Chapter 6 Cabling the Line Ports and Completing the Installation

Connecting the line ports to the network

To cable the SCE 2000 line port, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Take the appropriate fiber optic cable and plug it into the appropriate RJ-45 FE port on the front panel of the SCE 2000.

Make sure to push on the connector until you hear a click, which indicates that the connector is fully inserted and secured in the receptacle. Always make sure that you insert the connector completely into the socket.

Step 2 Verify that the link LED is green.

If the link LED does not light, try removing the network cable plug and reinserting it firmly into the module socket.

Testing Connectivity: Examining Link LEDs and Counters

If the SCE 2000 platform has been powered up, test now to verify that connectivity has been established on all links. If the SCE 2000 platform is not powered up, perform this step after starting the SCE 2000 platform.

Examining the Link LEDs

The Link LED must be green in order to verify that an active connection exists.

The Active LED (if flashing green) indicates that traffic is being received and/or transmitted by the SCE 2000.

In receive-only topologies, the Active LED indicates that packets are being received. In this mode, there is no transmission of packets.
