To connect the adapter to a multimode fiber network, do the following steps:
1. Insert the male fiber LC connector of the fiber cable into the adapter LC connector.
2. Insert the male fiber LC connector of the other end of the cable into the network switch.
Notes:
v The adapter requires an 850 nm multimode fiber optic cable. See Table 42 on page 136.
v If your switch has an SC receptacle, you need an LC-SC converter cable.
v It is necessary to configure an IP network interface to enable the adapter to detect a link and to
illuminate the link LED.
