3.3 Configuring the DIP-switches

The 6750-FK has been pre-configured with auto-negotiation enabled on all UTP ports for plug and play easy of use. However, the iConverter Modules offer additional configuration flexibility.

3.3.1 4Tx Switch Module

The 4Tx Switch Module has been pre-configured for auto-negotiation. Board-mounted DIP-switches are available to manually configure Port 1 and
2. The figure below indicates the factory default settings.

4 Port Switch Module DIP-Switches
Backplane Port A Enable/Disable “BP A EN” DIP-switch
This DIP-switch must be in the LEFT position (factory default) for the module to operate correctly. The switch provides backplane connectivity with the Media Converter Module.
Backplane Port B Enable/Disable “BP B EN” DIP-switch
This DIP-switch must be in the LEFT position (factory default) for the module to operate correctly. The switch provides backplane connectivity with the Media Converter Module.
UTP Auto-Negotiate/Manual “AN / MAN” DIP-switch (Port 1 or Port 2)
When this DIP-switch is in the UTP auto-negotiate “AN” position (factory default), the UTP port automatically determines the speed and duplex mode of the connecting UTP device. If the connecting UTP device cannot provide the proper signal to indicate its own mode of operation, this DIP-switch should be set to the UTP Manual mode “MAN” position. Manual mode requires manually configuring the UTP port to match the speed and the duplex mode of the connecting UTP device using the “10/100” and UTP “FDX/HDX” DIP-switches.
When a UTP port is configured for auto-negotiation, the automatic crossover detection is enabled for that particular UTP port. Automatic crossover detection is disabled when the UTP port is configured for manual negotiation.
Page 7
UTP 10/100Mbps “10/100” DIP-switch (Port 1 or Port 2)
When the UTP “AN/MAN” DIP-switch (described above) is in the manual “MAN” position, the “10/100” DIP-switch determines the speed of operation for the designated UTP port. Setting the “10/100” DIP-switch to “100” position (factory default) forces the UTP port to operate at 100Mbps. Setting this DIP-switch to “10” position forces the UTP port to operate at 10Mbps. Adjust the “10/100” DIP-switch to match the speed of the connecting UTP device.
UTP Full/Half-Duplex “HD/FD” DIP-switch (Port 1 or Port 2)
When the UTP “AN/MAN” DIP-switch (described above) is in the manual “MAN” position, the “HD/FD” DIP-switch determines the duplex operation mode for the UTP port. Setting the “HD/FD” DIP-switch to UTP Full-Duplex “FD” (factory default) position forces the UTP port to operate in Full-Duplex. Setting this DIP-switch to “HD” forces the UTP port to operate in Half-Duplex. Adjust the UTP Half/Full-Duplex DIP-switch to match duplex mode the connecting UTP device.
When the UTP “AN/MAN” DIP-switch is in the auto-negotiate “AN” position and the UTP Full/Half Duplex DIP-switch is in the Full-Duplex “FD” position, the UTP port auto-negotiates to Full or Half-Duplex. When in the Half-Duplex “HDX” position, the UTP port functions only in Half-Duplex.

3.3.2 Media Converter Module - Front Panel

The Media Converter Modules have been pre-configured as illustrated below . Using the front panel DIP-switches, the module can be configured for customer­specific applications.
Media Converter Module Front Panel DIP-Switches
Fiber Full/Half-Duplex “FDX / HDX” DIP-switch
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.
UTP Auto/Manual Negotiate “AN / MAN” DIP-switch
When the UTP “AN/Man” DIP-switch is in the auto-negotiate “AN” position (factory default), the converter auto-negotiates and matches the
Page 8
10/100 speed and duplex mode of a mating auto-negotiating device connected to its UTP port.
When the UTP “AN/Man” DIP-switch is in the “Man” position, the converter does not auto-negotiate and operates in the mode selected by the Full/Half­Duplex “FDX/HDX” and “10/100” DIP-switches.
UTP 10/100 “10 / 100” DIP-switch
When the UTP “AN/Man” DIP-switch is in the “Man” position, the UTP “10/100” DIP-switch selects the speed of the UTP port. When in the “100” position (factory default), the UTP port operates at 100 Mbps. When in the “10” position the UTP port operates at 10 Mbps.
UTP Full/Half-Duplex “FDX / HDX” DIP-switch
When the UTP “AN/Man” DIP-switch is in the “Man” position, the “FDX/HDX” DIP-switch selects the duplex mode of the UTP port. When in the “FDX” position (factory default), the UTP port operates in Full-Duplex mode. When in the “HDX” position, the UTP port operates in Half-Duplex. Set the duplex mode to match the connecting device and check for link status.
Note: Attaching an auto-negotiating UTP port of the 6750-FK to a device with a manual/forced/hard-coded UTP port may result in an unpredictable port setting with excessive collisions and poor link performance. When operating in Manual mode, both mating ports MUST be set manually to the same speed and duplex mode.

3.3.3 Media Converter Module - On-Board

The Media Converter Module has an on-board DIP-switch for the configuration of the Link Mode and Backplane connectivity. See Section 6.0 for more information on the Link Modes. The module is preconfigured as illustrated below.

This DIP-switch must be in the UP position (factory default) for the module to operate correctly. The backplane must be enabled for the Media Converter Module to communicate.
Link Propagate/Link Segment “LP” DIP-switch
When both the Link Propagate/Link Segment “LP” and the Remote Fault Detect “RFD” DIP-switches are in the DOWN position (factory default), Link Segment mode is enabled. When the Link Propagate/Link Segment “LP” DIP-switch is in the UP position, and the Remote Fault Detect “RFD” DIP-switch is in the DOWN position, Link Propagate mode is enabled.
Note: Setting both the “LP” and the “ RFD” to the UP positions on the same module is an illegal mode that will result in unpredictable behavior.

6.0 LINK MODE DESCRIPTION

In order to accommodate different user requirements, the 6750-FK Media Converter Module supports three different link modes.
Link Segment (LS)
LS mode transmits a link signal independently of any received Link at any port. Utilizing this configuration, a loss of a receive link signal will only affect the port detecting the loss of signal. All the other ports will continue to generate a link signal. A loss of link on the UTP port, only affects the UTP port; the other ports remain unaffected.
Link Propagate (LP)
LP mode transmits a link signal only when a link signal is detected. Utilizing this configuration, a loss of a receive link signal will continue to propagate through to the next port in the network. A loss of link on the UTP port will cause the fault to propagated forward causing the fiber and UTP ports at the remote end to drop its link. This setting allows the loss of a link to be detected by SNMP or other managed network devices.
Remote Fault Detect + Link Propagate (RFD+LP)
RFD+LP mode transmits a link signal only when a link signal is detected. When a loss of link is detected, this mode will perform both a loop back and propagate forward. A loss of RX fiber causes the fault to loop back causing the port on the other media converter to lose link. It also propagates the fault forward toward the UTP port causing the UTP port to lose link.
Note: Connecting two converters together both set to RFD+LP mode will cause a lockup condition. This is an illegal setting.
