About this Manual
This guide covers both the MIL-1240LX and the MIL-1240SX. The terms “MIL1240” and “transceiver” are used throughout this document to describe either
unit.
Introduction
The MIL-1240 series of transceivers are 1000BASE, fault-tolerant transceivers that
provide redundant path for a critical gigabit Ethernet devices (e.g., a file server).
The difference in the models is:
• MIL-1240LX is a short-wave optic signals to long-wave optic signals
transceiver
• MIL-1240SX is a short-wave optic signals to short-wave optic signals
transceiver
There are three ports on the transceiver:
• Main Port
• Primary Port
• Backup Port
Typically, the
Primary
Main Port
Port
and
connects to a critical gigabit Ethernet device. The
Backup Port
connect to two ports on the same switch or
two ports on two different switches.
Features
• MIL-1240LX: One pair of multi-mode, short-wave transceivers using an SC
connector and two pair of single-mode, long-wave transceiver using SC
connectors
• MIL-1240SX: Three pair of multi-mode, short-wave transceivers using SC
connectors
• Primary and backup power supplies capable, but ships with the primary
power supply only
Installation
