Fiber Compatibility Indications
You must use the proper fiber cable for your transceivers. Each transceiver indicates its fiber compatibility, singlemode or multimode, at
•Multimode — The Rate LEDs blink once.
•Singlemode — The Rate LEDs blink twice.
NTo determine the fiber cable type, observe the cable jacket. Typically, singlemode fiber cable has a yellow jacket and multimode fiber cable has an orange jacket.
NAll transceivers in the system must be the same model (all singlemode or all multimode). Mixed transmission mode units will not work together.
System operation
After the transmitting and receiving units and all of their connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are encountered, ensure all traditional and fiber cables are routed and connected properly.
