Connecting the Fiber Optic Cable
This section describes how to connect the fiber optic link
segment to the FOT-F3. Perform the following steps only after
testing the fiber optic cable to ensure that the cable has no
defects.
Note: It is recommended to label the fiber optic cable to indicate
which fiber is Receive and which is Transmit. When you buy
fiber optic cable from Cabletron Systems, at one end of the
cable, one fiber is labeled 1, and the other fiber is labeled 2. This
pattern is repeated at the other end of the cable. If you did not
purchase your cable from Cabletron Systems, then be sure you
have labeled your cable in the manner described above.
