5. Connect the cables to the SFPs:
CAUTION: A 50-micron cable should not be bent to a radius less than 2 inches under full tensile
load and 1.2 inches with no tensile load. Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables
because they are easily overtightened.
a. Orient a cable connector so that the key (the ridge on one side of the connector) aligns with
the slot in the SFP.
b. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks (see Figure 15 on
page 74).
The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a cable does not install easily,
check the orientation.
For instructions specific to the cable type, see the cable manufacturer’s documentation.
6. Repeat step 5 for each remaining SFP.
Logging into the MP Router via a serial connection
The initial connection to the MP Router requires a serial connection. Follow these steps to establish a
serial connection and log in to the MP Router:
1. Verify that the MP Router is powered on and that POST is complete by verifying that all power
LED indicators are displaying a steady green light. See Figure 11 on page 52and Figure 12 on
page 56 for power LED locations.
2. Use the serial cable included in the MP Router shipping carton to connect the console port on
the chassis to an RS-232 port on a computer workstation.
NOTE: If necessary, the adapter on the serial cable can be removed to allow for an RJ-45 serial
connection to the computer workstation or patch panel.
3. Access the MP Router using a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on
Windows 95, Windows 2000, or Windows NT
®
, or TERM in a UNIX
®
environment).
4. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation (such as synchronization
programs).
5. For a Windows environment, use HyperTerminal (or a similar application), to configure the port
settings as follows:
•Bits per second: 9600
•Databits: 8
•Parity: None
•Stop bits: 1
•Flow control: None
6. To configure port settings in a UNIX environment, enter:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
