GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 1 FIO-1901-TT 3G/HD/SD Electrical to Fiber Optic Converter 1.1 Introduction The FIO-1901 series are flexible serial digital video To/From Fiber Optic converters for the Densité frames. The FIO1901 series are designed for SD, HD and 3G serial video as well as compressed bit-streams (DVB-ASI). The series supports any data rate within the range of 19.4 Mbps to 2.97 Gbps and provides a reclocked serial digital video from 270Mbps to 2.97 Gbps.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 1.3 Block Diagram The following block diagrams show the functionality of the FIO-1901-TT. Both versions of the card (Dual Tx, and Dual Tx with WDM) are illustrated. Figure 1.1 Functional block diagram of the FIO-1901-TT 1.4 Front Card-edge Interface The front card-edge of the FIO-1901-TT incorporates two elements: Select Status LED (see section 3.1) Select Button (see section 3.2) Status • • FIO-1901-TT Select Button Status LED Figure 1.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 2 Installation Miranda Densité-series cards are each associated with a rear connector panel, which must be installed in the Densité frame before the card can be inserted. The FIO-1901-TT card is sized to fit into Miranda’s Densité-2 frame. One rear connector panel is available to fit the Densité 2 frame: • FIO-1901-TT-SRP – 1 fiber input and 2 electrical outputs See section 2.1 below for installation instructions.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Installing the card Once a matching rear connector panel has been installed, install the FIO-1901-TT card as follows: 1. Open the front panel of the frame. 2. Slide the FIO-1901-TT card into the slot with the swivel handle at the top, and push gently on the handle to seat the connectors. 3. Close the front panel of the frame. 2.2 Installation in a Densité-3 Frame All cards and rear panels can be installed with the frame power on.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Rear adapter: The FIO-1901-TT-SRP rear panel requires the following adapter for use in a Densité-3 frame: DENSITE SRP-3RU Installing the adapter and connector panel Install the adapter and the rear panel as follows: 1. Position the adapter at the top of the empty slot on the rear of the frame. 2. Use the captive screw in the adapter to fasten it securely in position. 3.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 2.3 Rear Connector Panel The FIO-1901-TT-SRP single-slot rear panel, mounted in a Densité 2 or Densité 3 frame, incorporates these connectors: • One socket for inserting a fiber transmitter SFP module – see the list of supported modules below. • Two BNC connectors for the 3G/HD/SD SDI inputs. Figure 2.1 FIO-1901-TT-SRP Rear Panell 2.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3 Operation 3.1 Card-Edge Status LED The status monitor LED is located on the front card-edge of the FIO-1901-TT, and is visible through the front access door of the DENSITÉ frame. This multi-color LED indicates the status of the FIO-1901-TT by color, and by flashing/steady illumination. The chart shows how the various error conditions that can be flagged on the FIO-1901-TT affect the LED status.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION The local control panel is fastened to the controller card by a hinged connector, and when installed is located in the front center of the frame, positioned in front of the power supplies. The panel consists of a display unit capable of displaying two lines of text, each 16 characters in length, and five pushbuttons. CONTROLLER The panel is assigned to operate any card in the frame by pushing the SELECT button on the front edge of that card.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.2.3.1 Fail Over When Failover mode is activated, the FIO-1901-TT is configured with Electrical In A as the source for both outputs, and Electrical In B as the backup. If Electrical In A fails, the outputs will be switched over to Electrical In B (if it is valid), after a defined delay. The delay can be set between 0 and 15 seconds, in order to accommodate deliberate or anticipated breaks in the input data stream.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION For each alarm, select how it will be displayed on the card-edge Status LED. Alarm level: [GREEN, YELLOW, RED, FLASH RED] For each alarm, select whether it will be reported on the GPI output of the frame controller. Alarm report: [NONE, GPI] 3.3 Remote control using iControl The operation of the FIO-1901-TT may be controlled using Miranda’s iControl system. • • This manual describes the control panels associated with the FIO-1901-TT and their use.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 1. The top section displays icons on the left. These icons report the status of some parameters associated with this FIO-1901-TT. Figure 3.3 shows the three icons that appear. Move the mouse over an icon and a status message appears below the icon providing additional information. If there is an error, the error status message appears in the message area without mouse-over.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Section 2. The left portion of the window contains access buttons for all the parameter groups, which become highlighted when they are selected; the main panel (3) then displays the group’s set of parameters. Each of the groups is described in detail below. Section 3. The main panel contains all the parameters specific to the group selected.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.3.3 The Reclocker panel Use the radio buttons to enable reclocking of the video data stream on each of the electrical inputs independently. The reclocker operates at the video standard rates of SD (270 Mbps), HD (1.485 Gbps), and 3G (2.97 Gbps): ON – reclock the data before passing it to the output BYPASS – pass the data stream through without reclocking Figure 3.5 Reclocker panel 3.3.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.3.5 The Fail Over panel When Fail Over mode is activated, the FIO-1901-TT is configured with Electrical In A as the source for both outputs, and Electrical In B as the backup. If Electrical In A fails, the outputs will be switched over to Electrical In B (if it is valid), after a defined delay. The delay can be set between 0 and 15 seconds, in order to accommodate deliberate or anticipated breaks in the input data stream.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.3.7 The Alarm Config panel This panel allows the alarm reporting of the FIO-1901-TT to be configured. Click on the Alarm Config button to open the Alarm Configuration window. The Alarm Configuration window is organized in columns Figure 3.9 Alarm Configuration panel Status/Name This contains an expandable tree listing all the alarms reported by this FIO-1901-TT card.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION • If the Overall alarm contribution is selected as Disabled, the GSM alarm contribution can be set to any available value • If the Overall alarm contribution is selected as any level other than disabled, the GSM contribution is forced to follow the Overall Alarm.

GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3. Slide the module straight into the socket, and push gently until it clicks into position. Connecting the fiber optic cables 1. Remove the dust plug from the SFP module if present 2. Verify that both the exposed end of the optical fiber in the LC connector and the fiber stub within the SFP module are clean • Carefully remove any debris if necessary – see the note below. 3.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Removing the fiber optic cables 1. Grasp the LC fiber optic connector that is plugged into the SFP module, and pull it straight out to disengage the optical fiber from the SFP. • Never pull the fiber optic cable itself, as catastrophic damage may occur. 2. Insert a dust plug into the SFP module. Removing the SFP module 1. Move the bale clasp lever to the open position. 2. Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and forefinger, and pull it straight out of the slot.
