Removing The Module - Planet Networking & Communication FRT-415N User Manual

Before connecting the other switches, workstation or media converter,
1. Make sure both sides of the SFP transceiver are with the same media type or WDM pair; for example,
100BASE-FX to 100BASE-FX and 100BASE-BX20-U to 100BASE-BX20-D.
2. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches the SFP transceiver model.
 To connect to MFB-FX SFP transceiver, use the multi-mode fiber cable, with one side being the
male duplex LC connector type.
 To connect to MFB-F20/F40/F60/FA20/FB20 SFP transceiver, use the single-mode fiber cable, with
one side being the male duplex LC connector type.
Connecting the fiber cable
1. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable to 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 of the switch/converter. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is
operating correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link fails. It functions with some fiber-NICs or media
converters; setting the Link mode to "100 Force" is needed.

2.2.2 Removing the Module

1. Please make sure there is no network activity by console or check with the network administrator. You
can access the management interface of the fiber router to disable the port in advance.
2. Remove the Fiber Optic Cable gently.
3. Turn the handle of the MFB module/mini GBIC SFP module to horizontal.
4. Pull out the module gently through the handle.
Never pull out the module without pulling the lever or the push bolts on the
module. Directly pulling out the module with force could damage the module
and SFP module slot of the device.
