GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 1 FIO-1901-RT 3G/HD/SD Bi-Directional Fiber Optic to Electrical 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-RT. Both versions of the card (Rx/Tx, and Rx/Tx with WDM) are illustrated. Figure 1.1 Functional block diagram of the FIO-1901-RT 1.4 Front Card-edge Interface The front card-edge of the FIO-1901-RT incorporates two elements: Select Status LED (see section 3.1) Select Button (see section 3.2) Status • • FIO-1901-RT 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-RT 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-RT-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-RT card as follows: 1. Open the front panel of the frame. 2. Slide the FIO-1901-RT 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-RT-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 The FIO-1901-RT-SRP single-slot rear panel, mounted in a Densité 2 or Densité 3 frame, incorporates these connectors: • One socket for inserting a fiber transmitter/receiver SFP module – see the list of supported modules below. • One BNC connector for the 3G/HD/SD SDI input • One BNC connector for the 3G/HD/SD SDI output Figure 2.1 FIO-1901-RT-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-RT, and is visible through the front access door of the DENSITÉ frame. This multi-color LED indicates the status of the FIO-1901-RT by color, and by flashing/steady illumination. The chart shows how the various error conditions that can be flagged on the FIO-1901-RT 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 Output Configuration Normally, the optical output is connected to the electrical input. However, this menu item allows the user to select the optical input as the source. In this configuration, the FIO-1901-RT will extract the signal and place it on its electrical output, and then send the optical signal out to another destination. Optical Tx [ELECTRICAL IN, Optical Rx] This option exists in the WDM version, but is of little practical use. 3.2.3.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.3 Remote control using iControl The operation of the FIO-1901-RT may be controlled using Miranda’s iControl system. • • This manual describes the control panels associated with the FIO-1901-RT and their use. Please consult the iControl User’s Guide for information about setting up and operating iControl. In iControl Navigator or iControl Websites, double-click on the FIO-1901-RT icon to open the control panel. 3.3.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION The table below lists the various status icons that can appear, and how they are to be interpreted. • In cases where there is more than one possible interpretation, read the error message in the iControl window to see which applies. Table – iControl Status Icon interpretation Icon #1 – Manual Card Configuration Remote card control activated.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.3.2 The Status panel This panel reports the status of this FIO-1901-RT card, its rear panel, its SFP module, and the signals arriving at the electrical inputs on the rear panel. OPTICAL IN and ELECTRICAL IN • • Shows the incoming data rate when a signal is successfully received (green icons) Identifies No Signal or No Lock conditions (red icons) Rear Type – the data box identifies the rear panel installed in the Densité frame for this FIO-1901-RT.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.3.4 The Output & Optical panel Output Config Manually select the source for the optical output; either the optical receiver or the electrical input. • Normally, the optical output is connected to the electrical input. This panel allows the user to select the optical input as the source. In this configuration, the FIO-1901-RT will extract the signal and place it on its electrical output, and then send the optical signal out to another destination.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.3.6 The Alarm Config panel This panel allows the alarm reporting of the FIO-1901-RT to be configured. Click on the Alarm Config button to open the Alarm Configuration window. The Alarm Configuration window is organized in columns Figure 3.8 Alarm Configuration panel Status/Name This contains an expandable tree listing all the alarms reported by this FIO-1901-RT card.

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.
