SK-NIC Installation Common Communication Link
5.3.1 Fiber Loop Modules
Two types of fiber-optic modules are available to use to transmit and receive communication with the SK-NIC.
The SK-FML (Fiber-Optic Multi-Mode) and SK-FSL (Fiber-Optic Single-Mode) are plug-in fiber loop modules. The two types of fiber-
optic modules are used as one channel to transmit or receive communications with the SK-NIC, ARCNET communication circuit.
The following describe the two types of fiber-optic modules.
• The SK-FML is a fiber module that allows the multi-mode fiber to link between nodes.
• The SK-FSL is a fiber module that allows the single-mode fiber to link between nodes.
Each fiber loop module can Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) fiber-optic cable connecting to the SK-NIC. Up to two fiber loop cards can be
added to the SK-NIC, and both cards may be combined in the same configuration. See Figure 5.4.
5.3.2 SK-NIC Mounting Kits
SK-NIC can be mounted in an accessory cabinet. An accessory kit is necessary to install the SK-NIC outside of the 6700 cabinet.
• The SK-NIC-KIT includes a SK-NIC, small cabinet with locking door, cable, and mounting hardware.
• The 5815RMK includes a small cabinet with locking door and mounting hardware.
5.4 SK-NIC Installation
The SK-NIC is designed to mount on the bracket inside the accessory cabinet. Use the following steps to properly mount the SK-NIC-KIT.
1. Place the SK-NIC on the mounting bracket.
