Connecting the MRX/RRX Unit to the MTX Unit
The
MRX/RRX and MTX units are interconnected by up to 10 kilometers
of fiber optic cabling. Two fibers are required to support the long reach connection. The cabling
subsystem must provide a duplex connection with crossover, and must be terminated with Duplex LC
connectors at both ends.

Checking the Installation

1. On the MRX/RRX and MTX units, check that the Power, Host, and Link LEDs are on and that the
Activity LED is blinking. If the Link LED is permanently off, then the cabling between the
MRX/RRX and MTX unit is not installed properly or is defective.
2. For Windows users (2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7), open Device Manager to confirm that the AFI
Series USB 2.0 has installed correctly. Expand the entry for Universal Serial Bus controllers by
clicking the + sign. If the Product Name has been installed correctly, you should find it listed as a
Generic USB Hub .
3. For Mac OS X users, open the System Profiler to confirm that the AFI Series USB 2.0 has installed
correctly. In the left hand column under Hardware, select USB and inspect the right hand panel. If
the Product Name has been installed correctly, you should find it listed as a Hub under the USB
High-Speed Bus/USB Bus.
4. If the AFI Series USB 2.0 is not detected correctly or fails to detect, please consult the
Troubleshooting section.
