Figure 2–5 Receiver Front Panel
Receiver Connectors, Front Panel
The front panel has three input connectors (Figure 2–5). On the lower left side of the receiver
section is an industry standard FC/PC optical output connector. ST and SC connectors are
available as options. The maximum input is –10 dBm. The optical output key is used to switch
between OC-1, OC-3, and OC-12 input signals—three yellow LEDs indicate which is selected.
On the lower right side of the receiver front panel is a 75 ohm input connector, either a WECO
560 or a BNC, and a 100 ohm input connector, either bantam or WECO 310. The STSX-1 or
DSX-3 signal can be applied to the 75 ohm input. The DSX-1 signal can be applied to the 100
ohm input.
Input Key, Receiver
The receiver INPUT select key and four associated yellow LED indicators are on the
lower right side of the receiver front panel (Figure 2–5). The key is used to select between the
STSX-1, DSX-3, DSX-1 and MON (monitor) inputs. The monitor input accepts a low level input
from a network element’s monitor (MON) output. The INPUT LCD menu, detailed in
Chapter 3
LCD Menus and Displays
, provides the four selections. Both the STSX/DSX and MON LEDs are
illuminated when the monitor mode is selected.
