Chapter1 Product Overview System Modules
Only signals with the designated data rate can be transmitted within a guaranteed
optical budget.
Clock Recovery Front Panel LEDs
The WCM LEDs provide information about its operating status. Table1-4
describes the LEDs.
Locally received optical data enters the local receiver and is electrically
transferred to the remote transmitter using clock-recovery. The clock recovery
locks onto the edges of the data signal and restores the signal to the chosen data
transmission frequency.The remote transmitter transmits the data in optical form
at a certain ITU wavelength to the MUX.
Table1-4 Clock Recovery WCM LED Descriptions
Label Color1
1. Any other state than the ones listed indicates a possible failure in the local system.
Description
On/Err Green Power is on. No software or hardware errors are detected.
Red A hardware or software error was detected or the
initialization is in progress (during system startup only).
Red
blinking WCM is in manual setting mode (not shown in case of
error).
Loop Orange A remote and/or a local loop is established.
L/R Green Data is received from a local port and the data rate matches
the clock frequency.
Yellow Data is received from a local port but the data rate does not
match the clock recovery frequency.
L/T Green Data is transmitted to a local port.
R/R Green Data is received from the remote end of the link.
R/T Green Data is transmitted to the remote end of the link.
Green
blinking WCM is in ALS mode; LED blinks once every 10 seconds.
Off Data stream is interrupted because the clock frequency
does not match the current data rate.
