9Diagnostic Monitoring Type
10“Diagnostic Monitoring Type” is a 1 byte field with 8 single bit indicators describing how
11diagnostic monitoring is implemented in the particular transceiver (see Table 3.8).
12Bit 6, address 92, is set in Finisar ‘7D’ SFPs, 'P' SFPs under the new part numbering
13scheme, and WDM GBICs, indicating that digital diagnostic monitoring has been
14implemented. Received power monitoring, transmitted power monitoring, bias current
15monitoring, supply voltage monitoring and temperature monitoring are all implemented.
16Additionally, alarm and warning thresholds are written as specified in this document at
17locations 00 – 55 on 2 wire serial address 1010001X (A2h) (see Table 3.14).
18If bit 5, “internally calibrated”, is set, the transceiver reports calibrated values directly
19in units of current, power etc. If bit 4, “externally calibrated”, is set, the reported
20values are A/D counts which must be converted to real world units using calibration
21values read using 2 wire serial address 1010001X (A2h) from bytes 55 - 95. Finisar
22transceivers use both calibration types so it is necessary to read bit 5 in order to
23properly interpret transceiver data .
24Bit 3 indicates whether the received power measurement represents average input
25optical power or OMA. If the bit is set, average power is monitored. If it is not, OMA is
26monitored. Finisar transceivers report “average power” and thus bit 3 is set.
27Bit 2 indicates whether or not a special “address change” sequence (described in SFF-
288472) is required. This sequence is NOT required in Finisar modules. Information at
29both
30address during the
31Finisar SFP/GBIC transceivers thus have 0b01111000 written at address 92 if they are
32 internally calibrated, and 0b01011000 written at address 92 if they are externally
33calibrated. Note that internally calibrated devices can be treated as externally calibrated
34devices because the external calibration constants are set to 1 or 0 as appropriate.
