44 IP390 Security Platform Installation Guide
The following figure shows the front panel details for the two-port long-range (1000 Base-LX)
fiber-optic Gigabit Ethernet NIC you can use in your IP390.

After the power is turned on and the cables are connected, the Ethernet link LEDs on both the
IP390 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
cable to loop back the transmit port of an interface to the receiver port. LC and SC define the
fiber-optic connector types; LC connectors are smaller than SC connectors.
Caution
Depending on the product you order, one or more LC-to-SC cables are included with
fiber-optic Gigabit Ethernet NICs. You can order additional cables from a cable vendor
of your choice.
Cables that connect to the Gigabit Ethernet NIC must be IEEE 802.3z
compliant to prevent potential data loss.
Fiber-Optic Gigabit Ethernet NIC SFP Modules
If for any reason you need to remove or install a long-range or short-range SFP module, be sure
that it is fully inserted before you put the NIC into service to ensure proper operation.
