USB Connection to AMP-1030P Module and Initial Power-On
Although not required, it is recommended the AMP-1030P module not be connected to any optical
sources the first time it is powered on so proper operation of the LED indicator can be checked.
Keeping the dust caps on the two optical connectors (and once the GUI application has been
installed on a Windows computer) plug the included USB cable into the computer and into the
AMP-1030P module’s USB port. After a few seconds, the computer should indicate it recognizes
the module with the typical Windows USB connection sound. The LED on the top side of the
module should illuminate to a red color indicating that DC power is being supplied to the module
and that the optical power input is below the Loss-of-Signal (LOS) level. If the LED does not
illuminate, it is an indication that DC power is not being supplied to the module through the USB
port (or through the AC/DC power adapter). It should be noted that both the USB cable and the
AC/DC power adapter can be plugged into the AMP-1030P module simultaneously, an internal
diode-OR circuit will allow these two DC sources to share the power load.
Open the GUI application by clicking on the
Windows Start
icon,
All Programs
,
TPC
folder, and
finally the
AMP_10XXX
application. The GUI will open and the main menu window will display
and look similar to that shown in Figure 5.2-1. At this point the module is ready to be controlled
and an optical signal can be applied to the optical FC connector labeled “IN”. The amplified output
signal is available at the optical FC connector labeled “OUT”. Please go to paragraph 7.0 in order to
obtain more details regarding specific operation of the USB GUI application.
