After the power is turned on, the cables are connected, and the ADP
subsystem is ready, the Ethernet link LEDs on both the appliance and on the
remote equipment illuminate (green) to indicate the connection. As data is
received (RX) and transmitted (TX), the appropriate LEDs on the appliance
illuminate (yellow).
The IP2255 appliances can accommodate up to four fiber-optic Gigabit
Ethernet NICs.
Fiber-Optic Gigabit Ethernet NIC Connectors and
Cables
To connect the fiber-optic Gigabit Ethernet NIC to other network
components, use a multimode, fiber-optic cable with an LC connector for
each NIC interface. The destination end of the cable can be either LC or SC,
depending on the type of connector required for the destination Gigabit
Ethernet device. You can also use a half-duplex LC-to-LC cable to loop back
the transmit port of an interface to the receive port.
Two LC-to-SC cables are included with each two-port Gigabit Ethernet NIC.
