Chapter 3 Quick Start Guide
3.1 Hardware Set Up
For first use, plug the main power cable into the back panel connector, and then plug the other end into an AC wall
receptacle. Flip the power switch on the back panel to the ON (I) position. The unit will
now be in the “Standby” mode,
and the front panel standby button should glow amber.

Attach the polarization-maintaining (PM) loopback fiber optic cable between the Laser Out and Laser In PC/FC connectors on
the front panel. Be sure to clean both ends of the fiber as described in the Maintenance Section of this manual. For the MX10C
series: attach the SMA loopback RF cable between the Amplifier RF Out
and Modulator RF In SMA connectors on the front
panel. (This instruction does not apply to transmitters in the MX40C series, as these do not have an Amplifier RF Out port.)

MX10C series. This cable is not installed on the
MX40C series.
Insert the key into the interlock switch and turn it towards the unlock symbol ( ). This allows the laser to be turned on, but the
LASER ON indicator will not glow green until the laser is actually turned on by the touchscreen button. Turn on the unit by
pressing the amber standby button on the front panel which will then turn green to indicate the unit is fully on. The touchscreen
display will come up with a boot screen for about 5 seconds and then go to the home page. The unit will initialize in the factory
default state with all functions OFF.
