2) INSTALL MODULE IN CHASSIS AND CONNECT CABLES
a. Carefully slide the module into an open slot in the chassis. Align the module with the
installation guides and ensure that the module is rmly seated against the backplane.
Secure the module by fastening the front panel thumbscrew (push in and turn clockwise
to tighten) to the chassis front. Verify the “Pwr” LED is ON (indicating the chassis is
powered).
b. Insert the 155Mbps OC-3 SFP into Port 1 SFP receptacle on the STM 1 converter.
NOTE: The release latch of the ber transceiver must be in the closed position before
insertion.
c. The STM-1e interface on the converter utilizes mini BNC connectors. When connecting
to full size BNC connectors use the supplied adapter cables.
d. Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode ber cable to the ber transceiver
port on the STM 1 converter. It is important to ensure that the transmit (Tx) is attached
to the receive side of the device at the other end and the receive (Rx) is attached to the
transmit side.
WARNING: Do not attempt to remove the STM-1e device from the SFP port on the module.
This will cause damage to the module and the STM-1e device.
