2 Make your connection(s) between
the chosen SFP module and either
the other ALIF4000 unit or to a
suitable network fiber switch:
Connect the transmit and receive fiber optic links to the sockets on the Fiber
Channel SFP module. Then close the latch over the link connectors to lock them into
place.
Note: SFP-SM-LC-10G modules require OS1 or OS2 single mode fiber.
SFP-MM-LC-10G modules require OM1, OM2, OM3 or OM4 multi-mode fiber.

receive fiber links
1 Insert the appropriate optional SFP
module (SFP-MM-LC-10G or SFP-
SM-LC-10G) into socket 3 located on
the front panel of the TX unit...

TX/RX high speed links
ALIF4000 units can be either connected directly to each other or via a high speed
(10GB) network. Currently, the connections must be Fiber Channel over Ethernet
(FCoE). A single fiber link (using SFP port 3) is sufficient to provide full 4K operation
between ALIF4000 units. Where required, a second fiber link can be used (via SFP port 4)
to provide link redundancy.
