Getting Started

Module Card Interconnection

Before powering on the system, install the cables and DC blocks provided for signal interconnection of the module cards. Use Figure 1-3 as a reference guide. (See Appendix G for cabling an OTS9100 module with a tunable laser).

NOTE: Depending upon the configuration of the OTS cards within the OTS-9000, some of these connections may not need to be made. If multiple cards are present within the system, the 8” cables provided may be required in place of the 4” cables.

1.Attach a 4 or 6” coax cable from the Rx DATA OUT port of the Optical card. Connect the other end of the cable to the Rx DATA IN port DC block located on the Receive card. The Optical card is now connected to the Receive card.

2.Attach a 4 or 6” coax cable to the Tx DATA IN port of the Optics card. Connect the other end of the 4 or 6” coax cable from the Tx DATA IN port to the Tx DATA OUT (Tx) port of the Transmit card. The Optical card is now connected to the Transmit card.

3.For through mode only: Attach a 4 or 6” coax cable to the Rx CLOCK OUT port of the Receive card. Connect the other end of the cable to the Rx CLOCK IN port of the Clock Trigger card. The Receive card is now connected to the Clock Trigger card.

4.Attach a 4” coax cable to the 10GHz Clock In port of the Transmit card to the 10GHz Clock Out port of the Clock Trig card. The Transmit card is now connected to the Clock Trig card.

NOTE: To install peripherals (mouse, monitor, keyboard), refer to the chassis manual.

CAUTION! Before moving previously installed cables, loosen the connections on both ends of the cable. If one end of a cable is moved and the other end is not loosened, damage to the cable will occur.
