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 configuration of Port 1 and 2 on
each 4-Port Switch Module.

Each 4-Port Switch Module has been pre-configured 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 configuring 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 configured for Auto-Negotiation, the automatic crossover detection is enabled
for that particular port. Automatic crossover detection is disabled when the port is configured
for manual negotiation.
Port 1 and Port 2 Speed 10/100Mbps
When the port is configured 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 configured 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 configured 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.
