HDX (P2)

(P1) FDX

(P2) FDX

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.

3.3.2 Media Converter Modules - On-Board

The Media Converter Modules have on-board DIP-Switches for the

configuration of the Link Modes and Backplane connectivity. See Section 6.0

for more information on the Link Modes. The modules are pre-configured as

illustrated below.

(Right Position)

Media Converter Module On-Board DIP-Switches

A and B Backplane Enable “ A EN, B EN” DIP-Switch

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

to operate correctly. The backplane must be enabled for the Media Converter

Modules 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 LEFT position (factory default), Link Segment

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

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

Page 6

the LEFT position, Link Propagate mode is enabled.

Note: Setting both the “LP”, “ RFD” and “SFD” to the RIGHT positions on

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

Remote Fault Detection “RFD” DIP-Switch

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

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

RFD mode is disabled.

When the “RFD” and the “LP” DIP-Switches are in the RIGHT position, the

RFD+LP mode is selected.

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

setting and will cause a “deadly embrace” lockup.

Symmetrical Fault Detect “SFD” DIP-Switch

When the DIP-Switch is in the RIGHT position, the Symmetrical Fault

Detection “SFD” mode is enabled. When in the LEFT position (factory default),

the SFD mode is disabled.

Note: Converter must be deployed in pairs for SFD mode to operate correctly.

4.0 LED INDICATORS

4.1 Media Converter Modules

The Media Converter Modules have 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.

6.0 LINK MODES

In order to accommodate different user requirements, the 6530-FK Media

Converter Modules support five 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 (RFD)

RFD mode transmits a link signal only when a link signal is detected on the

Fiber Port. When a loss of link is detected, the fault is loop back towards the

other media converter causing a loss of link.

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.

Symmetrical Fault Detection (SFD)

In SFD, Fiber Port 2 transmits a link signal only when a link signal is detected

on Fiber Port 1. Fiber Port 1 transmits a link signal only when receiving a link

at both Fiber Port 1 and Fiber Port 2. A loss of link on Fiber Port 1 causes the

fault to loop back towards the other media converter. The fault is also

propagated to Fiber Port 2 causing a loss of link. The other media converter

receiving the loop back fault, will report the fault by blinking its link activity

LED and turning OFF the Fiber Port 2. The blinking LED will indicate a fault

of the transmit Port 1 or Port 2 cables of the converter whose LED is blinking.
