Ethernet and Fibre Channel Application 7

3 Getting Started

If the Ethernet and Fibre Channel Application has been purchased at the same time as the FTB-500, the Ethernet and Fibre Channel Application module is pre-installed with the appropriate /ToolBox software version.

ToolBox Installation

ToolBox is the baseline software and thus needs to be installed on the FTB-500 before using the Ethernet and Fibre Channel Application module.
Note: Refer to the FTB-500 platform user guide for more information on ToolBox
installation procedure.

Inserting and Removing Test Modules

CAUTION
Never insert or remove a module while the FTB-500 is turned on. This will result in immediate and irreparable damage to both the module and unit.
WARNING
When the laser safety LED ( ) is flashing on the FTB-500, at least one of your modules is emitting an optical signal. Please check all modules, as it might not be the one you are currently using.
Note: Refer to the FTB-500 platform user guide for more information on how to
insert a module into the FTB-500 or to remove a module from the FTB-500.

Turning the Unit On

Turn on the FTB-500. Refer to the FTB-500 platform user guide for more information.

Wavelength Description Part Number
850 nm Short-wave optics SR for LAN or SW for WAN FTB-85900
1310 nm Long-wave optics LR for LAN or LW for WAN FTB-85901
1550 nm Long-wave optics ER for LAN or EW for WAN FTB-85902
Carefully connect optical fiber cables to the XFP’s IN and OUT ports. To ensure good signal quality, make sure that the optical fibre connector is fully inserted into the optical connector port.
Note: Do not replace an XFP while the test is running to avoid distorting results.
First stop the test, replace the XFP, and then restart the test.
Note: Only use EXFO supported XFPs. Using non-supported XFPs can affect the
performance and accuracy of the optical port.
CAUTION
To prevent exceeding the maximum input power level, please use an attenuator when a loopback configuration is used.
LEDs
LASER LED: The red LASER LED is on when the FTB-8500 Series and FTB-8120NGE/8130NGE is emitting an optical laser signal.
LINK/ACT LED: The LINK/ACT LED is on when the link is up, off when the link is down, and flashing when frames are transmitted and/or received.
