w WARNING: Laser danger: Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the fiber-optic ports which are connected to lasers. To protect your eyes against radiation harm, never stare into an open fiber-optic port.

Step 1: Insert the SFP optical module into its corresponding slot.

Step 2: Locate the Rx and Tx ports of the GE interface. Connect them to another

device with two optical fibers: Rx to Tx and Tx to Rx.

Step 3: Check the status of LINK LED on the GE port: ON means the link is connected and OFF means the link is not connected. In the latter case, check the line.

Connecting Ethernet electrical cable

Step 1: (Use a crossover cable for the connection to a PC/router and straight-through cable to a Hub/LAN Switch.) Plug one end of the cable to an Ethernet port of the Router and another end to the desired peer device;

Step 2: Check the status of LINK LED on the module panel: ON means the link is connected and OFF means the link is not connected. In the latter case, check the line

A-8E1 Module

Introduction The 4-port/8-port E1 ATM inverse multiplexing interface module (MIM-IMA-4E1/MIM-IMA-8E1) provides four/eight E1 interfaces that support the IMA (inverse multiplexing for ATM) technology.

The IMA technology combines multiple low-speed links into a group to support a high-speed ATM cell stream: It distributes an ATM cell stream over multiple low-speed E1 links on cell by cell basis at the transmission end and reassembles the cells on the low-speed E1 links into the original stream at the far end. This technology provides a scalable and cost-effective solution, and is commonly used in plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH) networks to transport ATM cells.
