GigWorks MKII-16 Switch Model MKII-BASE16

Installation
Most NL_Port connections to the Switch are via Hubs or directly to storage
devices such as JBODs and disc arrays. Connect the transmit SC fiber optic
connector on the FL_Port to the receive SC fiber optic connector on the
NL_Port. Connect the receive SC fiber optic connector on the FL_Port to
the transmit SC fiber optic connector on the NL_Port.
In some cases you may need to connect a loop of NL_Ports to the Switch
without the use of a Hub. Note in Figure 2-3 that these NL_Ports are
connected in a loop from the transmit side of an FL_Port on the Switch,
through each NL_Port in the loop, then back to the receive side of the
original FL_Port on the Switch. Connect the transmit connector on an
FL_Port to the receive connector on the first NL_Port in the loop. Continue
to connect each NL_Port in the loop, transmit to receive. Then connect the
transmit connector on the last NL_Port in the loop to the receive connector
of the same FL_Port on the Switch that you connected to the first NL_Port
in the loop.
Copper Connections
HSSDC connectors are duplex cable assemblies. That is, both the transmit
and receive contacts are part of the same keyed plug assembly. You can’t
plug them in wrong. Connect one end of the cable to the Loop device and
the other end to a port on the FL_Ports on the Switch.
