Description

The Prisma II 1.2 GHz HD-LRMW and HQT Transmitters are plug-in modules for the Prisma II and the Prisma II XD platforms. These modules are part of the Prisma II optical network, an advanced transmission system designed to optimize network architectures and increase reliability, scalability, and cost effectiveness.

The transmitters install into a Prisma II XD Chassis directly, or into a standard Prisma II Chassis by means of a host module that accepts up to two Prisma II High Density application modules.

The transmitters are designed to operate over a wide range of loss budgets and digital signal loads. Microprocessor control allows ease of installation and flexibility of application.

The transmitter design includes an array of capabilities, such as low RF input level, broadcast, and elective Automatic Gain Control (AGC).

Features

The high density transmitter has the following features:

Operation

¾ Front panel green light emitting diode (LED) to indicate operating status

¾ Front panel red LED to indicate alarm status

¾ -20 dB test point

¾ Optical output connector

¾ Plug-and-play capability

¾ Compatible with Intelligent Communications Interface Module (ICIM) and Local

Craft Interface (LCI) software

¾ Blind-mate radio frequency (RF) connections

The transmitter receives an RF signal through a connector on the rear of the module. The RF input signal is amplified and converted to an optical signal. This module employs an Indium Phosphide-based hybrid laser/modulator structure to both generate the optical carrier and modulate this optical carrier with the input RF signal.

The incoming RF signal is amplified and then routed through a coupler to an RF detector circuit. The detector circuit produces a DC voltage proportional

to the incident RF power. A controller monitors this voltage level to evaluate

WARNING:

Avoid damage to your eyes! Do not look into any optical connector while the system is active. Even if the unit is off, there may still be hazardous optical levels present.

the input power level. The transmitter generates an alarm condition if the input power is over or under a specified level.

The amplified RF signal is also routed to a variable attenuator, which is used to reduce RF power in an overdrive condition or compensate for gain variations in the transmitter. The signal is equalized, impedance-matched, and then sent to the laser. The optical output connector is located on the front panel of the module.

Transmitter gain is controlled through the selection of Manual or Automatic Gain Control (AGC) mode operation.

¾ In Manual mode, an attenuator can be used to reduce RF power in an overdrive

condition or to compensate for variations in transmitter gain. Any manual attenuator adjustments are reflected in the indicated RF drive level. It may be desirable to make such adjustments to compensate for power differences if the channel load differs from the specified value.

¾ In AGC mode, the microprocessor monitors the actual input composite power

and adjusts the attenuator to maintain constant RF drive level into the laser diode.

After the RF amplification and control stage, the signal is equalized and impedance-matched, and then is sent to the hybrid laser/modulator. The optical output connector is located on the front panel of the module.

The user can turn the laser on or off, adjust the drive level to the laser, and set alarm levels. The module can be controlled either locally using LCI, the ICIM front-panel interface, or remotely using CLI commands or the ICIM Web Interface.

Optical Output

The optical output connectors are SC/APC.

Power Requirements

Prisma II modules receive their electrical power from the Prisma II Chassis. The module may be installed with the chassis under power.

Space Requirements

This is a single-width, half-height module. Actual space requirements depend on whether the module is installed in a Prisma II standard or a Prisma II XD chassis.

Prisma II Standard Chassis Installation

When installed in a Prisma II standard chassis, the module is placed in a host module and then inserted into the chassis in slots 5 through 16.

¾ If the module occupies the upper host module position, its slot number is the

same (5 through 16) as that of the host module.

¾ If the module occupies the lower host module position, its slot number is 16 plus

the host module slot number, or 21 through 32.

Slots 1 through 4 are usually reserved for the power supplies. If an ICIM is installed, it occupies slots 15 and 16. If an ICIM is not installed, any other module (or host module) can occupy these slots.

Slots 2 and 4 are reserved for an internal power supply, if installed. If an internal power supply is not installed here, any other module (or host module) can occupy these slots.

Prisma II XD Chassis Installation

When installed in a Prisma II XD Chassis, the module is inserted directly into an available application module slot on the chassis front panel. The application module slots are numbered 1 through 16.

The chassis power supplies and ICIM are installed in dedicated slots on the chassis back panel, so slots 1 through 16 are available for application modules regardless of chassis configuration.

