Introduction 

Unit Functional Schematic 

The 

AMG3608BERN-DR-SF 

transmits and receives optical 
signals from both a primary and a 
secondary optical channel.  
 
The two optical channels are 
transmitted on the same optical fibre 
in opposite directions, operating at 
different wavelengths. The primary 
channel operates on 1550nm and 
the secondary channel on 1310nm. 

 

 
The 

AMG3608BERN-DR-SF

 receives and drops off data, contact closure & Ethernet signals 

transmitted from up to eight 

AMG3603B5E-DR-SF

 transmit units. It then inserts data, contact closure 

& Ethernet signals onto the outgoing optical signal 
 
As each unit regenerates the optical signal, the optical dynamic range between each optically 
connected node is 17dB. 
 
 

 

Data Channel Configuration 

At the 

AMG3603B5E-DR-SF

 or rackmount 

AMG3603B5ER-DR-SF 

insert unit, "B" channel data can 

be inserted on one to eight "B" data channels transmitted on the optical fibre. The "B" data channel 
number of each insert unit is set by the rotary switch on the front panel of the unit. 
 
It is normal to set each insert unit to a different channel number. If the same number is used twice, an 
insert unit connected 'down stream' on the primary optical route will 'over-write' any coincident data 
channel coming from the previous insert unit and those data signals will be lost. 
 
The switch channel numbers 1 to 8, correspond to data channels 1-8. Unused switch channel 
numbers 0 & 9 duplicate data channel selections 1 & 8 respectively. i.e. setting switch to position 0 or 
1 selects data channel 1 and setting switch to position 8 or 9 selects channel 8.
