Introduction to the 7310 IFL
2. Introduction to the 7310 IFL
The Sat Light™ 7310 broadband (10 - 2200 MHz) fiber optic link is designed for a
wide range of antenna remoting applications, wireless or satellite. The 7310
operates over singlemode fiber covering distances of up to 2 kilometers away
while preserving excellent signal quality. The 7310 consists of an optical
transmitter (7310T) which receives the RF signal and an optical receiver (7310R)
which connects to a demodulator or satellite receiver.
The 7310T and 7310R modules plug into the 7180M, a 3U chassis/power supply
that enables expansion of the system to accommodate any eight Sat-Light
modules. Accessories include the Model 7001P Standby Power Supply, the Model
2000 1:1 Redundant Switch, the Model 2100 Amplifier, and the Model 7050 Serial
Data Multiplexer, an asynchronous data link.
The 7310 is a broadband transmission link; all standard satellite modulation
formats can be transmitted (i.e. QPSK, FM, etc.). The 7310 can be used in a wide
variety of applications: cellular, PCS, MMDS, GPS, VSAT, CATV, Earth
Stations, Broadcast, Radar, and others. The RF signal is directly modulated and
adds virtually no phase noise to the original signal. The direct modulation,
coupled with the 7310 Links RF circuitry, guarantees superior signal quality. The
7310 is capable of more than 35 dB carrier to noise performance in a full band or
single carrier environment.
At the receiver site MGC maintains the RF level regardless of optical power or
distance from the transmission site. Front panel LEDs and back panel monitors
and alarms allow for complete system status monitoring and for interfacing with
M & C systems.
2.1 Options
The 7310 IFL comes with a variety of options:
1. 75 Ω/F type or 50 Ω SMA RF connector; standard impedance is 50 Ω
Input-Output Impedance/BNC, female connectors are standard.
2. Extended frequency - 10 to 2500 MHz; the standard bandwidth is
10 - 2150 MHz.
3. Standalone unit; the 7310 IFL can be installed as a standalone unit. If
the 7310 is used as a standalone, a separate power supply must be used.

Control for unity gain.
To set the unity gain
1. Connect combiner output to input of Spectrum Analyzer (S.A.).
2. Set Signal Generator 1 to -3 dBm on the S.A. at 1000 MHz.
3. Repeat for S.G.2 at 1010 MHz.
4. Set up the system as shown in Figure 12.
5. Set the Transmitter Gain Control for 3
at the Receiver output.
6. Adjust the Receiver Gain Control for unity gain.

Trouble Shooting
6. Trouble Shooting
The 7310 IFL was tested before it left the factory. However if you are
experiencing difficulties consult the list below for possible solutions. If your
system is still experiencing problems, attempt to isolate and identify the
malfunctioning unit.
Table 7 - Trouble Shooting
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Laser LED not on 1. No DC power to the unit. Possible power
supply problem or AC power input problem.
Check the fuse.
2. Verify LSRI monitor is -4.8 and -4.2V. If not,
laser may have overheated. Disconnect power
or remove plug in and allow to cool. Try again
with better airflow.
3. If an optical power meter is available, measure
the optical power out of the transmitter. The
power should be 0.4 mW to 1 mW. If an optical
power meter is not available, then use another
receiver to determine if there is optical power
emerging from the transmitter (use the 5 meter
jumper cable). If there is no optical power, then
the transmitter unit is malfunctioning.
If any or all the above are not within the
guidelines, the transmitter unit is faulty.
2. Lack of RF signal
present at Receiver, yet
optical power is
functioning.
1. If the unit has an LNB drive option, verify
that the correct LNB bias is coming down the
center of the RF connector at the transmit
site.
2. Verify that the dish is pointed and correctly
receiving satellite signals.
Conclusion: If signal still not present then
Transmitter input stage amplifier is defective.

