CANOGA PERKINS N525 Ethernet Termination Service Unit - Manual (Page 16)

2-6 Ethernet Termination Service Unit
Caution: To avoid damaging the fiber end-surface or connector, use extreme
care when installing or removing cables.
8. Connecting Ethernet Cables to UTP Interface Modules:
a. Plug the shielded Ethernet Cable into the UTP Connector on the Interface
Module.
b. Be sure the locking tab properly seats.
c. If the locking tab is broken or missing, replace the cable.
Caution: To maintain Lighting and Power Shorting protection, always use
Ethernet Cables with a proper Ground Shield cable and connector.
9. Canoga Perkins recommends you label the cables with the circuit number or other
identifier and the signal direction on optical cables (TX or RX).
10. Canoga Perkins recommends that you determine and record optical link attenuation
and transmission power before starting normal link traffic. The fiber optic cable optical
attenuation and Laser output power determine receive optical power level at the
receiving device. Reductions in Laser power or increases in optical loss on the fiber
optic cable can cause degraded performance and link outages. For details on link
attenuation and Laser output power, see Chapter 4.
Power-Up and Front Panel Functions
The LEDs on the front panel show the system and port status. The STA and CFG LEDs
display management status. Interface Module has two, three or six LEDs; actual number is
dependent on Interface Module type.
