Making Network Connections 23

Making Fiber Attachments

If the node you intend to connect is located at a remote area, you may use

fiber optics to link this device to the Switch. Fiber attachment to the system

is available through both the DES-108FL and DES-108FX modules. These

modules come with two switched fiber-optic ports, providing fiber links to

remote nodes.

Each fiber-optic port on these two modules comes with two connectors; one

for reception (Rx) and the other for transmission (Tx). They come with

protective covers to protect the lens inside the connectors from dust, which

could alter the intensity of light coming in and out of the port. Do not

remove these protective covers unless you are ready to connect the port.

You will need a 62.5/125

multimode fiber cable in the connection. This

cable can be up to 2 km long.

NOTE:

You do not need to turn off the Switch when

making network connections; just plug the

cables into the ports.

Perform these steps to connect nodes to the Switch using fiber-optic cables,

Depending on the number of nodes and which type of partner you

intend to connect (if 10BASE, select DES-108FL, and if 100BASE,

select DES-108FX) install the appropriate number of DES-108FL

and/or DES-108FX modules into the Switch. Note that each module

provides two switched fiber-optic ports. For information on the

installation procedure, see the

Port Module Installation

section of

Chapter 3,

Installation

Obtain a 62.5/125

multimode fiber cable. Ensure that this cable

does not exceed 2 km.

Select a fiber-optic port to connect the node.
