Installing and Cabling the 10BaseFL Mod-MAC (DLXFL)

This document describes the 10BaseFL Mod-MAC, an Ethernet module designed for the DIGITAL MultiSwitch 612EX. It provides single-port connectivity between the MultiSwitch and a 10BaseFL network device using fiber optic media, operating at 850 nm over distances up to 2km. The module features distinct transmit (1) and receive (2) connectors.

Key installation steps include ensuring the module is not hot-swappable (requiring power to be off), removing dust caps, inserting the module into an available slot, securing it with two Phillips-head screws, and connecting the fiber optic cables to the appropriate transmit and receive ports.

Operational indicators include an Activity LED that flickers with network traffic, and a Port Status LED which is off if no connection exists or blinks if the port is management-disabled. The document advises consulting the DIGITAL MultiSwitch 612EX Installation and Configuration manual for troubleshooting and additional product information, also providing web links to Digital Equipment Corporation's network product pages.
