2.2.3 Installing the SFP transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP transceiver into an SFP slot.
The SFP transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can plug-in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP port
without having to power down the WGS3 Layer 3 Switch. As the Figure 2-7 appears.

Approved PLANET SFP Transceivers
PLANET WGS3 Layer 3 Switch supports both Single mode and Multi-mode SFP transceiver. The following list of approved
PLANET SFP transceivers is correct at the time of publication:
■
MGB-SX SFP (1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver )
■
MGB-LX SFP (1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver )
It recommends using PLANET SFPs on the Switch. If you insert a SFP transceiver that is not
supported, the Switch will not recognize it.
Before connect the other WGS3 Layer 3 Switches, workstation or Media Converter.
1. Make sure both side of the SFP transceiver are with the same media type, for example: 1000Base-SX to 1000Base-SX,
1000Bas-LX to 1000Base-LX.
2. Check the fiber-optic cable type match the SFP transceiver model.
