Connecting an interface module to the network
Connecting an Ethernet cable
Overview
You can connect a RIC-4GEE or a RIC-8GEE to the network through Ethernet cables as shown in
the following figure.
Figure 6 Ethernet cable
10/100 Mbps Ethernet uses category-5 twisted pair cables, and 1000 Mbps Ethernet uses
category-5 enhanced or category-6 twisted pair cables. Twisted pair cables include straight-through
cables and crossover cables.

• Higher attenuation to crosstalk ratio (ACR)
• Less delay error and higher performance

Category-6
• Improved performance on crosstalk and
return loss
• Sufficient power sum ACR (PS-ACR) when
working at 200 MHz
• Bandwidth twice than that of Cat-5e cables
1 MHz to 250
MHz
Applications
requiring a
transmission speed
of more than 1 Gbps
The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet uses two pairs of cables, orange/white, orange, green/white and green
cables, to transmit and receive data, while the 1000 Mbps Ethernet uses four pairs of cables to
transmit and receive data.
For the pinouts of common twisted pair cables, see the following tables. (A and B represent the two
ends of a cable, respectively.)

NOTE:
For correct communication, strictly follow the pinouts in the above tables when identifying or making
the two types of Ethernet cables
Connection procedure
To connect an Ethernet cable:
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the module and the other end to
an Ethernet port on the peer device.
2. Verify the LED status after powering on the device. For LED descriptions, see the relevant
LEDs part in this manual.
Connecting an optical fiber
Overview
Fiber ports must work with SFP transceiver modules and fibers with LC connectors. To connect a
RIC-4GEF or RIC-8GEF to the network, use 1000-Mbps SFP transceiver modules as shown
in Figure 7. T
o connect a RIC-1XGEF to the network, use 10-Gbps SFP+ transceiver modules shown
in Figure 8
.

Connection procedure
WARNING!
Do not stare into any open apertures of operating transceiver modules or optical fiber connectors.
The laser light emitted from these apertures might hurt your eyes.
CAUTION:
Insert a dust cap into any open optical fiber connector and a dust plug into any open fiber port or
transceiver module port to protect them from contamination and ESD damage.
To connect an optical fiber:
1. Insert an SFP/SFP+ transceiver module into an SFP/SFP+ port on the interface module.
2. Identify the Rx and Tx ports on the SFP transceiver module. Use the optical fiber to connect the
Rx port and Tx port on the transceiver module to the Tx port and Rx port on the peer end,
respectively.
3. Verify the LINK LED.
{ If the LED is on, a fiber link has been set up.
{ If the LED is off, no link is present. The reason might be wrong connection of the Tx and Rx
ends. Swap the fiber connectors in the Tx and Rx ports at one end of the fiber.
