Application
LDx00 is applied as a campus, access, or MAN solution for high-speed concurrent transfer of
data, voice, and video of different bandwidths and protocols on a single pair of fibers. For various
application configurations, refer to
Chapter 2 Applications. S
ingle-fiber cables can be used for full-
duplex operation by allocating two channels (pair of
virtual
fibers).
Installation
The LDx00 is installed simply by
plugging
it into
existing
infrastructures.
Operation
Operation is autonomous once the LDx00 is powered on.
The operation status can be monitored on the Front Panel LEDs or with management tools
described in the section
Management
The LDx00 can be custom set up and managed with any one or more of the following:
•
MRV’s Web-based network management application
MegaVision
®
•
MRV’s
MegaVision Configurator
and
Demo
.
MegaVision Configurator is a fully featured MegaVision Web-based element manager for
configuring and monitoring a single device in a real network environment. MegaVision
Demo is a comprehensive simulator of the MegaVision real-device network management
application. To run this application, no password is required.
The Configurator can be downloaded for free from:
/support/tech_data/MegaVision/mvconf
•
SNMP NMS
•
MIB browser
•
TELNET station
•
Craft terminal (asynchronous ASCII terminal, e.g., VT100 terminal or emulator).
Architecture
LDx00 is architectured as a scalable system that can be expanded and enhanced simply by
inserting pluggable modules.
The basic LDx00 consists of a chassis and the following modules: Mux and Demux (1 each) or
OADM (1); Transponders (1 per virtual fiber); Power Supply (1).
LDx00 can be scaled up by inserting the following modules: Additional Transponders (up to 4 for
LD400 and 8 for LD800); ESCONs (1 per physical or virtual fiber), Management (1); Service (1);
1+1 Protection (1); OA
(1 or 2); GM2 Gigabit Ethernet Multiplexers (1 per physical or virtual
fiber), Redundant Power Supply (1).
The chassis and modules are described in the section
4
Each OA module can increase the operating distance by roughly 30 km (20 mi), depending on
the fiberoptic cable attenuation.
