THROUGH FIBER UPLINK

To connect fiber cable from E-FX-HB-xx00 10BASE-FL uplink adapter to network:

1.Locate 10BASE-FL uplink adapter installed at E-FL-HB-0x00 back. (See page 4.)

2.Locate or build 10BASE-FL compliant fiber cable with male two- stranded TX to RX connectors at both ends. (See page 14.)

TX	TX	TX	RX
RX	RX	RX	TX

3.Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at one end of cable to TX and RX female connectors, respectively, on E-FL-HB-0x00 10BASE-FL uplink adapter.

4.Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at other end of cable to RX and TX connectors, respectively, on 802.3 compliant 10BASE-FL network device.

5.Set SWITCH 1 (located on the 10BASE-FL uplink adapter) to enable or to disable the LinkALERT™ function.

SWITCH		(UP) Enables the LinkALERT™ function. (DOWN)
1	2	Enables standard Link Integrity Test. Default is
		LinkALERT™ enabled (UP).
		NOTE: SWITCH 2 is not used.

NOTE: The LinkAlert™ feature allows each port to pass network link faults over the port link. If the port does not detect a good link on one side, the port disables all transmission (including active-idle) on the other side.
