3.6 CONNECTING THE 5G106-06 TO THE NETWORK

The following sections describe how to make the fiber optic cable connections.

3.6.1 SC Fiber Connections to the Network

The fixed front panel ports 3 through 6 have an SC style connector used to connect to the Gigabit

Ethernet network. The GPIM-01, GPIM-08, and the GPIM-09 also have an SC style connector

used to connect to the Gigabit Ethernet network. Enterasys Networks offers fiber optic cables that

use SC style connectors which are keyed to ensure proper crossover of the transmit and receive

fibers (see Figure 3-10).

Figure 3-10 Fiber Port Designations

NOTE: An odd number of crossovers (preferably one) must be maintained between like

devices so that the transmit port of one device is connected to the receive port of the

other device and vice versa.
