Configuring the DIP-Switches

The 6500-FK has been pre-configured with Auto-Negotiation enabled for plug
and play easy of use. However, the iConverter Switch Modules offer additional
configuration flexibility.

Switch Module

Each 4-Port Switch Module has been pre-configured for Auto-Negotiation.
On-board DIP-Switches are available to manually configure Port 1 and 2 of
each module. The figure indicates the factory default settings.

4 Port Switch Module DIP-Switch

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
other switch module.

Backplane Port A 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
other switch 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
