Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual
NOTE:
Tie cable to cable management bar far enough below connection to allow for manufacturer’s
recommended bend radius
5.
Attach the free-running end of the fiber optic cable to the transceiver on the DXLink Fiber Transmitter or Receiver.
6.
Repeat the previous steps for the remaining fiber cables.
NOTE:
When fiber optic transceivers are not cabled (e.g., for shipping or storage), replace the dust plugs that originally
shipped with the product.
Fiber Optic Transceiver LEDs in Duplex and Simplex Hardware
DXLink Fiber Boards, Simplex are labeled "Simplex." DXLink Fiber Boards, Duplex are not labeled (FIG. 55):
Fiber optic transceiver LEDs have different functionality for each of the data Directional Modes (see page 136). Duplex
hardware is designed for Bidirectional Mode, but can be configured for Unidirectional Mode. Simplex hardware only
functions in Unidirectional Mode. When Duplex hardware in Bidirectional Mode loses its return pat, it drops into Data Link-
lost Mode.
NOTE:
Location of TX and RX LEDs depends on board orientation. Enova DGX 800/1600 - TX LED is right on input boards and
left on output boards; RX LED is reversed. Enova DGX 3200 - TX LED is on bottom and RX is on top for both input and output
boards. Enova DGX 6400 - TX LED is right on I/O boards in left side of enclosure and is left on I/O boards in right side of
enclosure.
Regardless of the Directional Mode that Duplex hardware is using, the transceiver’s TX LED is yellow and its RX LED is green.
Simplex transceiver LEDs are always blue.
For instructions on setting Duplex hardware to a particular Directional Mode and information about each of the available
modes, see "Duplex Hardware Directional Mode Configuration" on page 143.
Transceiver LEDs in Bidirectional Mode - Duplex Only
FIG. 56 describes the LEDs for the fiber optic transceiver on DXLink Fiber, Duplex Boards (and on DXLink Fiber TXs and RXs)
in Bidirectional Mode as well as in Data Link-lost Mode.
