Magnum14E Media Converters Installation and User Guide (10/02)

3.Connect the Transmit (TX) port (light colored post) on the Magnum 14E to the Receive (RX) port of the remote device. Begin with the color-coded strand of the cable

for this first “Transmit-to-Receive” connection.

4.Connect the Receive (RX) port (dark colored post) on the 14E to the Transmit (TX) port of the remote device. Use the non-color coded fiber strand for this.

5.The LINK LED corresponding to the fiber port, on the front of the product, will illuminate when a proper connection has been established at both ends (and when power is ON in the units at each end). If LINK is not lit after cable connection, the normal cause is improper cable polarity. Swap the fiber cables on the product connector to remedy this situation.

6.Because of standard Link Pass Through feature the LINK indication will not be present unless LINK is made for the cables on both sides.
