Installing the SFP Transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP transceiver into an SFP slot.
The SFP transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can
plug in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP port without having to
power down the Industrial Gigabit Media Converter as Figure 3-1 shows

Note
It is recommended to use PLANET SFPs on the Indus-
trial Gigabit Media Converter. If you insert an SFP trans-
ceiver that is not supported, the Industrial Gigabit Media
Converter will not recognize it.
