Procedure for connecting multi-mode and single-mode fiber cables:
1.
Before connecting the fiber cable, remove the protective dust caps from the tips of the
connectors on the media converter. 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.
Connect the Transmit (TX) port (light colored post) on the Magnum Media Converter to the
Receive (RX) port of the remote device. Begin with the color-coded strand of the cable for
this first TX-to-RX connection.
4.
Connect the Receive (RX) port (dark-colored post) on the product 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
(for standard non-Link-Pass-through models) 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 cause is improper cable polarity. Swap the fiber cables
on the product connector to remedy this situation.
