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.
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.