Appendix I Cleaning Fiberoptic Connections
7. Appendix I Cleaning Fiberoptic Connections
The unit has an FC/APC (or other optional) angle polished optical connector for
very high optical return loss performance. The units are specified into singlemode
fiber i.e. 9/125 micron core diameter. Full performance is specified only for low
return loss optical plant - meaning that the fiber must be fusion spliced and all
connections or splices must have a return loss greater than -60 dB. With these
guidelines in mind, link lengths beyond 20 kilometers (DFB based products) can
be achieved with high performance. Specific performance and/or design assistance
is available by request from Foxcom.
If there is low/no signal or noisy signal at a Foxcom module, the connector should
be cleaned. Dirt on the inside connector tip can impair the flow of light causing
problems in signal transmission. Foxcom modules are sealed but dirt can
occasionally enter during installation and alignment.
The input and output optical ports of all OnePath Networks equipment are known
in the fiber optic world as bulkhead ports. The two bulkhead types used on
Foxcom equipment are either the FC/APC or SC/APC type.
The purpose of this document is to define the cleaning procedure for the SC/APC
and FC/APC bulkhead fiberoptic ports and for the SC/APC and FC/APC fiberoptic
connectors which are connected to the bulkhead ports.
The following materials are representative of the types of cleaning materials that
should be used for cleaning the fiberoptic ports and connectors. They are available
from several suppliers.

Appendix IV 7100M Chassis
10. Appendix IV 7100M Chassis
The 7100M Chassis is a standard Foxcom Chassis which holds up to 6 modules.
If 7310 IFL is being installed into a 7100M the following information should be
used for installing and checking the unit.
10.1 Equipment Safety
To avoid damaging your product, please observe the following:
1. Fuses: To avoid possibility of fire hazard, always replace fuses with the
same type and rating of fuse as recommended on the power supply rear
label.
In the US/Canada 1A fuses must be used (refer to page 71).
In Europe/Asia/South America 0.5A fuses must be used.
2. The transmitter and receiver output are DC coupled and can withstand the
bias from a satellite receiver. Do not exceed 25V DC bias.
3. Do not allow any dirt or foreign material to get into the optical connector
bulkheads. This may cause damage to the polished optical connector end
faces.
4. The optical fiber jumper cable bend radius is 3 cm. Smaller radii can
cause excessive optical loss and/or fiber breakage.
5. If multiple transmitters are installed in the chassis allow sufficient room
for adequate ventilation; otherwise the units may overheat causing possible
safety hazard or equipment damage.
6. When several units are installed on one 7100M chassis, ensure that the
total units’ current (including any LNB bias) does not exceed 2A per power
supply.
CAUTION
If several units in one chassis use the LNB option, the total current may
exceed 2A. Over current in this configuration and a failure of one
power supply may blow the fuse in the spare power supply.

By default, a 7000 IFL installed in a 7100M is set to 230V. To change the
voltage to 115V, refer to page 71, Changing the VAC.
Observe all warnings and cautions mentioned at the beginning of this manual
(page 11). If after set-up you experience problems, refer to Trouble
Shooting, page 38.
10.2.1 Setting up the Transmitter
1. Place the 7310T in the chassis. The operating base plate
temperature must be between -10° C to 55° C.
2. Apply AC power to the chassis. The Laser LED should be lit.
3. Using an optical power meter, measure the optical power. Insert
the meter’s cable into the Transmitter’s optical connector. Power
levels should be between 0.4 - 1.0 mW.
• pins J10-P13 through J10-P18 for the slot being measured
(Refer to Table 13 on page 64 for details regarding J10 pinouts)
(7100M Rackmount)
• at pin #6 of the 9 pin connector (standalone)
The voltage level should be -4.5 ± 0.3VDC.
4. On the rear panel, connect the coax cable to the RF Input
Connector. The Laser LED should be lit.
5. On the rear panel, connect the fiberoptic cable to the Optical
Connector.
6. Adjust the Gain Control Potentiometer to give the desired output power.
Using a small screw driver, turn the potentiometer (located on the front
panel) to increase or decrease the gain.
• To increase the gain, turn the gain control clockwise.

