Connect the Transmit (TX) port (light colored post) on the Magnum 14E to the
Receive (RX) port of the remote device. Begin with the color-coded strand of the cable
for this first “Transmit-to-Receive” connection.
4.
Connect the Receive (RX) port (dark colored post) on the 14E to the Transmit (TX) port
of the remote device. Use the non-color coded fiber strand for this.
5.
The LINK LED corresponding to the fiber port, on the front of the product, will
illuminate when a proper connection has been established at both ends (and when power
is ON in the units at each end). If LINK is not lit after cable connection, the normal

remedy this situation.
6.
Because of standard Link Pass Through feature the LINK indication will not be present
unless LINK is made for the cables on both sides.
