Fiber Cable When connecting fiber cable to a 100BASE FX port on the Device Server be sure the correct type ST SC or WDM connector is used Follow the steps below to properly connect fiber cable 1 Remove and keep the ST SC WDM port s rubber cover When not connected to a fiber cable the rubber cover should be replaced to protect the optics Check that the fiber terminators are clean You can clean the cable plugs by wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little ethanol Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic cables will impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port Connect one end of the cable to the ST SC WDM port on the Device Server and the other end to the ST SC WDM port on the other device Note When inserting the cable be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated 4 Check the corresponding LED on the Device Server to be sure that the connection is valid Refer to the LED chart in next section mine Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the fiber port when no cable is connected avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into the open apertures 14 DB9 Male Connector Pin Assignments 6 1 7 2 9 5 ee e duplex Full Half Direction duplex duplex 1 DCD OUT RX RX DAT
