functionality and does not require an external transceiver device. In addition to Partition (PART) and Receive (RX) LEDs, a LINK LED indicates proper connectivity with the remote device.

NOTE: The RPM-FST/FSC circuit board contains a six pin jumper which controls the intensity of the transmitted signal. By default, the jumper is placed across pins 1 and 2. The jumper may be set as follows to accommodate distances of up to 4 km:

1 - 2

0 - 2 km

3 - 4

0.5 - 3 km*

5 - 6

1.5 - 4 km*

When distances of less than 2 km are needed, the jumper should be placed across pins 1 and 2.

*When fiber cable distances of more than 2 km are selected, the minimum cable length must also be increased, as shown in the table above.
