x OTS9100 User Manual

Getting Started

This chapter describes the preparation and initial setup of the OTS9100 module. Also provided is a list of standard and optional accessories for each of the individual cards.

Product Description

The Optical Test System OTS9100 Module set consists of a 10 Gb/s SONET/SDH transmitter and receiver. The transmitter consists of a high-speed OC-192c/STM-64c SONET/SDH digital signal generator feeding a 10 Gb/s fiber-coupled laser and modulator. It is capable of generating fixed and pseudo-random test patterns mapped into a set of sub-rate payloads or one full payload rate. The transmitter may also retransmit received 10 Gb/s signals with or without alarm and error insertion via intrusive through mode capabilities. Both transmitter and receiver support Unframed Mode. The transmitter supports flexible generation of alarms and errors at SONET and SDH levels (SONET Section, Line and Path; SDH Regenerator Section, Multiplex Section and Path).

The receiver consists of a high-speed 10 Gb/s (9.9532 Gb/s) optical receiver feeding an OC192c/STM-64c digital signal analyzer. The receiver supports both SONET and SDH (SONET Section, Line and Path; SDH Regenerator Section, Multiplex Section and Path) alarm and error detection and accumulation for subsequent software analysis with the ability to print out reports.

The standard OTS9100 module consists of one each of an OTS91L4, OTS91R2, OTS91T3 and OTS91C3 card. A mixed suite of optical cards provides the OTS9100 module with flexibility to test for different optical requirements.

The OTS91L4 Transceiver card is the standard optical card for this module. The OTS9100 module will accept any of the OTS optical cards as a replacement for the OTS91L4, expanding the range of the system to support different types of test analysis. The only requirement is that the optics card be placed in the first slot position within the OTS9100 module.

Optical card offerings consist of the following:

OTS91L4 Transceiver with 1550 nm or 1310 nm laser option

OTS91L5 Transmitter with 1550 nm or 1310 nm laser option

OTS91L6 Receiver Only

OTS91L7 Transceiver with External Laser Interface (does not include an internal laser)

OTS91L8 Transmit Only with External Laser Interface (does not include an internal laser)

First Operation

OTS9100 Installation

Before using the system, verify that it is properly set up and powered on, as follows:

1. Remove the unit from its shipping carton and place it on an anti-static surface.

2. Verify that the operating environment is within the limits detailed under the Environmental

Requirement section in this manual.

3. Allow approximately 2 inches (5 cm) clearance for cooling at the front and rear of the unit.

The fans draw air into the system from the front and exhaust the air through the rear of the OTS9000 chassis system or through the sides of the OTS9010 and OTS9040 chassis systems.

4. If the module cards are not already installed, perform the following steps:

CAUTION! When installing and removing cards from the chassis, power must not be present. Ensure that all power switches are in the OFF position and power cords are not installed before removing or installing cards. The chassis does NOT support hot-swap installations.

Getting Started

A. Remove the cards from the packaging, if necessary.

CAUTION! All OTS cards are static sensitive. When handling cards, ensure that personnel are properly grounded and OTS cards are always placed on anti-static surfaces. If proper precautions are not taken, damage will occur.

B. For those locations in which cards are being installed, remove the blanking panels and air

diverters.

C. Verify the required configuration of cards before proceeding. Carefully install each card

into a slot in the chassis. Make sure that the card is lined up and fits cleanly with the connectors into the backplane of the chassis.

CAUTION! Beware of bending the pins of the connectors when installing and removing cards from the chassis. Backplane connectors with bent pins will cause damage to both the card and the chassis.

To install the card, slowly slide the card into the desired slot. Make sure the card is lined up with the connectors and push down on the top release and up on the bottom release until the card snaps into place.

OTS9100 User Manual 1-7

Getting Started

When the card is in place, tighten the two screws to secure it.

CAUTION! Do not torque the screws with more than 2 in-lbs of force or damage will occur.

5. Verify that the power switch of the OTS chassis is in the OFF position.

6. Plug the unit into the appropriate AC Power source as follows:

Table 1-4: Power Requirements

AC Voltage Voltage Range Frequency Range

110 VAC 90 VAC - 132 VAC 48 - 62 Hz 220 VAC 180 VAC - 250 VAC 48 - 62 Hz

Removing Cards

To remove the OTS cards, perform the following steps:

1. Turn off the power.

2. Fully loosen the two screws found on the top and bottom of the card.

3. Push up on the top release and down on the bottom release until the card is released from the

connectors.

4. Carefully slide the card out of the slot.

NOTE: If a card is removed, a blanking panel and air diverter must be installed to ensure proper airflow through the system. Failure to replace the air diverter and blanking panel could cause the system to overheat.

Slot Positioning of OTS Cards

The slot in which each card is installed is very important to the proper operation of the instrument. Because of the user interface configurations, certain cards must be in specific slot positions in order to take advantage of features to operate correctly.

The OTS9100 module consists of a grouping of four cards. For every OTS9100 module group, the Optics card must be in the leftmost card or slot 1 (Does not apply to a multi-channel system). The Optics card must be followed by the Receive card in the second position, the Transmit card must be in the third position and the Clock Trigger card must always be in the right-most position or fourth position within the four card module grouping.

Multiple Modules

A module group may span the CPU in a multi-module system if necessary. The sequence of cards should continue from one side of the CPU slot(s) onto the other side. The CPU card(s) may interrupt the sequence physically but does not end the module group. Slot positioning with the CPU interrupting a sequence of cards will not affect the functionality of the OTS cards on either side of the CPU slot position(s). Empty slots, or slots containing non-Tektronix cards; effectively ‘end’ the module group.

Getting Started

When an OTS9100 10 Gb/s module and an OTS9200 Jitter module are loaded within the same chassis the slot positioning must start with the OTS9100 optical card positioned in the first position with the rest of the OTS9100 module loading sequentially as described above, the OTS9200 module must be adjacent to the OTS9100.

Through Mode operation is only supported when the module has been loaded into slots 1-4 of the chassis and only when the modules are installed in the following order:

• Optics card is in slot 1

• Receive card is in slot 2

• Transmit card is in slot 3

• Clock Trigger card is in slot 4

If cards are not installed in this order, “through mode” is not allowed as a Tx Signal Source.

NOTE: If the slot positioning rules are not followed, the module functions will be invalid. The transmitter and receiver functionality depends upon the absolute slot position and relative order of the cards.

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.

Getting Started

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.
