Connecting the Network Cables
The AT-2812FX module has two fiber optic connectors (transmit and
receive) for attaching the system to a compatible link partner, or an IEEE
802.3z compliant Fast Ethernet switch. The module requires a fiber optic
cable. For specifications for this cable, see the AT-2812FX module data
sheet or Appendix A, “Specifications” on page 75.
After you install the cables, see the appropriate chapter for software driver
installation and configuration information. See one of the following
chapters:

To connect a network cable to the module, do the following:
Warning
The fiber optic ports contain a Class 1 LED device. When the ports
are disconnected, always cover them with the provided plug.
Exposed ports may cause skin or eye damage
.
1. Connect one end of the cable to the module.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate Ethernet fiber
optic port.
After you connect the system to the network and power is supplied, the
AT-2812FX module attempts to establish the connection at 100 Mbps
full-duplex mode by default. See “Speed & Duplex Mode” on page 70
for instructions to change the connection to half duplex mode.
Note
After the cable is properly connected at both ends, the module port
LED is functional. See “Physical Description” on page 20 for a
description of the LED operation.

For instructions that describe how to clean the fiber optic connector,
see Appendix B “Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors” on page 77
