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

6. Check the LEDs for proper status. This depends on the status of the devices
connected to the different ports.

1240.
Indicators
There are 5 LEDs on the MIL-1240. All LEDs are yellow, except for the PWR LED,
which is green.
•PWR1
(Power One): This lights when the MIL-1240 is receiving power on the
primary power adapter.
•PWR2
(Power Two): This lights when the unit is receiving power on the back-
up power adapter.
MSD (Main port Signal Detect): This lights when the device detects activity on
•
the Main Port
.
•PSD (Primary port Signal Detect): This lights when the device detects an input
signal on the Primary Port
.
•SSD (Secondary port Signal Detect): This lights when the device detects
activity on the Backup Port
.
When PSD and MSD illuminate at the same time, the node attached to the Primary
will connect to the node attached to the
Port
Backup Port.
Theory of Operation
The MIL-1240 consist of a fiber transceiver in the MainPort that converts
sequential nibbles on the Main
