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 Switch. As the
Figure 2-6 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 switches, workstation or Media Converter.
1.
Make sure both side of the SFP transfer are with the same media type, for example: 1000Base-SX to 1000Base-SX,
1000Base-LX to 1000Base-LX.
2.
Check the fiber-optic cable type match the SFP transceiver model.
To connect to 1000Base-SX SFP transfer, use the multi-mode fiber cable- with one side must be male duplex LC
connector type.
To connect to 1000Base-LX SFP transfer, use the single-mode fiber cable-with one side must be male duplex LC
connector type.
Connect the fiber cable
1.
Attach 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 Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating correctly.
4.
Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link failed. Co works with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters, set the Link
mode to "1000 Force" is needed.
