Getting Started

This chapter describes the preparation and initial setup of the OTS9100 module. Also provided is a list of standard and optional accessories for each of the individual cards.

Product Description

The Optical Test System OTS9100 Module set consists of a 10 Gb/s SONET/SDH transmitter and receiver. The transmitter consists of a high-speed OC-192c/STM-64c SONET/SDH digital signal generator feeding a 10 Gb/s fiber-coupled laser and modulator. It is capable of generating fixed and pseudo-random test patterns mapped into a set of sub-rate payloads or one full payload rate. The transmitter may also retransmit received 10 Gb/s signals with or without alarm and error insertion via intrusive through mode capabilities. Both transmitter and receiver support Unframed Mode. The transmitter supports flexible generation of alarms and errors at SONET and SDH levels (SONET Section, Line and Path; SDH Regenerator Section, Multiplex Section and Path).

The receiver consists of a high-speed 10 Gb/s (9.9532 Gb/s) optical receiver feeding an OC- 192c/STM-64c digital signal analyzer. The receiver supports both SONET and SDH (SONET Section, Line and Path; SDH Regenerator Section, Multiplex Section and Path) alarm and error detection and accumulation for subsequent software analysis with the ability to print out reports.

The standard OTS9100 module consists of one each of an OTS91L4, OTS91R2, OTS91T3 and OTS91C3 card. A mixed suite of optical cards provides the OTS9100 module with flexibility to test for different optical requirements.

The OTS91L4 Transceiver card is the standard optical card for this module. The OTS9100 module will accept any of the OTS optical cards as a replacement for the OTS91L4, expanding the range of the system to support different types of test analysis. The only requirement is that the optics card be placed in the first slot position within the OTS9100 module.

Optical card offerings consist of the following:

OTS91L4 Transceiver with 1550 nm or 1310 nm laser option OTS91L5 Transmitter with 1550 nm or 1310 nm laser option OTS91L6 Receiver Only

OTS91L7 Transceiver with External Laser Interface (does not include an internal laser) OTS91L8 Transmit Only with External Laser Interface (does not include an internal laser)
