❒ Verify that you are using the appropriate type of fiber optic cabling.
❒ Verify that the operating specifications of the converter’s fiber optic
port are compatible with the fiber optic port on the remote end-
node.

Figure 10 on page 42. Each connects to a separate fiber strand.
One is for receiving data and the other is for transmitting data.
When connecting a fiber optic cable to the port, be sure that the
receiver fiber connector is connected to the transmitter connector
on the remote end-node, and the transmitter fiber connector is
connected to the receiver connector on the remote node.
