FlexSwitchTM 4FxModel 6530-FK Replacement Kit
User Manual
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
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 ber ports supporting half or full duplex operation.
The 6530-FK features front panel accessible DIP-Switches for convenient conguration of
the ber ports. On-board DIP-Switches congure the link mode and backplane operation.
The backplanes are enabled by default.

1) Congure DIP-Switches
Front Panel DIP-Switches
The modules have been pre-congured for full duplex operation as illustrated below. For half
duplex operation, use the front panel DIP-Switch associated with the appropriate ber port.

Front Panel DIP-Switches
Port 1 and Port 2 Fiber Full/Half-Duplex
When in the Fiber Full/Half-Duplex DIP-Switch is in the “FDX” position (factory default), the
ber port operates in Full-Duplex mode. When in the “HDX” position, the ber port operates
in Half-Duplex mode and its distance is limited by the IEEE 802.3 standard to 412 meters.
On-Board DIP-Switches
The modules have on-board DIP-Switches for the conguration of the Link Modes and
Backplane connectivity. For more information on Link Mode, see the Link Mode Application
Note. The modules are pre-congured with the Backplanes enable as shown below.

On-Board DIP-Switches
Backplane Port A Enable/Disable
This DIP-Switch must be in the RIGHT “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 RIGHT “Enable” position for the module to operate correctly.
The switch provides backplane connectivity with the other switch module.
Link Propagate/Link Segment
When both the Link Propagate/Link Segment “LP” and the Remote Fault Detect “RFD” DIP-
Switches are in the LEFT position, 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 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
When the Remote Fault Detect “RFD” DIP-Switch is in the RIGHT position, the RFD mode
is selected. When in the LEFT position, 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
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.
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 an appropriate multimode or single-mode ber cable to the ber 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) 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 AC Power
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.
Appropriate overloading protection should be provided on all AC power source outlets utilized.
Attach the AC power cord to the back of the chassis. Connect the AC power cords to the AC
outlets and switch the outlets ON.
Any installed iConverter modules will illuminate the power LED.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE CHASSIS OR SERVICE THE
POWER SUPPLYORFAN MODULE. OPENING THE CHASSIS
MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURYOR DEATH.
THERE ARE NO USER REPLACEABLE OR SERVICEABLE
PARTS IN THIS UNIT.
