Setting up & Understanding the Transceiver
This section describes the connections between your Ethernet Optical Transceiver Modules, and the
operation of both units in a system.
Please read fully, the document Lxx-HB for information on installing your
ViaLite
equipment before
commissioning your Ethernet optical link system.
Please note that Ethernet Optical Transceiver Modules with part numbers beginning LSX-E2 and LSX-
E4 are not compatible and cannot be used for form a working fibre optic link.
2.1
Physical Layout of the Transceiver
The plug-in modules are designed for use in PPM’s
ViaLite
19” rack chassis. The module is powered
from the rack chassis backplane and all connections are on the rear panel of the Transceiver (see below).
Connector A is a DIN 41612 backplane connector providing power and Ethernet connectivity to the
module.
Connectors B are FC/APC or E2000/APC receptacles. These are the optical connections for linking the
Transceivers together.

Connector
Type B
Connections on the rear of the Transceiver.
A short RJ45 to D-connector adapter cable (73636) is supplied with the Transceiver module. This is
used to connect a standard Ethernet cable to the module via the respective D-connector situated on the
rear of the
ViaLite
19” rack chassis.
The adapter cable is terminated with a male RJ45 connector. An in-line RJ45 coupler may be used to
connect this cable to a standard male RJ45-terminated Ethernet cable.
The Transceiver module features a set of LEDs, located on the front panel, that convey essential status
information.
