GigaBit SX/LX to TX Tap LED Indicators • PWR 1/ PWR 2: Main and Redundant Power. If the Tap is deployed with both power supplies, both LEDs illuminate when the Tap is plugged in. If an LED is off, this indicates that the corresponding power supply is not functioning. • Link/Activity Indicators: If a good link is established, the LED illuminates a steady green. If there is current activity on this link, the LED flashes.
GigaBit SX/LX to TX Tap Connecting to the Network 1. Connect Network Port A to the appropriate network device using a Duplex LC cable. 2. Connect Network Port B to the appropriate network device using a Duplex LC cable. 3. Verify that the Tap Network Ports are cabled in-line between two devices. Note:_________________________________________________________________ The use of Singlemode (8.5µm) or Multimode (50µm or 62.5µm) cabling is determined by the model purchased.
