Port
Connectors
The DAG 7.1S re has 4 SFP socket connectors. Each connector consists of
an optical fibre transmitter and receiver.
The upper connector of each pair is used for the transmit signal. These can
be connected to daisy-chain systems if you have facility loopback (fcl) set
on the card. You can also connect them if you are using a data generation
programme.
The bottom connector of each pair is used for the received signal.
There is an 8-pin RJ-45 socket located below the optical port connectors
on the car bracket. This is available for connection to an external time
synchronisation source.
Caution: Never connect an Ethernet network or telephone line to the
RJ-45 sockets.
Pluggable
Optical
Transceivers
Overview
The DAG7.1S card uses industry standard Small Form-factor Pluggable
(SFP] optical transceivers.
The transceivers consists of two parts:
•
Mechanical chassis attached to the circuit board
•
Transceiver unit which may be inserted into the chassis
Note: You must select the correct transceiver type to match the
optical parameters of the network to which you want t connect.
Configuring the card with the wrong transceiver type may damage
the card.
You can connect the transceiver to the network via LC-style optical
connectors .
For further information on Pluggable Optical Transceiver please refer to
