1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 General Description

The 6540-FK is the direct replacement for the discontinued FlexSwitch Model
600XC 2Fx + 2U. The 6540-FK replacement kit consists of two iConverter
10/100Base-Tx to 100Base-Fx Media Converter Modules installed in a iConverter

The 6540-FK provides two 10/100 auto-negotiating UTP ports with auto-crossover

The two 100Base-Fx fiber ports support half or full duplex operation.
The 6540-FK features front panel accessible DIP-Switches for convenient

2.0 INST ALLATION

2.1 Chassis Installation

The 6540-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. 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
attach to the receive side of the device at the other end and the receive (RX) is
attach to the transmit side.

2.4 UTP Installation

Connect the UTP ports via a Category 5 cable to a 10Base-T or 100Base-Tx
Ethernet device.
