Unpacking and Installing Your ELS100-16TX

Caution: An odd number of crossovers (preferably one) must be maintained between devices so that the transmit port of one device is connected to the receive port of the other device and vice versa.

If the ﬁber optic cable being used has SC style connectors that do not resemble MIC style connectors, or has SC connectors on one end and a different type on the other, such as ST connectors, ensure that the proper crossing over occurs.

Fiber Optic Network Connection

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.

Caution: 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. 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.

2.Insert one end of the SC connector into the EPIM-100FX installed in the ELS100-16TX. See Figure 2-7.

3.At the other end of the ﬁber optic cable, attach the SC connector to the other device.
