To display the SFP / SFP+ interface information follow these step sequence:
1. From the Home panel, go to RESULTS,
The test port results panel is displayed.
2. Select either Port A or Port B to enter in the port specific results.
3. Enter in SFP information and check the SFP present, Transceiver, Vendor, Model,
TX optical power, RX optical power and Wavelength.
For security reasons, the optical transmitter is not automatically enabled when the
equipment boots up. To switch the optical transmitter on, follow this procedure:
1. From the Home panel, go to CONFIG,
The port setup panel is displayed.
2. Select either Port A or Port B to enter in the port specific configuration.
3. Go to Physical to enter in the physical settings configuration panel.
4. Set Laser to On to enable the optical transmitter in the current port.
Note: It is recommended to switch the optical transmitter once the testing has fin-
ished.
Model If there is an SFP connected to the port, this field shows
information about the vendor.
This information is recorded within a memory in the SFP
when it is manufactured.
TX optical power In compatible optical SFPs, this field displays the currently
transmitted optical power expressed in dBm. Resolution for
this result is 0.1 dBm but real result accuracy depends on the
specific SFP module.
RX optical power In compatible optical SFPs, this field displays the currently
received optical power expressed in dBm. Resolution for this
result is 0.1 dBm but real result accuracy depends on the
specific SFP module.
Wavelength In optical SFPs, this field displays the nominal wavelength
used by the light source.
