2 Make Hardware Connections 2.1 Connect the WAN To make the ES-315-F’s fiber-optic connection you need to: 1 Open the ES-315-F. 2 Install an SFP transceiver. 3 Attach the wire mounts. 4 Insert a fiber-optic cable through a bushing and wrap it around the wire mounts.
2 Lift the cover. 2.1.2 Install A Transceiver The ES-315-F supports MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant SFP transceivers. Inside the ES-315-F, there is a slot for an SFP transceiver with an LC-type connector. Please observe the following warnings when working with transceivers.

• SFP transceivers are equipped with a Class 1 laser, which emits invisible radiation when the device or system is pow- ered up. To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber-optic transceiver’s connectors. • Do not remove and install an SFP transceiver more often than is absolutely necessary.

ES-315-F Quick Start Guide 4 Insert the SFP transceiver into the slot until it snaps into place. Your SFP transceiver has a mechanism that prevents incorrect insertion. Do NOT force or twist the SFP transceiver into a slot. 5 Lock the transceiver into place (if your transceiver has a locking mechanism).

Page 11
ES-315-F Quick Start Guide 2 POWER: take the following steps to connect the included power adaptor. • Choose a hole in the ES-315-F to use for the power cable. If you did not already cover the hole with a bushing when you inserted the fiber-optic cable, do so now.
Use only the power adaptor that came with the ES-315-F. 2.3 Check the LEDs Look at the LEDs (lights) on the front of the ES-315-F. • The PWR/SYS LED turns green if the power is on. • The LAN 1, 2, 3 or 4 and WAN LEDs turn on when the corre- sponding ports are properly connected, and blink when there is traffic.
