FCC NOTICE
Transmit (XMT) This green LED flashes when the
FOT-DF24 transmits data. The LED flash is pulse
stretched for viewing effect. The XMT LED is off when
the device is active but not transmitting.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Receive (RCV) This yellow LED flashes when the
FOT-DF24 receives data from the network. If attached
to a repeater, RCV flashes when data passes through
the FOT-DF24. The LED is pulse-stretched for viewing
effect.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment uses, generates, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and if not installed in accordance with the operator’s
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause interference in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Collision (CLN) This red LED flashes when the
transceiver detects a collision condition or a jabber
packet on the network. The flash frequency may
increase as network traffic increases since more
collisions are likely to occur. The LED is pulse-
stretched for viewing effect.
FOT-DF24
802.3 10BASE-FL/FOIRL
Redundant Transceiver
The FOT-DF24™ fiber optic transceiver is designed to
link two Ethernet™ devices through fiber optic cable.
Dual fiber optic ports with ST type connectors provide
redundant data paths for critical applications.
Link OK (LNK) When lit, this green LED indicates that
a link exists between the FOT-DF24 and the device at
the other end of the fiber optic segment. LNK remains
lit as long as the link is maintained. To maintain the
link, the transceiver generates a 1 MHz idle signal
when it is not transmitting data. Both ports can show a
valid link.
WARNING: Changes or modifications made to this device
which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

Active Port (ACT) This yellow LED indicates which
fiber optic port is handling all network traffic through
the transceiver. Only one port can be active; the
inactive port ACT LED is off. A flashing ACT LED
indicates that the port is in the idle state. A slow flash
indicates that the time-out period is set to 10 seconds;
a fast flash indicates that the time-out period is set to
2 seconds.

MIN MAX
Back-up Port
If the primary port (port 1) receives no data for either 2
or 10 seconds (switch selectable), the port enters the
idle state. During the idle state, if the back-up port
(port 2) receives data it becomes the active port.
When the primary port senses data again, it switches
back to become the active port. The two transceiver
ports can be connected to the same network device,
different network devices or even different networks.
