Assemble and Disassemble

4. Install and uninstall transmitter module
4.1 AssembleInstall

1) Check pin-socket module pin type connector on the rear panel, prior to installation to
ensureand make sure that no pins are bent.
2) Insert the module in the rack along the guide slot.Alignment slot, along the guide slot
to put module into the slot of the rack.
3) Tight the screws on the front panel.
Note: The module is powered, LED lights will flash for about 2 seconds, indicating that
 the module is self-test.
4) If you need to install other another module, repeat steps 1 to 3.
5) Using optical power meter to measure RF level that will be input to module, to ensure
the access RF level r is within the predetermined range
Warning: input optical signal should avoid prolonged than +2 dBm, too high input signal
will damage the laser.
6) Using suitable cable to connect to the corresponding RF IN output port on rear panel.
7) Verify that the optical fiber port and module connector are matched. Before
installation, ensure that the end face of the optical fiber and module connections is
clean.
NOTE: When using the wrong connector head, it will damage the fiber end faces and
reduce the performance of the module.
9) Connect the optical fiber to optical fiber connecter on front panel
10) Power meter measure whether the output optical power is within specifications
11) Connected to NE8004SIIET RJ45 interface via Ethernet cable, check and set various
parameters by software to ensure the accurate device parameters.
