Connecting the 6G306-06 to the Network
3-18 Installation
Since the GPIM-01, GPIM-08, and GPIM-09 all have the SC fiber connector, the directions for
connectivity are the same, except for when the GPIM-09 is connected to multimode fiber. Refer to
Section 3.6.2 before connecting the GPIM-09 to multimode fiber.
3.6.2 GPIM-09 Connection Using Multimode Cable
To connect the GPIM-09 to the network using multimode fiber, perform the following steps:
1. Connect Launch Mode Conditioning cable to the multimode fiber on both ends of the multimode
cable, before connecting the SmartSwitch with a GPIM-09 to the multimode fiber cabling. See
Figure 3-14.
Figure 3-14 GPIM-09 Launch Mode Conditioning Cable Connection
2. Once the Launch Mode Conditioning cable is connected to the ends of the multimode fiber
cable, proceed to Section 3.6.3 to complete the installation to the GPIM-09 device.
NOTE: When using multimode fiber cable for the GPIM-09 (long wave length
transceiver), connect the Launch Mode Conditioning cable as detailed in the following
procedure (Section 3.6.2). The following procedure is not needed when connecting
single mode fiber cable to the GPIM-09. Launch Mode Conditioning cables are available
from Enterasys Networks.
