the eyes; use with caution. For additional safety, plug the attached dust
caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber cable is unplugged.
NOTES:
•
You can connect the transmitter to one or more receivers in one of three
ways:
•
One way (transmitter-Tx-to-receiver-Rx) only — Connect fiber
cable
15a
(from transmitter connector
ä
) only.
•
Two way (transmitter to receiver and return) — Connect fiber
cable
15a
(from transmitter connector
ä
) and fiber cable
15b
back to the
transmitter (connector
è
). See figure 5.
•
One way (transmitter to receiver) with daisy
chain (receiver to receiver) — Connect fiber
cable
15a
from a fiber optic source and cable
15b
to
the next receiver in the daisy chain. See figure 6.
Set each receiver in the daisy chain to daisy
chain mode (Mode DIP switch 1 up.)
Up to 10 properly-configured receivers can
be connected in a daisy chain to a single
transmitter.
