903-0628-00 Rev. 1 Model 903-HD User's Guide – FMB-X-2.5 Backwards Compatibility The FMB-X-2.5 is not backwards compatible with the FMB-VTX, FMB-VRX or GLINK FMB-X cards. Both remote and console FMBs must be replaced with the FMB-X-2.5 when upgrading. All FMB-X-2.5 cards operate at 2.5 Gbaud on uplink (1310 nm) and downlink (1550 nm) and are compatible with existing video cards, data cards, and high speed racks.
903-0628-00 Rev. 1 Model 903-HD User's Guide – FMB-X-2.5 3.0 Fiber Multiplexers and Backplanes Fiber Multiplexer Boards (FMBs) are used to combine all of the video, Ethernet, and data signals into a single optical link and then regenerate the original copper signals at the other end of the system. Backplane cards are used to connect all of the Model 903 cards together within remote or console modules.
903-0628-00 Rev. 1 Model 903-HD User's Guide – FMB-X-2.5 LEDs on the front panel match those described in the console FMB-X-2.5 section and allow direct monitoring of the optical link status (LINK), optical receive power (FO-RX), and the status (STAT) of the on-board diagnostics.

Redundant ST fiber connectors are accessible as straight bushings on the front panel marked "F1" and "F2". An internal fiber switch chooses one of the fibers for the optical link, either automatically or manually via the front panel toggle switch.
903-0628-00 Rev. 1 Model 903-HD User's Guide – FMB-X-2.5 Description STAT (Status) LED is green when on-board diagnostic readings are within expected values. The STAT LED is orange (warning) if any of the on-board diagnostic readings are close to an alarm state.
903-0628-00 Rev. 1 Model 903-HD User's Guide – FMB-X-2.5 The FMB-X-2.5 also sounds a continuous audible alarm when an optical link fails in AUTO mode, even if the other fiber has a valid link. This informs the operator of a fiber fault that otherwise might not be noticed, as the switchover from one fiber to the other is often seamless.

The VIB-X video interface board is configured with four SMB video jacks on the front panel, per Figure 4-5. This 3U Eurocard is switch configured as either a video input card, used in the remote or subsea multiplexer module, or a video output card, used in the console or surface multiplexer module.
903-0628-00 Rev. 1 Model 903-HD User's Guide – FMB-X-2.5 4.2.1.2 Configuration Settings The VIB-X is configured as a remote (video input) or console (video output) using switch SW3, as shown in Figure 4-7 and Table 4-2. Circuit 1 is used to set the card as video input or output and circuit 2 is used for setting normal operation (mux mode, default) or for factory test options (test mode).
903-0628-00 Rev. 1 Model 903-HD User's Guide – FMB-X-2.5 Figure 4-7: VIB-X Plan View Fuses on the rails from the backplane provide over-current protection near the 96-pin DIN 41612 connector at the back of the card, per Figure 4-7. Fuse F1 is a 3A fuse on the +5 V supply rail and fuse F2 is a 1A fuse on the -12 V rail, which is used to generate -5 V on the board.

903-0628-00 Rev. 1 Model 903-HD User's Guide – FMB-X-2.5 Bench Test for Model 903 Systems BASIC LINK OPERATION (FMBs) 1. Basic operation of the uplink (remote to console) and downlink (console to remote) can be verified in a bench test simply by connecting the test jumper and the 10 dB attenuator supplied between a bushing on the remote FMB-X-2.5 turret and a bushing (F1 or F2) on the console FMB-X-2.5.
903-0628-00 Rev. 1 Model 903-HD User's Guide – FMB-X-2.5 Figure 6-6: Power Budget Test Setup – Link Threshold Measurement 3. Disconnect the end of the VOAT that is connected to the console FMB-X-2.5 and measure the optical power (P2) received (received sensitivity) by connecting that end of the VOAT to the optical power meter.
903-0628-00 Rev. 1 Model 903-HD User's Guide – FMB-X-2.5 The Model 903 diagnostics software is also helpful during bench testing. Presence of data errors on the program’s display screen may be used instead of the “Link” LEDs to determine the receiver thresholds. This provides a more accurate power budget, since as received power drops, errors occur in the data frames before synchronization is lost.
903-0628-00 Rev. 1 Model 903-HD User's Guide – FMB-X-2.5 Model 903 Board Handling The Model 903 includes several densely populated Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs). Although these boards are all conformally coated, care must still be taken while handling the boards to ensure the PCBAs are kept clean and free from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
