F. Installing the MOST Adapter Cable and Configuring the MOST Ring

NOTICE!
Improper handling of optical fibers can damage the fibers.

Damaged optical fibers can cause component malfunction. Handle optical fibers with care to prevent cuts, nicks, abrasions, and crushing.





1. Find the MOST adapter cable (Figure 12) for CTEL and VCS in the kit.

Note:
Identify the MOST adapter cable for CTEL and VCS by its two connectors (A and B, Figure 12) and one coupling (C, Figur12).





2. Carefully remove the optical fiber end (Arrow, Figure 13) from the coupling (A, Figure 13) of the yellow MOST cable in the left side compartment of the carrier plate.





3. Insert the optical fiber end (Arrow, Figure 13) removed from the coupling of the yellow MOST cable into the coupling (C, Figure 12) of the MOST adapter cable (A, Figure 14).

4. Remove the protective cap from the optical fiber end (D, Figure 12) and insert the fiber end into the coupling (A, Figure 13) of the yellow MOST cable (B, Figure 14).





5. Connect the larger connector (A, Figure 12) of the MOST adapter cable to the MHI control module (Figure 15).





6. Insert the smaller connector (B, Figure 12) of the MOST adapter cable into the open receptacle in the VCS power supply connector connected to the VCS control module (Figure 16).

Note:
The smaller keyed connector of the MOST adapter cable fits the VCS power supply connector only one way (i.e. there is no way to insert the connector incorrectly).





7. To keep the MOST cables tension free, allow the coupled loop to fall over the MHI control module, behind the bracket upper clip, and run the length between the MHI and VCS control modules along the carrier plate inside edge (Figure 17).
