Carefully plug the fiber optic cables through the access slot

on the front of the base and into the fiber optic connectors

located on the front of the mast.

Two of the cables are marked UPPER and two are marked

LOWER; plug the two UPPER cables into the connectors

marked U on the mast, and plus the two LOWER cables into

the connectors marked L.

Either UPPER cable can be plugged into either of the

U connectors; either LOWER cable can be plugged into

either of the L connectors.

When completely plugged in, the outer flange on the cable

should be flush with the surface of the mast.

Always use the flange on the cable to connect or disconnect

the fiber optic cables; never pull or push the fiber optic cable

using the collar or the cable.