Note
If either LED is not lit, refer to Trouble Shooting on page 37.
CAUTION
When monitoring the voltage outputs use a high resistance DVM only.
10.2.2 Setting Up the Receiver
1. Place the 7310R Receiver in slot 1, 3, 4, or 6 of the 7100M Chassis
(refer to Figure 7, page 22)
15
. The operating base plate temperature
must be between -10° C to 55° C.
2. Apply AC power to the chassis. The Power Supply’s LED should
be lit.
3. On the rear panel connect the fiberoptic cable to the Optical
Connector. The Opt. LED should be lit.
4. Using an optical power meter, measure the optical power coming to
the Receiver from the fiberoptic cable. The power levels of the
Receiver should be the power level measured at the Transmitter minus
the fiber loss
16
.
Alternatively, use a DVM to measure the voltage at:
• pins J10-P7 through J10-P12 for the slot being measured (Refer
to Table 13 on page 64 for details for details regarding J10
pinouts) (7100M Rackmount). The voltage level should be 1V
for each 1 mW measured at the Receiver input.
• at pin #6 of the 9 pin connector (standalone)
5. On the rear panel, connect the fiberoptic cable to the Optical
Connector. The Opt. LED should be lit.
6. On the rear panel, connect the coax cable to the RF Output
Connector.
Note
If either LED is not lit, refer to Trouble Shooting on page 37.
15
If the 2000 RF Switch is being installed in slots 2 or 5 of the 7100M. If the 2000 RF Switch is
not being installed, then the 7000R can be placed in slots 1 - 6.
16
Fiber loss is defined as:
(0.4 dB/km x length (km) of the fiberoptic cable) + (0.5 dB x number of connectors).
For example if a link was 10 kilometers long and had two connectors the loss would be:
(0.4 dB/km x 10 km) + (0.5 dB x 2) = 5.0 dB.
A 6 dB loss is equivalent to a 4 times loss (i.e. 25% of original launched power)

10.2.3 Powering the IFL
Transmitter power requirement: 15VDC @ 200mA.
Receiver power requirement: 15VDC @ 270mA.
The Standalone Transmitter/Receiver is powered by a
user-supplied external DC power supply.
The Rackmount Transmitters/Receivers are plugged into the
rackmount chassis. The chassis can accept and power up to six
units.
Note
Appendix IV 7100M Chassis
At temperatures below -10
°
C, the Transmitter’s internal heater will
require an additional 100 mA. The Transmitter’s total power
requirement will then be 300 mA.
CAUTION
Ensure that there is a good airflow around the chassis
rackmount.
Note
By default the power supply is set to 230V (0.5A).
7100M Chassis
The 7100M Chassis provides power to the plug in units. The power
supply is a linear unregulated type. Each plug-in regulates its own
voltage. The power supply provides:
• 15 to 18 VDC (unregulated) @ 2.2 amps power
17
• AC input @ 110/220 VAC (user selected)
• Units can be plugged in “hot standby”
• An internal 5 amp fuse (refer to Appendix IV , page 49 for the
fuse part numbers)
Note
By default the power supply is set to 220V (0.5A).

7000S (Optional) Hot Standby Power Supply
For applications demanding the utmost in reliability and uptime, the
7000S standby power supply can be optionally plugged in to the
standard chassis. The 7000S features hot swapping - supplies may
be installed and removed even during operation. Each power supply
is fully redundant and can power a completely loaded chassis on its
own should its "partner" fail. During normal operation the two units
share the load by means of current steering diodes located on the
rear panel.

10.2.4 Connecting the Back Panel Jumpers
On the rear panel of the 7100M Back Panel are product connectors (JP1 to JP4). The 3 pin connectors (male) are the
connecting point between the slots and the back panel. One pin is for the Tx/Rx, one is for the 2000 RF Switch, and one is
for the 7100M. A 2 pin jumper (female) is placed on the relevant pins to complete the connection between the 7100M and
the units. For example, if a 2000 RF Switch is being used, the jumper is placed on the Switch-7100M pins.
To connect the jumpers:
1. Each jumper has two sets of pins, upper and lower. The upper pins are labeled SW (Switch) and the lower pins Tx/Rx
(Transmitter/Receiver).
2. If the 7100M has Tx or Rx units only, place all jumpers on the lower two pins.
