About this manual
This manual covers both the MIL-240FXT and the MIL-240FXC. The terms “MIL­240FX,” “transceiver,” and “device” are used throughout this document to describe either transceiver.
Introduction
The MIL-240FXC/240FXT is a 100BASE-FX, fault-tolerant transceiver. It provides a redundant path for a critical Fast Ethernet device, such as a file server. The MIL­240FX has three 100BASE-FX ports:
Port
Main
Port, Primary Port
, and
Backup
Typically, the Main Port will connect to a critical Fast Ethernet device (i.e., a file server). The Primary Port
and the Backup Port connect to two different ports
of a switch, or two different ports of two different switches. When the unit is powered on, the MIL-240FX checks the Primary
presence of a link signal. If the signal is present, then the Main Port
Primary
connected to the Backup device does not detect a signal on the Primary
Backup
Port will connect, and the Backup Port is disabled. Any device
Port will not detect a signal at this time. However , if the

Indicators
There are 4 LEDs on the MIL-240FXT/240FXC:
MPSD: (Main Port Signal Detect): This LED illuminates when the unit detects an input signal at the Main
Port . It is yellow.
PWR: (Power): This LED illuminates when the unit is powered up (using the power supply adapter). It is green.
BPSD: (Backup Port Signal Detect): This LED illuminates when the unit
• detects an input signal at the Backup
Port . It is yellow.
PPSD: (Primary Port Signal Detect): This LED illuminates when the unit detects an input signal at the Primary
