Setting Up the Transmitter
Once you’ve installed the Diamond Transport transmitter
into the shelf and made the RF and optical connections, you
are ready to set up the transmitter by doing the following:
• activating the laser
• setting the transmitter in manual or AGC mode
WARNING
When powered, optical transmitters generate invisible,
high-energy laser beams. Even when the transmitter is not
powered, laser beams may be present in the optical cable.
These beams can cause tissue injury, including permanent eye
damage. Avoid direct contact with the end of optical cable or
optical output whenever optical cable is disconnected from
the transmitter, receiver or patch panel.
Tools and Equipment • a shelf-mounted Diamond Transport transmitter installed
in a link
• Phillips screwdrivers
• a spectrum analyzer or suitable substitute (such as a
field-strength meter)
• multimeter
• non-conducting alignment tool
