Note: One strand of the duplex fiber optic cable is coded using color
bands at regular intervals; you must use the color-coded strand on
the associated ports at each end of the fiber optic segment.
3. Connect the Transmit (TX) port (light colored post) on the Magnum Media
Converter to the Receive (RX) port of the remote device. Begin with the color-
coded strand of the cable for this first TX-to-RX connection.
4. Connect the Receive (RX) port (dark-colored post) on the product to the Transmit
(TX) port of the remote device. Use the non-color coded fiber strand for this.
5. The LINK LED corresponding to the fiber port on the front of the product will
illuminate (for standard non-Link-Pass-through models) when a proper
connection has been established at both ends (and when power is ON in the units
at each end). If LINK is not lit after cable connection, the normal cause is
improper cable polarity. Swap the fiber cables on the product connector to
remedy this situation.
6. For the Link Pass-through model, connection is the same except that the LINK
indication will not be present unless LINK is made for the cables on both sides.
