CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

Dust, dirt, and other contaminants on the ends of the connectors create
data transmission problems. Avoid touching the ends of the
connectors. If the ends become dirty, clean them with alcohol using a
soft, clean, lint-free cloth.
To connect a fiber optic segment to the TPIM-F2 /-F3, refer to Figure 3-3
and follow these steps:
1. Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiber optic ports on the
module and from the connectors on each fiber strand.
2. Attach a fiber strand to the module’s receive port (labeled RX) and the
other fiber strand to the module’s transmit port (labeled TX).

3. Attach the other end of the strand that is connected to the host RX port
to the destination device’s TX port and attach the other end of the
strand connected to host TX port to the destination device’s RX port.
The next chapter describes how to use LANVIEW LEDs to monitor the
operation of the BRIM-T6 and troubleshooting procedures.
