Check after power-on
Examine the LEDs on the AP after you power on it to verify that the AP is operating correctly. For
more information about the LEDs, see "
Connecting Ethernet fiber ports
WARNING!
Disconnected optical fibers or transceiver modules might emit invisible laser light. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments when the device is operating.
CAUTION:
•
Do not install a transceiver module connected with a fiber into a fiber port. To connect an optical
fiber, first install the transceiver module in the fiber port and then connect the fiber.
•
Insert a dust plug into any open fiber port.
•
Never bend or curve a fiber excessively. The bend radius of a fiber must be not less than 10 cm
(3.94 in).
•
Keep the fiber end clean.
To connect the AP to the network by using fibers, install a transceiver module on the AP, and then
insert the fiber connector to the transceiver module.
The fiber port on the AP supports only LC connectors. Purchase a transceiver module yourself. For
more information about transceiver modules, see "
Appendix C Optional transceiver modules
To connect an Ethernet fiber port on the AP:
1.
Make sure the transceiver module bail latch engages the knob on the top of the transceiver
module. Hold the module by its two sides and push the module gently into the port.
2.
Remove the dust cap from the LC connector.
3.
Identify the Rx and Tx ports. Plug the LC connector at one end of one fiber cable into the Rx
port of the AP and the LC connector at the other end into the Tx port of the peer device. Plug
the LC connector at one end of another fiber cable into the Tx port of the AP and the LC
connector at the other end to the Rx port of the peer device.