Standard Prisma II Chassis

The standard Prisma II Chassis may be configured with front or rear connectors depending on the system you have purchased. Power, RF input/output, and other connectors may be located on either the front or rear of the Prisma II Chassis. Connections to the chassis serve the same function and are made in the same manner regardless of the location of the connectors or chassis configuration.

Cleaning Optical Connectors

CAUTION:

Proper operation of this equipment requires clean optical fibers. Dirty fibers will adversely affect performance. Proper cleaning is imperative.

The proper procedure for cleaning optical connectors depends on the connector type. The following describes general instructions for fiber optic cleaning. Use your company's established procedures, if any, but also consider the following.

Cleaning fiber optic connectors can help prevent interconnect problems and aid system performance. When optical connectors are disconnected or reconnected, the fiber surface can become dirty or scratched, reducing system performance.

Inspect connectors prior to mating, clean as needed, and then remove all residue. Inspect connectors after cleaning to confirm that they are clean and undamaged.

Recommended Equipment

¾ CLETOP or OPTIPOP ferrule cleaner (for specific connector type)

¾ Compressed air (also called “canned air”)

¾ Lint-free wipes moistened with optical-grade (99%) isopropyl alcohol

¾ Bulkhead swabs (for specific connector type)

¾ Optical connector scope with appropriate adaptor

Tips for Optimal Fiber Optic Connector Performance

¾ Do not connect or disconnect optical connectors with optical power present.

¾ Always use compressed air before cleaning the fiber optic connectors and when

cleaning connector end caps.

¾ Always install or leave end caps on connectors when they are not in use.

¾ If you have any degraded signal problems, clean the fiber optic connector.

¾ Advance a clean portion of the ferrule cleaner reel for each cleaning.

¾ Turn off optical power before making or breaking optical connections to avoid

microscopic damage to fiber mating surfaces.

Page 53

Cleaning Optical Connectors

To Clean Optical Connectors

Warning:

Avoid personal injury! Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Avoid personal injury! The laser light source on this equipment (if a transmitter) or the fiber cables connected to this equipment emit invisible laser radiation.

Avoid personal injury! Viewing the laser output (if a transmitter) or fiber cable with optical instruments (such as eye loupes, magnifiers, or microscopes) may pose an eye hazard.

¾ Do not apply power to this equipment if the fiber is unmated or unterminated.

¾ Do not stare into an unmated fiber or at any mirror-like surface that could reflect

light emitted from an unterminated fiber.

¾ Use safety-approved optical fiber cable to maintain compliance with applicable

laser safety requirements.

Important: Ensure that no optical power is present prior to this procedure.

1 Turn optical power off to the connector.

2 Using an optical connector scope, inspect the connector for scratches,

burns, or other signs of damage.

Note: If the connector is damaged, replace the jumper.

3 If the connector requires cleaning, swipe it across the face of the

appropriate ferrule cleaner several times. This will remove dust and some films.

Note: You may hear a slight "squeak" while cleaning the connector, indicating that it is clean.

4 Inspect the connector again. If the connector requires further cleaning,

clean it using 99% isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free wipe.

5 Swipe the connector across the face of the appropriate ferrule cleaner

several more times to remove any film left by the alcohol.

6 Repeat all the steps above as needed until the connector is clean.

Page 55

Connecting the ICIM to Additional Chassis

Chassis-to-Chassis ICIM Connections

The Prisma II platform allows the ICIM to be located in one chassis and control modules located in several other chassis. This communication “daisy-chain” can be enabled by connecting cables to the ICIM IN and ICIM OUT connectors located on the connector interface panel of the chassis. This connection is required if an ICIM in one chassis is to communicate with or control any module located in a separate chassis.

Note: An ICIM can control a maximum of 140 modules. Depending on your application, this is typically 6 or 7 chassis to a rack. Do not exceed these limits.

ICIM IN and ICIM OUT Connectors

Every Prisma II standard and Prisma II XD chassis has a DB9 ICIM IN and a DB9 ICIM OUT connector for the purpose of chassis-to-chassis ICIM connections. ICIM IN is a female connector and ICIM OUT is a male connector.

