  • Page 8: Chapter 1 Overview

    Description The SPL 71 10-Exx transmitter is a compact plug-in module designed for use in the Harmonic HLP 4200 and 4800 equipment platform. An HMC 4001 module carrier is needed to mount the transmitter in the platform. Harmonic has optimized the SUPRALink family of transmitter modules for high-performance transmission of RF broadband information over optical fiber networks.
  • Page 9 Transmitter performance is optimized by combining state-of-the-art 1 550 DWDM distributed feedback (DFB) laser technology and patent pending, pre-distortion linearization circuitry. Harmonic has designed the SUPRALink family for integration into networks with advanced element management systems; each transmitter module employs a microprocessor-based communication and monitoring architecture.

    Applications Figure 1-2: SPL 7110-Exx block diagram The SPL 71 10-Exx transmitter is a compact plug-in module that mounts easily in Harmonic’s HLP 4200 and HLP 4800 platform via the HMC 4001 module carrier. For additional information on the HLP 4200 platform and HLP 4800 platform and its associated communication and power buses, see the HLP 4200 Instruction Manual or the HLP 4800 Users’s Guide.

  • Page 12 In multiwavelength applications, the launch power into the fiber and the total fiber distance may need to be limited and the analog content on each wavelength must be identical to avoid detrimental non-linear fiber optic effects. Consult your Harmonic applications engineer for more details.

For information on installing and using this system, consult the NETWatch Site Controller Instruction Manual.
  • Page 21: Chapter 4 Transmitter Setup

    How to set up via NETWatch Site Controller NOTE: For initial setup of the transmitter, Harmonic recommends using the HLP 4200 and HLP 4800 platform’s push buttons and display, if available. If you are using another platform (such as 4200ND) that does not have a display, the NETWatch Site Controller can be used for transmitter setup.
  • Page 22: Returning To Factory Settings

    Factory-Optimized Settings BER (bit error rate) performance Once the Harmonic factory optimizes a SPL 71 10- Exx transmitter, the factory settings are written into the transmitter’s memory. These settings allow the transmitter to achieve the optimal performance at factory setup for any model in the SPL 71 10- Exx series of transmitters.
  • Page 23: Fine-Tuning Each Transmitter

    The Autosetup feature enables you to quickly set the internal drive level to the laser as close as possible to the optimal value determined at the Harmonic factory. The transmitter operates in either the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) mode or the Manual Gain Control (MGC) mode.
  • Page 24: Automatic Gain Control And Manual Gain Control

    AGC, the input level to the transmitter laser remains at its previously established value. When you use AGC mode with the SPL 71 10- Exx, Harmonic recommends that you drive the transmitters 3 dB harder so that they can better compensate for the increased variation in the RF input signal.
  • Page 25: Setting Fiber Length

    Fine-Tuning the Transmitter The setup instructions described in Section 4.4.1. will normally bring the transmitter to optimal operating conditions. Harmonic recommends fine-tuning each transmitter to your specific requirements and preferences. If the factory-optimized RF level is not suitable for your particular application, you can use the following procedure to adjust the internal RF pad.

    5. Set the chirp compensation level by changing the fiber length setting to the value closest to the total fiber length traversed by the light from this transmitter. 6. If further adjustment is needed, change the input pad level via the NETWatch Site Controller. © 2009 Harmonic Inc. SPL 7110- Exx, Version 1.0, Rev A...

    5.1.1 Cleaning Patch Cord or Pigtail Fiber Optical Connectors To clean optical connectors, Harmonic recommends using a fiber optic connector cleaning cartridge (such as NTT Cletop). If a cleaning cartridge is not available, follow these steps. 1. Fold a piece of unused dry lens cleaning paper twice, for a four-ply thickness.
