Installation
The front and the rear modules are delivered together as a set:
8949MDA-CXF front module with the 8900WFR-XFR rear module or
8949MDA-SXF front module with 8900WFR-XFR rear module. Fiber optic
submodules are optional and must be ordered separately. Fiber optic sub-

The 8949MDA-CXF and 8949MDA-SXF front modules can be plugged in
and removed from a GeckoFlex frame with power on. When power is
applied to the module, LED indicators reflect the initialization process (see

CAUTION Use anti-static precautions when installing and removing the optional fiber
optic submodule, see

If there is no 8900NET (Net Card) module in the GeckoFlex frame for
remote monitoring and configuration, you will need to configure the
module using the local onboard controls before installing the front module.
Local configuration of the 8949MDA modules consists of two DIP switches
(S1 and S2) highlighted in

local controls. A summary of Local and Remote (web page and Newton
