To clean the fiber ends:
Be sure that the fiber cable’s SC/APC connectors are clean and free of dust or oils.
You will need lint-free cloths, isopropyl alcohol, and compressed air
1. Moisten a lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol.
2. Gently wipe the fiber end with the moistened cloth.
3. Using a dry lint-free cloth, gently wipe the fiber end.
4. Spray the compressed air away from the connector for a few seconds to clean out
the nozzle and then use it to completely dry the connector.
To connect the fiber cables:
The fiber cable is labeled with either 1 or 2, or is color-coded. For proper connection
between the Main Hub ports and the Expansion Hub ports, refer to the numbering or
color-coded connections you recorded when installing the Expansion Hub(s).
If the fiber jumper is labeled with
1 or 2:
1. Connect 1 to DOWNLINK on Expansion Hub.
The
DL STATUS LED should turn green as soon as you connect the fiber. If it does
not, there is a downlink problem. Make sure you are connecting the correct cable
to the port.
2. Connect 2 to UPLINK on Expansion Hub.
The
UL STATUS LED will turn green on the first Main Hub communication. It
may take up to 20 seconds to establish communication.
The Expansion Hub’s
E-HUB STATUS LED will turn green when the Main Hub
sends it the frequency band command.
If the
UL STATUS and E-HUB STATUS LEDs do not turn green/green, check the
Main Hub LEDs. See page 7-17, item 2 in Table 7-5.
If the fiber jumper is color-coded (for example, “blue” or “red”):
1. Connect “blue” to DOWNLINK on Expansion Hub.
The
DL STATUS LED should turn green as soon as you connect the fiber. If it does
not, there is a downlink problem. Make sure you are connecting the correct cable
to the port.
2. Connect “red” to UPLINK on Expansion Hub.
The
UL STATUS LED will turn green on the first Main Hub communication. It
may take up to 20 seconds to establish communication.
The Expansion Hub’s
E-HUB STATUS LED will turn green when the Main Hub
sends it the frequency band command.
If the
UL STATUS and E-HUB STATUS LEDs do not turn green/green, check the
Main Hub LEDs. See page 7-17, item 2 in Table 7-5.
