CAUTION: When connecting the optical fiber, observe the following
Do not over-bend the optical fiber. Its curvature radius must be no less than 10
cm (3.9 in).
Ensure that the Tx and Rx ends are correctly connected.
Ensure that the fiber ends are clean.

WARNING: Laser danger: Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the
fiber-optic ports which are connected to lasers. To protect your eyes against
radiation harm, never stare into an open fiber-optic port.
Step 1: Insert the SFP optical module into its corresponding slot.
Step 2: Locate the Rx and Tx ports of the SIC-1FEF interface. Connect them to
another device with two optical fibers: Rx to Tx and Tx to Rx.
Step 3: Power on the router and check the behavior of the LINK LED on the
SIC-1FEF panel. ON means an Rx link is present and OFF means the opposite. In
the latter case, check the line status.
SIC-8AS
Introduction SIC-8AS, the 8-port asynchronous serial interface card, is mainly used to transceive
and process the asynchronous data streams.
SIC-8AS has these features:
Each asynchronous serial port provides a rate up to 115.2 Kbps.
Supports the terminal access service and asynchronous dedicated line.
Serves as the small-/medium-sized ISP dial-up access server when an
asynchronous serial port is used for dial-up.
