Connecting Fiber Optic Cable to SFP Transceivers
1.
Before connecting the fiber optic cable, remove the protective dust caps from
the module connectors. Save these dust caps for future use.
2.
Wipe clean the ends of the dual connectors with a soft cloth or lint-free lens
tissue dampened in alcohol. Make certain the connectors are clean before
connecting.
Note:
One strand of the duplex fiber optic cable is coded using color bands at regular
intervals; you must use the color-coded strand on the associated ports at each end of the
fiber optic segment.
3.
Find the Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) markings on the SFP transceiver to
verify the top side of it. Some of the transceivers show a arrow mark for up.
4.
Position the SFP transceiver correctly before insertion, and then insert the SFP
transceiver carefully, until the transceiver connector snap into the place in the
socket
connector.
5.
Connect the Transmit (TX) port on the Magnum module to the Receive (RX)
port of the remote device. Connect the Receive (RX) port on the module to the
Transmit (TX) port of the remote device.
3.2.5
Connecting DB9 Serial ports
This procedure assumes that one end of the serial device cable is already
attached to the end unit. Be aware of the serial port numbering scheme when installing
the cables. The ports are configured in software later on and if a device is accidentally
connected to the wrong port it will be difficult to detect. Connect cables to the Serial
ports as described below:
1.
Align the DB9 connector with appropriate serial port and push gently until the
connector is completely mated to the port.
2.
Tighten the two extended capture screws hand tight.
3.
Make sure that the connector is not supporting the whole weight of the cable.
Providing strain relief on these cables will ensure a stable connection.
4.
Return to step one above and connect the remainder of the serial cables.
The LINK LED on the front of the module will illuminate and turn Green,
when a proper connection has been established at both ends (and when power is ON in
the unit). If LINK is not lit or OFF after cable connection, the normal cause is improper
cable polarity. Swap the fiber cables at the module connector and also check the
connectivity on the target device to remedy this situation.
Reconfigure or reboot both of the devices if required.
If connected properly, you can check via (MNS-DX) software for verifying the validity
of the ports.
