How to install EDGE 100BASE-FX SFP 1310nm 2km Transceiver

• Power down the device or port you will be servicing and ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling the transceiver.
• Remove the existing module (if replacing) and insert the EDGE SFP into the correct SFP slot until it fully seats with a secure click.
• Attach the fiber optic cable to the LC duplex connector, ensuring that transmit and receive fibers are correctly configured and the cable is clean and undamaged.
• Power on the device and verify that the connected port recognizes the transceiver. The link LED should illuminate if the counterparty is configured for 100BASE-FX operation.
• Test network connectivity with basic throughput tests or a ping to confirm reliable operation. If the link does not come up, recheck fiber type, distance, connector cleanliness, and port settings; no driver installation is typically required.
