Introduction The FRM220-10G-3R is a multi-rate, up to 10G 3R optical regeneration device. The "3R" consists of Re-amplification, Re-shaping and Re-timing. The transponder card converts a data signal to the correct wavelength for transmission on a specific channel by supporting SFP+ optics on both line side and client side interfaces.
FX1 LB, FX2 LB, FX3 LB, FX4 LB Management Features The FRM220-10G-3R has an on-board 8 pole DIP Switch which can be used to configure the device for stand-alone operation when non- managed. When placed in a stand-alone chassis with DB9 console port, these devices also support a text based serial terminal with an easy to use menu system for configuration.
This converter card can be placed in 1-slot CH01, CH01M w/console, 2- slot CH02M w/console, CH02-NMC with NMC or the full 20-slot CH20 chassis.

Working Mode & Function Setting DIP Switch Pins Function Working Mode Setting Protection Auto-Revert Mode Non-Revert Dual Channel LFP Disable Mode LFP Enable Note: All of these settings are ignored if the card is placed in the FRM220-CH20 with NMC/SNMP management. The card will follow the settings done via the chassis management.
Connect the serial cable to the CH01M or CH02M's DB9. Run the terminal emulation program. When prompted with Password, enter “admin”. Then, press [Enter] to display the "Main Menu" screen.

Operation Select any of the menu items by keying in the menu item number or letter. Use the [ESC] to return to a previous menu. Any setting is immediately applied to the transponder's circuitry. After all of the parameter settings have been selected, press "s" from the main menu to save the parameters in non-volatile RAM (NVR).
Working Mode: Dual Channel In the CWDM/DWDM (Dual Channel) application, the 3R transponder acts as a fiber-to-fiber repeater and optical frequency converter between the client side equipment and the Optical Multiplexer/De-multiplexer. You can set the transponder to the protocol's data rate either by local DIP or through management. 10G-3R Mux/DeMux SFP 2 Client...

Auto-revert: When the Primary path is down, the working path will switch to the Secondary path. Once the Primary link is back, the working path will switch back to the Primary path. Non-revert: When the Primary path is down, the working path will switch to the Secondary path.
Loss Propagation or Link Fault Pass-through (LFP) is a method of forwarding a link loss from one media to the other over the transponder. LFP function of FRM220-10G-3R can support fault application of fiber interfaces under both Dual Channel and Protection mode.
8472. This feature is also known as digital optical monitoring (DOM) and gives the end user the ability to monitor real-time parameters of the SFP, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, etc. **************************************** CTC UNION TECHNOLOGIES CO.,LTD FRM220-10G-3R **************************************** Ver:[1.000-1.000-0.000-0.000] [CH-01M <<...
Loopback Testing (LBT) The loop back capability of the FRM220-10G-3R is useful for debugging a dysfunctional link, or when commissioning a site. In loopback mode, the signal is routed into the CDR circuitry and then routed back to the signal source. For example, in the following diagram, when the loopback function of SFP 1 is enabled, received traffic from the external testing equipment will be routed back the source device.

NMC Firmware Upgrading The FRM220-10G-3R card can also be firmware upgraded when it is placed in the FRM220 with NMC management card. The user may use a local console connection to the NMC, a remote Telnet (IP) connection, or a Web based (HTTP) connection with any available browser. The NMC communicates to all cards through a serial RS485 control bus.
DIP or through management. The rate setting is the only setting required. CWDM Transponder The FRM220-10G-3R functions primarily as a repeater or a media converter. As a repeater for long-haul applications, the signal is fully regenerated at the trunk. Clock Data Recovery (CDR) helps in reshaping, retiming, and regenerating (3R) the output signal at a number of pre- assigned frequencies or protocols.
