Six line segments serve to connect pairwise any four points in the plane, no three of which are collinear. It's clear that no placement of the points permits all six to have the same length. How many unique placements permit the segments to have only two distinct lengths?

Six line segments serve to connect pairwise any four points in the plane, no three of which are collinear. It's clear that no placement of the points permits all six to have the same length. How many unique placements permit the segments to have only two distinct lengths?
