Connecting the BRIM to the Network

4.1.2.2 Fiber Connection: SC to ST

Follow the directions in this section if you are connecting a non-Cabletron Systems device to the FE-100FX using different types of connectors such as SC to ST.

The physical communication link consists of two strands of fiber optic cabling: the transmit and the receive. Connect the transmit strand from the applicable port on the module to the receive port of the fiber optic Ethernet device at the other end of the segment. Connect the receive strand of the applicable port on the module to the transmit port of the fiber optic Ethernet device.

Label the fiber optic cable to indicate which fiber is receive and which is transmit. Cabletron Systems fiber optic cable is labeled so that one fiber is labeled 1, and the other fiber is labeled 2 at both ends of the cable. If the cable was not purchased from Cabletron Systems, label the cable as described above.

Connect a fiber optic link segment as follows:

Do not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands, and do not let

!the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants.

C AUT IO N Contamination of the ends causes problems in data transmissions. If the ends become contaminated, clean them with alcohol using a soft, clean, lint free cloth.

1.Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiber optic ports on the applicable port on the module and from the ends of the connectors on each fiber strand.

2.Attach the fiber labeled 1 to the receive port on the FE-100FX. See Figure 4-3.

3.Attach the fiber labeled 2 to the transmit port on the FE-100FX.

4.At the other end of the fiber optic cable, attach the fiber labeled 1 to the transmit port of the device.
