Connecting the Network Side Interface to the SCE 1000
To connect the network side cable to the SCE 1000:
Step 1 Take the fiber optic cable that is connected toward the network, and plug it into Gigabit
Ethernet Network port on the front panel of the SCE 1000.
Make sure to push on the connector until you hear a click, which indicates that the
connector is fully inserted and secured in the receptacle. Always make sure that you
insert the connector completely into the socket.
Rx and Tx are clearly marked on the front panel of the SCE 1000 to assist in preventing
incorrect connector insertion.
Step 2 Verify that the link LEDs are green.
If the link LED does not light, try removing the network cable plug and reinserting it
firmly into the module socket.
Note
In bump-in-the-wire topology, you connect both the Rx and Tx fibers. In receive-only topologies, using
an external splitter, connect only the Rx fibers to the SCE 1000.
Testing Connectivity: Examining Link LEDs and Counters
Examining the LEDs
The GBE Link LED must be green in order to verify that an active connection exists.
The GBE Rx and Tx LEDs (if flashing green) indicate that traffic is being received or transmitted
by the SCE 1000, respectively.
Note that in an inline topology, the Rx and Tx LEDs indicate that packets are being
received/transmitted by the SCE 1000.
In optical splitter topologies, the Rx LEDs are the sole indicators. The Tx LEDs do not “blink”,
since the Tx is not connected to the port in this topology.
