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/Half
Duplex “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 6550-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.

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

When the Remote Fault Detect “RFD” DIP-Switch is in the UP position, the
RFD mode is selected. When in the DOWN position (factory default), the
RFD mode is disabled.
