Verify that you are using the appropriate type of fiber optic cabling.

Verify that the operating specifications of the converter’s fiber optic
port are compatible with the fiber optic port on the remote end-
node.

The fiber optic port has two SC connectors, as shown in
Figure 10 on page 42. Each connects to a separate fiber strand.
One is for receiving data and the other is for transmitting data.
When connecting a fiber optic cable to the port, be sure that the
receiver fiber connector is connected to the transmitter connector
on the remote end-node, and the transmitter fiber connector is
connected to the receiver connector on the remote node.
