1 Product overview
The CONV-SFP-4 is a quad channel SFP converter that utilizes Nevion’s range of video and
GbE SFPs for flexible and cost efficient conversions.
The product can be configured with different hardware options enabling a large range of
electrical/optical conversions as well as signal conversion. All active components are placed
on the module that can be hot-swap replaced from the front. SFPs are hot-swap replaced
from the back. This ensures minimum service down time for upgrades or unit replacement.
The SFPs, module health and signal status is monitored and presented thru web or SNMP
interface with the Multicon control system when installed in the modular Flashlink frames.

limited to, example 1 and example 2 displaying two hardware SFP configurations.

3 Connections
The CONV-SFP-4 has a dedicated connector module; CONV-SFP-C1 and –C2. This module
is mounted at the rear of the sub-rack. The layout of the module is shown in the figure below.
Figure 2: Backplane connector module for CONV-SFP-4
Signal channels are fixed between SFPs:
SFP 1 and SFP 2 is connected together
SFP 3 and SFP 4 is connected together
3.1 Mounting the connector module
The details of how the connector module is mounted, is found in the user manual for the subrack frame FR-2RU-10-2.
This manual is also available from our web site: http://www.nevion.com
3.2 Terminal format support
The connector module can be fitted with four SFPs supporting both non-MSA and MSA
standard. All SFP ports can be used as input or output ports. Also, the connector module has
a RJ45 female connector for use of GPIO´s. The table below show which signal formats are
supported on the selected terminals.

3.3 GPI ALARM – Module Status Outputs
These outputs can be used for wiring up alarms for third party control systems. One GPI
output is open collector and the rest is bidirectional. The GPI connector is shown in figures

3.4 Status monitoring
3.4.1 Front Panel
The status of the module can be easily monitored visually by the LEDs at the front of the
module. The LEDs are visible through the front panel as shown in the figure below.

4 Configuration
Configuration of this card can either be done from Multicon GYDA element manager or locally
on the card by DIP switches.
4.1 Multicon GYDA configuration
Below is a snapshot from the Multicon GYDA interface.
Figure 5: Configuration tab example (varies with different SFP types)
Changing SFP type by hot-swap will trigger “Card lost” in Multicon GYDA so that
graphics and text blocks in both Status tab and Configuration tab is updated. The
module is not rebooted and will not interrupt other functions.

4.1.1 Bidirectional GPIOs
The GPIO functions are configurable by pre-defined schemes which can be chosen between
by the “GPIO setup selector” drop down menu as shown in Figure 5.
The different setups are described in the table below.

The correct configuration can either be set with the DIP switch on the card or through the
GYDA Control System. The layout is shown in the drawing below with the DIP switch to the
upper left position.

4.2.1 Selection of power supply
(Only DIP configurable)
The module can be configured to be powered from either +5 V or +15 V DC power rails with
DIP switch labeled “+15V”. This feature is useful to improve utilization of, or balancing the
available power in a system. The DIP switch must only be operated when the board is
unpowered to prevent instability. The configuration is set to +5 V default.
4.2.2 Copy backplane SFP port LEDs to Front panel LEDs
(Only DIP configurable)
At the backplane, the SFP cage has built-in LED indicators for each SFP port. To ease
inspection of these LEDs, it is possible to copy each SFP LED indicators to the Front panel
LEDs labeled “INFO 1” and “INFO 2” by configuration of DIP switch labeled “5” and “6”.

5 Operation
5.1 Module status
The status of the module can be monitored in three ways.
1. Multicon GYDA System Controller (optional).
2. GPI at the rear of the sub-rack.
3. LEDs at the front and back of the sub-rack.
Of these three, the GPI and the LEDs are mounted on the module itself, whereas the Multicon
GYDA System Controller is a separate module giving detailed information on the card status.
5.1.1 Multicon GYDA status interface
Figure 8: Status tab example (varies with different SFP types)
Changing SFP type by hot-swap will trigger “Card lost” in Multicon GYDA so that
graphics and text blocks in both Status tab and Configuration tab is updated. The
module is not rebooted and will not interrupt other functions.
The on-board temperature measurement is a feature used for monitoring
variations in temperature over time and can be accessed thru SNMP. The
absolute value of the temperature measurement has little value of its own as it
does not reflect the temperature inside the electronics nor the ambient frame
temperature.
