Cabletron Systems recommends labeling fiber optic cables to indicate
receive and transmit ends. Many cables are prelabeled, providing
matching labels or tapes at both ends of each strand of cable.
1. Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiber optic ports on the
applicable port on the module, and from the ends of the connectors on
each fiber strand.
2. Attach one fiber to the receive port (RX) on the EPIM-F1. Insert the
SMA connector into the port. Turn the connector clockwise until the
connector will no longer turn easily. Do not overtighten the connector.

3. Attach the other fiber of the pair to the applicable transmit port on the
module. Use the same procedure for insertion of the ST connector.

Do not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands, and do not let
the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants.
Contamination of cable ends causes problems in data
transmissions. If necessary, clean contaminated cable ends
using alcohol and a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.
