Next, connect the fiber optic cables to the modem. (*Note: It is
recommended that the lettered fiber cable be connected to the “TX”
fiber optic connection on the modem.) The Safety LED should turn on
if the fiber optic cables are not connected to the antenna. Connecting
the fiber optic cables to the antenna activates the lasers and should
turn the Safety LED off. Expect a delay of a few seconds before the
Safety LED turns off after connecting the fiber optic cables. If the
Safety LED remains lit, refer to the Safety LED Troubleshooting
section on page 9 for more information on how to turn the Safety LED
off. To complete the alignment process, refer to the Installation Guide.
After plugging in the modems at both sites, and if the alignment was
completed properly, the Fiber Optic Link should light up at both
locations as shown in the graphic below. The Data LEDs flicker yellow
during data transmission. Refer to the Antenna Alignment section of
the Antenna Installation Guide or the Fiber Optic Link Troubleshooting
section on page 10 if there are any problems with attaining the laser
signal.
