Approved PLANET SFP Transceivers
PLANET Web Smart Switch supports both single mode and multi mode SFP transceivers. The following list of approved
PLANET SFP transceivers is correct at the time of publication:
■MGB-SX SFP (1000Base-SX SFP transceiver )
■MGB-LX SFP (1000Base-LX SFP transceiver )
It is recommended to use PLANET SFP transceiver on the Web Smart Switch. If you insert an
SFP transceiver that is not supported, the Web Smart Switch will not recognize it.
Before connecting the other switches, workstation or Media Converter.
1. Make sure both sides of the SFP transceiver are with the same media type, for example: 1000Base-SX to
1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX to 1000Base-LX.
2. Check the fiber-optic cable type that matches the SFP transceiver model.

To connect to 1000Base-SX SFP transceiver, use the multi-mode fiber cable- with one side being male duplex
LC connector type.

To connect to 1000Base-LX SFP transceiver, use the single-mode fiber cable-with one side being male du-
plex LC connector type.
Connect the fiber cable
1. Insert the duplex LC connector on the network cable into 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 on the front of the Web Smart Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is
operating correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link fails. Functioning with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters and setting
the Link mode to "1000 Force" are needed.
Remove the transceiver module
1. Make sure there is no network activity by consulting or checking with the network administrator. Or through the
management interface of the switch/converter (if available) to disable the port in advance.
2. Remove the Fiber Optic Cable gently.
3. Turn the handle of the MGB module to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the lever..
