61. Scope and Overview
7
8This document defines an enhanced digital diagnostic monitoring interface available in
9Finisar SFP and GBIC optical transceivers. The i nterface allows real time access to
10device operating parameters, and it includes a sophisticated system of alarm and
11warning flags which alerts
12of a factory set normal range. The interface is fully compliant with
13Diagnostic Monitoring Interface for Optical Transceivers", revision 9.3.
14
15These digital diagnostic features are implemented in all Finisar SFP transceivers that
16contain a “D” in the part number suffix (for example, FTRJ
17DWDM and CWDM GBICs. All next generation Finisar SFPs utilizing the new part
18numbering scheme (e.g. FTRJ1621P1BCL) also have the same diagnostic capability.

20The interface is an extension of the serial ID interface defined in the GBIC specification
21as well as the SFP MSA. Both specifications define a
22EEPROM, which is accessible over a
231010000X (A0h). The digital diagnostic monitoring interface makes use of the 8 bit
24address 1010001X (A2h), so the originally defined serial ID memory map remains
25unchanged. The interface is identical to, and is thus fully backward compatible with both
26the GBIC Specification and the SFP Multi Source Agreement. The complete interface is
27described in Section 3 below.
28
29The operating and diagnostics information is monitored and reported by a Digital
30Diagnostics Transceiver Controller (DDTC), which is accessed via a
31Its physical characteristics are defined in Section 4.
