GTS1063 and GTS1250 GBIC Test Systems Instruction Manual
Pressing the REM button enables rear panel TTL control of the Tx Pattern
selection and illuminates the front-panel REM indicator (if remote operation was
already enabled, pushing the button has no effect). The 3-bit logic combination
applied to the 3-bit interface (see Table 4) determines which pattern and
front-panel indicator are active when REM mode is active. A logic 1 in the table
represents a TTL high, and a 0 represents a TTL low. Any TTL signal that is not
driven is pulled high (logic 1) by internal pull-up resistors.

EXT (default when no signal is applied to the TTL bits)
External clock enable (active low) selects either the internal clock or the clock
supplied at the rear-panel external clock input. With no input to the enable pin
(EXT_CLK_ENA), the internal 10 k
W
pull-up resistor selects the internal clock.
Holding the enable pin at a TTL low selects the external 1.256 GHz for the
GTS1250 or 1.0625 GHz for the GTS1063 signal input at the rear-panel external
clock input (EXT_CLK). When the external clock is enabled, the front panel
EXT indicator blinks.
NOTE
. If you enable the external clock input, but do not supply an external clock
signal, the GBIC Test System will oscillate and have poor jitter.
Front panel lock (active low) controls whether front-panel controls are ignored.
If this pin is a TTL LOW, the Tx Pattern REM indicator blinks, the Tx Pattern is
selected by the remote selection code, and front-panel button presses are ignored.
When this pin goes HIGH, the REM indicator is illuminated (stops blinking), but
the front-panel buttons can control the transmit pattern. This pin is internally
pulled HIGH with a 10 k
W
resistor; the default, no connection, state allows the
front panel to control the transmit pattern.
