test diagram takes the 8-port product of the MIEN6208 series switch as an
example.
3.3.3. Fiber ports testing
The device with the fiber interface is composed of the fiber chain network
shown in Figure 3-5 (TX is connected to another RX, and RX is connected to
another TX). Each of the copper interfaces of each device is connected to the
test computer through a direct-connected network cable and sends ping
commands to each other. Both parties can correctly ping each other without
losing packets. At the same time, the LINK lamp corresponding to the optical
port should flash, indicating that the two optical ports tested are working
properly. Figure in below shows the optical port test of the MIEN6208 series
switch.
3.4. Network topology
Normally, this equipment requires three or more switches of this series to
be connected to form a ring.The most typical application example of ring
network technology is in below:
