1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Description
The 6700-FK is the direct replacement for the discontinued FlexSwitch Model
600XC 8U. The 6700-FK replacement kit consists of two iConverter 4Tx
Switch Modules installed in a iConverter 2-Module chassis.
The 6700-FK provides eight auto-negotiating 10/100 UTP ports with auto-
crossover that enables easy attachment to hubs, switches and workstations.
The 6700-FK provides on-board DIP-Switches for manual configuration of
Port 1 and 2 on each 4-Port Switch Module.
2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 Chassis Installation
The 6700-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 2-Module chassis with the backplane
enabled on both modules. 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.

2.4 UTP Installation
Connect the UTP port via a Category 5 cable to a 10Base-T or 100Base-Tx
Ethernet device.
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.
WARNING: Only a DC power source that complies with
safety extra low voltage (SELV) requirements can be
connected to the DC-input power supply.
WARNING REGARDING EARTHING GROUND:
o
o
o
o
This equipment shall be connected to the DC supply
system earthing electrode conductor or to a bonding
jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to which the
DC supply system earthing electrode is connected.
This equipment shall be located in the same immediate
area (such as adjacent cabinets) as any other equipment
that has a connection between the earthed conductor of
the same DC supply circuit and the earthing conductor,
and also the point of earthing of the DC system. The DC
system shall not be earthed elsewhere.
The DC supply source is to be located within the same
premises as this equipment.
There shall be no switching or disconnecting devices in
the earthed circuit conductor between the DC source and
the earthing electrode conductor.
• 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 weight of other equipment.

3.2 DC Powered Chassis Mounting
• Locate the DC circuit breaker, and switch the circuit breaker to the OFF
position.
• 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.
• Connect the power wires to the circuit breaker and switch the circuit breaker
ON. If any modules are installed, their Power LED should indicate the
presence of power.
Rear of 2-Module Chassis with DC Power Connector
NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE CHASSIS OR SERVICE THE
POWER SUPPLY OR FAN MODULE. OPENING THE CHASSIS
MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
THERE ARE NO USER REPLACEABLE OR SERVICEABLE
PARTS IN THIS UNIT.
WARNING!!!

3.3 Configuring the DIP-Switches
The 6700-FK has been pre-configured with Auto-Negotiation enabled for plug
and play ease of use. However, the iConverter Switch Modules offer additional
configuration flexibility.
3.3.1 Switch Module
Each 4-Port Switch Module has been pre-configured for Auto-Negotiation.
On-board DIP-Switches are available to manually configure Port 1 and 2 of
each module. The figure indicates the factory default settings.

4 Port Switch Module DIP-Switch
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
other switch module.
Backplane Port A 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
other switch 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 “FD/HD” 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.

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