After the power is turned on and the cables are connected, the Ethernet link LEDs on both the
IP690 and on the remote equipment illuminate to indicate the connection. As data is transmitted,
the activity LEDs on the appliance illuminate.
Fiber-Optic Gigabit Ethernet NIC Connectors and Cables
For short-range NICs, to connect the fiber-optic Gigabit Ethernet NIC to other network
components, use a multi-mode, fiber-optic cable with an LC connector for each NIC interface.
You can use either 50 or 62.5 micron cable; 50 micron-type cable provides longer transmission
reach.
For long-range NICs, to connect the fiber-optic Gigabit Ethernet NIC to other network
components, use a single-mode, fiber-optic cable with an LC connector for each NIC interface.
The destination end of the cable can be either LC or SC, depending on the type of connector
required for the destination Gigabit Ethernet device. You can also use a half-duplex LC-to-LC