Prisma II Standard Chassis

Prisma II XD Chassis

ICIM IN and ICIM OUT Cables

The cable required for both ICIM IN and ICIM OUT connections is a shielded 9-wire serial extension cable, DB9 Female to DB9 Male. This cable can be purchased locally or from the factory. The chassis data sheet lists the

Page 56

Chapter 2 Module Installation

part number for a 6-foot DB9 Female to DB9 Male serial extension cable. The connectors are a serial 9-pin D-shell (EIA 574/232).

To Connect Chassis-to-Chassis ICIM IN and ICIM OUT Ports

1 Connect the serial extension cable from the ICIM OUT of the chassis

containing the ICIM to the ICIM IN connector of the second chassis.

2 Connect a serial extension cable from the ICIM OUT of the second chassis

to the ICIM IN of the third chassis.

3 Continue this daisy-chain connection until all chassis are connected.

4 Connect an ICIM OUT terminator, part number 4013014, to the ICIM

OUT connector on the last chassis in the daisy-chain connection. The ICIM OUT terminator ships with the ICIM.

Important:

¾ All chassis connected in the daisy-chain must be powered and have a fan tray

installed. A chassis connected in the daisy-chain that is not powered or has no fan tray installed will cause faulty operation of the ICIM.

¾ All chassis connected in this daisy-chain must have a unique chassis ID number.

¾ If the ICIM OUT terminator that ships with the ICIM is not installed on the last

chassis of a daisy-chain connection, faulty communication with the ICIM may occur.

Page 57

External Alarm Connections

Master/Slave Operation

All Prisma II modules ship from the factory configured as a master. The LCI, or the ICIM can be used to reconfigure a module as a slave or as redundant. The Prisma II Chassis allows for local hard-wired redundancy by using the ALARM IN and ALARM OUT connectors located on the connector interface panel. A pair of modules can be configured so that if the master fails, the slave takes over by using the ALARM IN and ALARM OUT connectors.

ALARMS IN and ALARMS OUT Connectors

Every Prisma II standard and Prisma II XD chassis provides connectors for external alarms to and from each module slot. These alarm connectors are located on the chassis connector panel and are labeled ALARMS IN and ALARMS OUT.

For detailed information on ALARM IN and ALARM OUT connectors, see the Prisma II Chassis Installation and Operation Guide, part number 713375 or the Prisma II™ XD Platform System Guide, part number 4021339.

When a critical alarm occurs in a Master module, the Master turns off and the Slave (redundant module) is enabled. To make this happen, the pin representing the Master module slot in the ALARM OUT connector must be externally wired to the pin representing the Slave module slot in the ALARM IN connector. After wiring these contacts, take care to ensure that the Master and Slave modules are not moved to other slots. Otherwise, the ALARM IN and ALARM OUT connectors will need to be rewired to the appropriate pins.

Note:

¾ Any device configured as Single or Master ignores its ALARM IN contacts.

¾ To verify proper wiring and redundant configuration, simply unplug the Master

module and observe that the Slave module turns on.

ICIM Password

ICIM Menu Option

Description

User Psw

A user-settable password.

Created, entered, and changed by the system operator(s)

Must be exactly eight digits, using only the 0-9 number keys

Change Psw

Changes an existing user password.

Disable Psw

Disables the user password function.

SA Psw

A service password used by factory personnel only.

The ICIM allows you to send configuration commands, change alarm thresholds, and restore factory default settings in Prisma II modules. To prevent unauthorized changes to these parameters, you have the option of using a password protection system. Password authorization only applies to configurable parameters. Status and alarm information is always available on the ICIM, regardless of password implementation.

Note: The following instructions pertain to the use of the ICIM2 front-panel interface (LCD and keyboard). Remote password and other administrative functions are also supported using CLI Commands or the ICIM Web Interface. For details, see the Prisma II Platform Remote User Interface Guide, System Release 2.03, part number 4025477.

Password Protection System

The ICIM menu options available in the password protection system are shown here.

Important: If you only want to monitor status and alarm data, skip the password function when it appears on the ICIM menu. You can access all module status and alarm information without a password.

However, once a user password is entered, you are required to enter it every time you want to set configurable parameters to any module controlled by that ICIM. Refer to Expired Password or Inactive Password Messages (on page 44) and To Enter the User Password (on page 44).

To Access the Password Menu

The Password menu allows you to create, enter, change, or disable the user password. It also allows service personnel to use the factory default password.
