Installing an SFP Transceiver
To install an SFP transceiver in an AT-MC1008/GB converter, perform the
following procedure:
Note
The transceiver can be hot-swapped; you do not need to power off
the media converter to install a transceiver. However, always
remove the cables before removing the transceiver.
Note
When an SFP transceiver establishes a link, the corresponding
twisted pair port changes its MissingLink state. A link established
on an SFP port always takes priority over an existing link on a
twisted pair port.
Note
You must install the SFP transceiver before you connect cables to
it.
1. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
Caution
An SFP transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure
to observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
transceiver.
2. Remove the plug from the SFP slot.
3. Locate the label on the transceiver and turn it so that the label is on
top and the alignment groove is on the bottom.
