PA-2FE-TX and PA-2FE-FX Two-Port Fast Ethernet Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

Chapter 1 Overview
LEDs
Note PA-2FE-FX uses 62.5/125-micron multimode fiber with an SC connector.
LEDs
The PA-2FE has seven LEDS; an ENABLED LED, and LINK, TRANSMIT, and RECEIVE LEDs for
each port. The LEDs are shown in Figure 1-4.

After system initialization, the ENABLED LED goes on to indicate that the PA-2FE is ready for
operation. The following conditions must be met before the ENABLED LED goes on:
• The PA-2FE is correctly connected and receiving power.
• A PA-2FE–equipped card or chassis contains a valid microcode version that has been successfully
downloaded.
• The bus recognizes the PA-2FE.
If any of these conditions are not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the ENABLED LED
does not go on. Table 1-2 lists LED colors and indicator functions.
Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts
The two interface receptacles on the PA-2FE are a single RJ-45 connection (on the PA-2FE-TX) or an
SC-type optical-fiber connection (on the PA-2FE-FX). Each connection supports IEEE 802.3u interfaces
compliant with the 100BASE-X and 10/100BASE-T standards. The RJ-45 connection does not require
an external transceiver.
