3.
Connect the Transmit (TX) port (light colored post) on the Black Box Media
Converter to the Receive (RX) port of the remote device. Begin with the color-
coded strand of the cable for this first TX-to-RX connection.
4.
Connect the Receive (RX) port (dark colored post) on the product to the
Transmit (TX) port of the remote device. Use the non-color coded fiber strand for
this.
5.
The LINK LED corresponding to the fiber port on the front of the product
will illuminate when a proper connection has been established at both ends
(and
when power is ON in the unit). If LINK is not lit after cable
connection, the
normal cause is improper cable polarity. Swap the fiber
cables on the product connector to remedy this situation.
6.
For the Link-Pass-through model, connection is the same except that the LINK
indication will not be present unless LINK is made for the cables on both sides.
