FlexSwitchTM 8U Model 6700-FK Replacement Kit
User Manual
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
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 RJ-45 ports with auto-crossover that
enables easy attachment to hubs, switches and workstations.
The 6700-FK provides on-board DIP-Switches for manual conguration of Port 1 and 2 on
each 4-Port Switch Module.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1) Congure DIP-Switches
2) Install Module in Chassis and Connect Cables
3) Installing the Chassis
4) Apply AC Power
5) Verify Operation
1) Congure DIP-Switches
The description of DIP-switch is shown below.
4 Port Switch Module Default DIP-Switch Settings
Page 1
Each 4-Port Switch Module has been pre-congured for Auto-Negotiation with Backplane
A and B Enabled.
Backplane Port A Enable/Disable
This DIP-Switch must be in the LEFT “Enable” position for the module to operate correctly.
The switch provides backplane connectivity with the other switch module.
Backplane Port B Enable/Disable
This DIP-Switch must be in the LEFT “Enable” position for the module to operate correctly.
The switch provides backplane connectivity with the other switch module.
Port 1 and Port 2 RJ-45 Auto-Negotiate/Manual
When this DIP-Switch is in the RIGHT “AN” position, the Port automatically determines the
speed and duplex mode of the connecting copper device. If the connecting device cannot
provide the proper signal to indicate its own mode of operation, this DIP-Switch should be
set to the LEFT “Man” position. Manual mode requires manually conguring the RJ-45 port
to match the speed and the duplex mode of the connecting device using the Speed and
Duplex DIP-Switches.
When a port is congured for Auto-Negotiation, the automatic crossover detection is enabled
for that particular port. Automatic crossover detection is disabled when the port is congured
for manual negotiation.
Port 1 and Port 2 Speed 10/100Mbps
When the port is congured for Manual Mode (SW3/SW6 in the LEFT position), the Speed
DIP-Switch determines the speed of operation for the designated port. Setting the Speed
DIP-Switch to the RIGHT “100” position forces the port to operate at 100Mbps. Setting this
DIP-Switch to LEFT “10” position forces the port to operate at 10Mbps. Adjust the Speed
DIP-Switch to match the speed of the connecting device.
Port 1 and Port 2 Duplex Full/Half-Duplex
When the port is congured for Manual Mode (SW3/SW6 in the LEFT position), the Duplex
DIP-Switch determines the duplex operation mode for the port. Setting the Duplex DIP-
Switch to the RIGHT “FD” position forces the port to operate in Full-Duplex. Setting this
DIP-Switch to the LEFT “HD” position forces the port to operate in Half-Duplex. Adjust the
Duplex DIP-Switch to match duplex mode the connecting UTP device.
When a port is congured for Auto-Negotiation, the Duplex DIP-Switch will determine if the port
advertises Full-Duplex or Half-Duplex. When the Duplex DIP-Switch is in the “FD” position,
the port advertises Full-Duplex and Half-Duplex capability. When in the Duplex DIP-Switch
is in the “HDX” position, the port advertises only in Half-Duplex capability.

2) Install Module in the Chassis and Connect the Cables
The modules are pre-installed in the 2-Module chassis with the backplane enabled on both
modules.
a. Carefully slide the module into an open slot in the chassis. Align the module with the
installation guides and ensure that the module is rmly seated against the backplane.
Secure the module by fastening the front panel thumbscrew (push in and turn clockwise
to tighten) to the chassis front. Verify the “Pwr” LED is ON (indicating the chassis is
powered).
b. Connect the RJ-45 port via a Category 5 or better cable to a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX
Ethernet device (depending on the conguration of the port).
3) Installing the Chassis
Wall and Rack Mounting
The 2-Module chassis can be wall/rack mounted by attaching the optional wall/rack mount
brackets (8249-0). A 19” Rack Mount Shelf (8260-0) is available to install two 2-Module
chassis.
The operating temperature of this equipment is 0 to 50 degrees C. If installed in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack must not exceed
the maximum rated temperature for the chassis used.
Installation of the equipment should be such that the air ow in the front and back of the unit
is not compromised or restricted.
Installing this equipment into a rack in such a way as to make it unstable may cause injury
or death. Always make sure that the rack you are installing this equipment into is properly
secured, stable, balanced and designed to carry the weight and weight distribution of this
equipment.
Never use this equipment to carry any weight except its own. Never use it as a shelf to
support the weight of other equipment.
4) Apply DC Power
The over current protection for the connection with centralized DC shall be provided in the
building installation and shall be a UL listed breaker rated at 20 Amps, 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.
Appropriate overloading protection should be provided on all DC power source outlets utilized.
NOTE: The DC power battery return (BR) terminal or positive terminal must be
grounded at the source end (power feed or DC mains power end). The DC power BR
input terminal is not connected to the equipment frame (chassis), so it is congured
as DC-I according to the GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4 (sec 9.8.3) denitions.
WARNING: OnlyaDC 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.
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 12AWG to
14AWG thickness. Cut the power cable to the length required.
Strip approximately 3/8 of an inch of insulation from the power cable wires.
Connect the ground wire to the ground terminal on the chassis by fastening the stripped end
to the DC power connector (ground).
Connect the power cables to the 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.
