1. Make sure both sides of the SFP transceiver are with the same media type, for example: 1000BASE-SX to 1000BASE-SX,
1000Bas-LX to 1000BASE-LX.
2. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches the SFP transceiver model.
 To connect to 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver, use the multi-mode fiber cable, with one side being male duplex LC
connector type.
 To connect to 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver, use the single-mode fiber cable, with one side being male duplex LC
connector type.
 Connecting the fiber cable
1. Insert the duplex LC connector on the network cable into the SFP transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device – switches with SFP installed, fiber NIC on a workstation or a Media
Converter.
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot on the front of the GEPON OLT. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating
correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link fails. Works well with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters. Set the Link
mode to “1000 Force” if needed.
 Removing the transceiver module
1. Make sure there is no network activity by consulting or checking with the network administrator. Or through the
management interface of the switch/converter (if available), disable the port in advance.
2. Remove the Fiber Optic Cable gently.
3. Turn the handle of the MGB module to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the handle.

Pulling Out the SFP Transceiver
Never pull out the module without pulling the handle or the push bolts on the module.
Directly pulling out the module with force could damage the module and SFP module slot of
the GEPON OLT.
