Network Connection Using Fiber-Optic Cable

To connect the device using fiber-optic cable to the network, perform the following steps:
NOTE: If connecting the device with a GPIM-09 to the network using multimode
fiber-optic cables, refer to
1. Remove any protective covers from the fiber-optic ports and from the ends of the connectors.
WARNING: The GPIM-08 and GPIM-09 use Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical
instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output
increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed
from the network adapter.
NOTE: To prevent contamination, leave the protective covers in place when the
connectors or ports are not in use.
Do not touch the ends of the fiber-optic strands, and do not let the ends come in contact
with dust, dirt, or other contaminants. Contamination of the ends causes problems in
data transmission.
If the ends become contaminated, blow the surfaces clean with a canned duster. A fiber
port cleaning swab saturated with optical-grade isopropyl alcohol may also be used to
clean the ends.
