Note
Make sure that the optical connectors are clean before making the connections. Contaminated connectors
can damage the fiber and cause data errors.

Always insert the network connector completely into the socket. A secure connection is especially
important when you are establishing a connection between a module and a long distance (1.24 miles or
2 km) network or a module and a suspected highly attenuated network. If the link LED does not light,
try removing the network cable plug and reinserting it firmly into the module socket. It is possible that
dirt or skin oils have accumulated on the plug faceplate (around the optical-fiber openings), generating
significant attenuation and reducing the optical power levels below threshold levels so that a link cannot
be made.
