III. Connecting an Ethernet cable
Take the fixed 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet 1 port on the front panel of the SecPath
V1000-A for example. Follow these steps to connect its Ethernet cable:
Caution:
For each fixed Ethernet interface (for example, 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet 1 on the
SecPath V1000-A), if both of its electrical and optical ports are connected, the electrical
port is regarded as the operating port by default.
1) Connect the Ethernet electrical port
Caution:
Read the mark above the port to be connected carefully, making sure it is the correct
port.
Step 1: Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the electrical port of the 10/100/1000
Mbps Ethernet 1 and the other end to the peer device.
Step 2: Check the status of the LINK LED for the Ethernet 1 interface. ON means the Rx
link is present. OFF means no Rx link is present; check the line for the cause.
2) Connect the optical Ethernet port
Caution:
In connecting the fiber-optic, observe the following:
Do not over-bend the fiber-optic. Its curvature radius must be greater than 10 cm (3.9
in.).
Ensure that the Tx and Rx ends are correctly connected.
Ensure that the fiber ends are clean.
