FlexSwitch
4FxModel 6530-FK Replacement Kit
TM
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 fiber ports supporting half or full duplex operation.
The 6530-FK features front panel accessible DIP-Switches for convenient configuration of
the fiber ports. On-board DIP-Switches configure the link mode and backplane operation.
The backplanes are enabled by default.

1) Configure DIP-Switches
Front Panel DIP-Switches
The modules have been pre-configured for full duplex operation as illustrated below. For half
duplex operation, use the front panel DIP-Switch associated with the appropriate fiber port.
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
fiber port operates in Full-Duplex mode. When in the "HDX" position, the fiber 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 configuration of the Link Modes and
Backplane connectivity. For more information on Link Mode, see the
Note. The modules are pre-configured with the Backplanes enable as shown below.
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.
Distance
Backplane Port B Enable/Disable
5km
This DIP-Switch must be in the RIGHT "Enable" position for the module to operate correctly.
30km
The switch provides backplane connectivity with the other switch module.
60km
Link Propagate/Link Segment
5km
When both the Link Propagate/Link Segment "LP" and the Remote Fault Detect "RFD" DIP-
30km
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.
