Usage
General
This page contains card-specific hardware information and configuration options. Names, Serial Number, Revisions and the generic hardware information can be seen and configured here.
Status
This page displays the general status of the card, which includes slot information, up time and alarming.
Specific card information can also be found here, namely the Laser Status and the Transmitter Input status.
From version 1.0.0.3 onwards, the Optical Transmitter Laser information is also available on this page.
Configuration
This page provides access to general configuration and actions, such as the Module Reset, Factory Default reset and Slot Reset for the relevant card. You can also change the status of the Front Panel Lock, and Blink the card's front status LED.
The page also contains specific card configuration options:
- Transmitter Output Table: Allows the configuration of power adjustments and offsets for the card's output.
- Radio Frequency Configuration Table: Allows the configuration of the laser's power ratios and gains, wavelength and the Smart Transmitter function.
- Transmitter Distortion Table: Allows the configuration of the fiber length and filter slope, to allow distance-related signal compensation.
- Slot Test Point Table: Allows you to determine which channel will be used for test points.
Version 1.0.0.3 of the connector introduces several large changes, including the addition of tables related to the optical transmitters. Because of this, this page looks different from that version onwards. It now displays the system configuration, including the Date/Time, the Alarm Detection and a Software Reset. While the Slot Test Point Table remains on this page, the other RF tables from version 1.0.0.1 have been moved to a specific subpage, accessible via the RF Transmitters... page button. Their functionality remains the same. An additional page button allows access to the Optical Transmitters' new tables, allowing you to turn them on/off, and to change the card's input configuration.
