User Instructions

Description:

The FlexSwitchTM 600XC 2Fx+2U provides two UTP
drop-off/insertion points for connections to other workstations,
servers and switches with the functionality of a fiber repeater
via two fiber ports. It features two 10/100 auto-sensing RJ45
style UTP ports and two switched Fast Ethenet fiber ports. It
operates in half or full duplex. The following multimode and
single-mode models are described here:

Ext. Power Int. Power

Model Model UTP RJ45 Fiber

6740-F116540-F112 @ 10/100 2 @ 100 SC
6741-F116541-F112 @ 10/100 2 @ 100 ST

1.

The “F1” denotes the fiber type used on the fiber ports.

Power Adapter Notice:

Please use the following to identify your model:
F1 = 0, 2, 3

0 = Multimode Lx 1300nm
2 = Single-mode Lx 1300nm
3 = Single-mode Lx/LH 1300nm Extended Distance

1. When used with an external power adapter (models 67xx),
this product must only be used with Omnitron Supplied
Power Unit model number 9112-PS.

2. When used with an external power adapter (models 67xx),
this product is intended to be and must be used only with

a Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked “Class 2” and
rated at 9Vdc, 1.2 Amp.

3. Models using internal power supplies (models “65xx”) are
capable of auto switching from 100-230V , and are supplied
with a U.S. type NEMA 5-15 power cable.

4. For products being shipped outside of the U.S., the user
is required to install a properly grounded IEC 320­appliance cable with a minimum rating of 10 AMPs.

5. User-supplied cables must meet the required safety
agency approvals, applicable international standards and
electrical ratings for the region.

WARNING!

Before inserting the Power Adapter, verify that

the power on the unit is appropriate

for your AC line voltage source.

Mounting and Cable Attachment:

The FlexSwitch 600XC can be used as a tabletop unit or
wall-mounted using a wall-mounting kit.

After connecting to an appropriate power outlet, attach the
FlexSwitch 600XC UTP ports via category 5 cables to properly
configured and operational 10Base-T or 100Base-Tx Ethernet
workstations, hubs or switches. Verify that the LEDs display
the expected (10 or 100, half or full duplex) status. Note that
both UTP ports have a built-in crossover switch that facilitates
the usage of a straight-through cable for all applications.

Attach the FlexSwitch 600XC via appropriate fiber cables
(SC or ST as needed) to a 100Base-Fx Fast Ethernet fiber
switches, hubs or workstations. The fiber’s transmit (Tx) must
attach to the receive side on the opposing device; the receive
(Rx) must attach to the transmit. Set the “Half/Full Duplex”
switches as needed.

Switch Settings:
UTP “Crossover” Switch: When connecting UTP port

3 or 4 to a hub or switch, set the corresponding switch to
“Crossover.” When connecting to a workstation, set the
corresponding switch to “Straight-Through” (factory setting).

“Full-Duplex (FDX) / Half-Duplex (HDX)” Switch:

When the FDX / HDX switches on fiber port 1 or 2 is set to
“Half-Duplex” ,that fiber port operates in half duplex. When
set to “Full-Duplex” (factory setting) that fiber port operates in
full duplex. Half duplex
hub. Full duplex
or a full-duplex workstation.

Manual Port Configuration with Switches

The FlexSwitch 600XC has the ability to configure ports to a
particular speed (10 or 100Mbps) or duplex (half/full-duplex)
through the use of switches. These Switches are located on
the side of the unit and control the two UTP ports. Setting the
the switches to “Auto” enables the port to determine the speed
and duplex mode automatically. If the connected device
cannot provide the proper signal to indicate its own mode of
operation, the manual switches should be used. This feature
allows connections with devices that do not auto-negotiate
properly. Use the following steps to manually configure these
ports.

1. Turn off auto-negotiiation (Auto) to the desired port by
setting the approprateswitch to the manual position (Man).

2. Adjust the 10/100 Mbps switch to the speed of the
connecting device and check for link status.

3. Adjust the half/full-duplex switch to accommodate the
connecting device and check for link status.
