1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 General Description

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.

2.0 INST ALLATION

2.1 Chassis Installation

The 6530-FK is designed to accommodate wall-mounting and tabletop
installations. For wall-mounting, the 8249-0 W all-Mount kit (sold separately)
is designed to attach the chassis to a wall, backboard or other flat surfaces.

For tabletop installations, place the unit on a flat level surface. Attach the
rubber feet to the bottom of the chassis to prevent the unit from sliding. Make
sure the unit is placed in a safe, dry and secure location.

For external power installation and configuration, see section 3.0.

2.2 Module Installation

The modules are pre-installed in the iConverter 2-Module chassis with the
backplane enabled on both modules and Link Segment selected. See Section

6.0 for more information on the Link Modes. If the modules are removed,
carefully slide the module into the open slot. Align the module with the
installation guides and ensure that the module is firmly seated against the
backplane. Secure the module by fastening the front panel thumbscrew (push
in and turn clockwise to tighten) to the chassis front.

2.3 Fiber Installation

Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the fiber 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.
