Chapter 2:Hardware Installation

Installing a FiberLinX Module involves the following steps:

1) Configuring the FiberLinX Module via its eight-position Dip

switch for the following:

lHalf/Full Duplex setting (data ports only),

ldesignating the management traffic port,

lhost/remote or standalone operation;

2) Installation of a PowerChassis/100-Series chassis;

3) Installation of the FiberLinX Module into the above-mentioned

PowerChassis; and,

4) Selecting a crossover or pass-through connection for the twisted

pair data port.

Configuring FiberLinX Modules

FiberLinX Modules have an eight-position Dip switch, located at position

S2 (shown below), for configuring the module.
