TRANSMITTER FRONT AND REAR PANELS
The front and rear panels of the
‘ONE-FTX are shown below in Fig. 1. The HD6000-ONE
rear panel has one BNC input for each channel, labelled CH1 thru CH6, plus a COMMON
ST/UPC output port for the resulting CWDM optical signal. The HD6000 rear panel differs in
that, instead of a single COMMON fiber ST/UPC connector, it has 6 ST/UPC output
connectors, one for each BNC input, also labelled CH1 thru CH6. Besides a POWER LED,
which is green when power is applied to the unit, the front panel has 6 STATUS LEDS, one
for each of the 6 channels. Note that, upon special order, some of these channels can be
TXs and some can be RXs as mentioned above. Thus, the BNCs and fiber ports could be
either inputs or outputs. Assuming that the channel is a transmit channel, the STATUS LED
functions for that channel are:
Green
whenever there is a carrier detected at the channel’s BNC input.
Red if no carrier is detected at the BNC input. This will cause the channel to be muted. But
the LED for the corresponding channel at the other end of the link might still be green, as the
laser for this channel is still providing light, even if unmodulated.
Blinking Red if the laser has failed for the channel, regardless of input status. This would
result in no optical output for that channel onto the fiber. The corresponding LED for this
channel at the other end of the link should be red under these conditions, as it will be dark.
Off if the channel is not populated.
Note that the status LEDS do NOT indicate quality or type of signal.
RECEIVER FRONT AND REAR PANELS
The front and rear panels of the
‘ONE-FRX are shown below in Fig.1. Note that the rear
panels are identical to those of the FTX except that the directionality of the ports is reversed.
The HDx000 FRX version will have separate optical inputs for each channel instead of a
COMMON input. Besides a POWER LED, which is green when power is applied to the unit,
the front panel has 6 STATUS LEDS, one for each of the 6 channels. As mentioned above,
the channels could be either RXs or TXs. Assuming that the channel is a receive channel, the
STATUS LEDs for that channel are:
Green whenever c
hannel’s optic is illuminated with at least -15 dbm of signal.
Yellow if this optical signal is between -18 and -15 dbm.
Red if this optical signal is less than -18 dbm. This will cause the channel to mute.
Off if the channel is not populated.
Note that the status LEDS do NOT indicate quality or type of signal.
