3.Info

Information about the fiber optic transceivers can be accessed from the sub-menus.

Main -> Local -> Optics -> Transmit:

Tx Optic A B C D

4.23 mW

Status: Good

This screen shows the optical launch power of the selected optic transceiver. Use the "+" button to select the next transceiver. Use the "-" button to select the previous transceiver.

The launch power is displayed in milliwatts (mW). Values around +4mW are normal. Additionally, the transceiver transmit (TX) status is displayed. The status is reported as either Good, Faulty, or Not Found if the selected transceiver is not installed.

Main -> Local -> Optics -> Receive:

Rx Optic: ABCD

3.97mW

Status: Good

This screen shows the optical receive power of the selected optic transceiver. Use the "+" button to select the next transceiver. Use the "-" button to select the previous transceiver.

The power is displayed in milliwatts (mW). The receive power can be used to verify path loss if the transmit launch power at the other end of a fiber is known. Sensitivity must be greater than 0.04 mW to insure enough optical power is being received. Additionally, the transceiver receive (RX) status is displayed. The status is reported as Good, Sync Loss, Signal Loss or Not Found if the selected transceiver is not installed.
