Interlogix IFS SFP Transceiver - Manual (Page 7)

Installing an IFS SFP Module
This section describes how to insert an IFS SFP transceiver into a mini-GBIC
slot.
The IFS SFP transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can insert
and remove an IFS SFP transceiver in any IFS network equipment with a mini-
GBIC port without having to power down the switch or media converter. As
shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Inserting an IFS SFP tranceiver
Install the IFS SFP into an IFS network switch or media converter before
connecting a cable coming from another switch, workstation or media converter.
1. Make sure both pieces of network equipment that you are connecting
together are using the same media type SFP. For example: 100Base-FX to
100Base-FX or 1000Base-SX to 1000Base-SX.
2. Check to make sure that the fiber-optic cable type matches the SFP
transceiver model.
• S20 Series and S25 Series optics operate with multimode OM1, OM2
or OM3 fiber. LC type fiber connectors are required.
• S30 Series and S35 Series optics operate with single mode fiber. LC
type fiber connectors are required.
Connecting the fiber cable
1. Insert the duplex LC connector from the network fiber cable into the SFP
transceiver.
