To connect the network cables:

1. Connect one end of a network cable to the Ethernet port 

located at the back of your unit. Connect the other end of the 
cable to the network itself.

2. In order to setup your unit, connect one end of a network 

cable to the Ethernet port located at the front of your 
unit. Connect the other end of the cable to a portable 
computer as illustrated in the side image.

CLEANING AND CONNECTING OPTICAL FIBERS

To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port:

1. Inspect the fi ber using a fi ber inspection probe, such as an EXFO FIP product or a standard microscope. If the fi ber is 

clean, proceed to connecting it to the port. If the fi ber is dirty, clean in accordance to good cleaning practices.

2. Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fi ber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against 

other surfaces.

If your connector features a key, ensure that it is fully fi tted into the port’s corresponding notch.

3. Push the connector in so that the fi ber-optic cable is fi rmly in place, thus ensuring adequate contact.

If your connector features a screw sleeve, tighten the connector enough to fi rmly maintain the fi ber in place. Do not overtighten: 
this will damage the fi ber and the port.

After plugging in the proper fi bers, your unit must look as follows:
