Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide 1.5 General Safety 1.5.1 Cautions and Warnings Disconnect all power from electronic devices before servicing. Some equipment may have multiple power cords requiring disconnection. 1.5.2 Laser Safety WARNING: Fiber optic equipment may emit laser or infrared light that can injure your eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume that fiber optic cables are connected to a laser light source.
Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide 1.5.3 Laser Device Classifications Laser devices of class 1M, class 2, class 2M and class 3R Precautionary measures are only necessary to avoid a permanent direct looking into the laser beam; for classes 2 and 2M is a momentary (0.25 sec.) irradiation in a wave length range between 400 nm and 700 nm, as it may occur when you accidentally look into the beam, not considered to be dangerous. However, you should not level the laser beam intentionally at people.
Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide 1.5.4 Static Electricity Eliminate static electricity in the workplace by grounding operators, equipment, and devices including components and computer boards. Grounding prevents static charge buildup and electrostatic potential differences. Transporting products in special electrostatic shielding packages reduces electrical field damage potential. 1.5.5 Workplace Preparation A safe and effective workplace provides the following items.

Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide 2 Introduction to EM316EDFA Optical Amplifiers The fiber optic amplifier module is used to increase an optical signal for extended range or clarity without electrical conversion circuitry. The MRV EM316EDFA modules boost an optical input up to 20 decibels. The amplifier also has a bandwidth of 40 nm, making it suitable for use in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) applications as an optical spectral amplifier.
Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide 2.1 Features The EM316EDFA board can run in standalone mode without any input from a management module. The EM316EDFA analog input power determines the output power because the module runs at a fixed gain. EM316EDFA status is reported through SNMP through a network management module as well as by LEDs on the front panel. The green “SD” LED on the front panel indicates input greater than the thresholds corresponding to the EDFA module type, as indicated in the table below.
Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide 3 Preparation and Installation 3.1 Unpacking the Fiber Driver Module Follow these steps with reference to the figure below. Step 1. Open the cardboard box Step 2. Remove the static bag containing the device. Step 3. Check for additional accessories in the box that may move beneath the module tray during transit. In the unlikely event that any package content is missing, contact an authorized MRV dealer or representative.

There are no user-selectable switches.
Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide 3.5 Module Installation EM316xx cards are hot-swappable in a powered Fiber Driver chassis. Install the EM316xx module by aligning the edge of the card with the rail of the chassis slot. Hand-tighten the thumb screw. Do not over-tighten. The thumb screw is on the left when installed in the BU-1, BU-2, BU-3, and BU-4 chassis. The thumb screw is on the bottom when installed in the BU-16 chassis. 3.5.1.1.
Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide Step 2 Install the module into a Fiber Driver chassis by aligning the edge of the card with the rail of the chassis. Tighten the thumbscrew by hand. Figure 5 -- Module installation (not all chassis are shown) Handle modules by the edges to avoid damaging any components. Follow all ESD precautions listed at the front of this manual. Use your thumb to push the module securely into the chassis slot.
Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide 4 EDFA Features While operating correctly in an appropriate environment, EM316EDFA optical amplifier modules require minimal operator intervention. However, because these devices are critical to network infrastructure, administrative monitoring of these devices is essential for early fault detection. EM316EDFA modules report simple status visually with front panel LEDs.

Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide 5 Module Management Most Fiber Driver modules, including the EDFA amplifier family, may be managed by a Fiber Driver network management (NM) module installed in the same chassis. The EDFA amplifier modules may be managed by the EM316LNXNM-OT Network Management (NM) module. The NM module installs in the same chassis as the managed modules. It provides management for the EDFA amplifier module and other compatible Fiber Driver modules resident in the chassis.
Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide 5.1 Serial Console Interface After the network management (NM) module is installed, power up the chassis and attach the serial RS-232 cable to the PC or terminal device. Configuring terminal emulation software on the PC is beyond the scope of this document. The components below may be ordered from MRV.
Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide 5.2 EM316LNXNM-OT Command Line Interface (CLI) The EM316LNXNM-OT provides command line interface (CLI), SNMP, and graphical administration options for a Fiber Driver chassis system. This section introduces the CLI for the Linux-based network management (EM316LNXNM-OT) module. EM316LNXNM-OT management commands are specific to each module.
Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide 5.2.1 EM316LNXNM-OT Boot and CLI Login The box below shows the NM boot and login to the built-in admin user account. The “banner” information that displays after the login may also be displayed from the CLI prompt with the show version command. The show command is introduced in a later section. Refer to EM316LNXNM-OT documentation for network manager and CLI configuration help. U-Boot 1.0.
Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide 5.2.2 CLI Navigation The CLI uses five operational contexts: login, configuration, chassis, slot, and port. Only the login context is not considered a configuration mode. The system prompt includes a string to indicate the current operational context, as illustrated in the example below. The “#” character ends the prompt string, and a space separates the command from the prompt. Each navigation command in the box below is bold for emphasis in print only.
Fiber Driver® EM316EDFA User Guide 5.2.3 Login Context Commands and Examples The login context refers to the only CLI state not considered a configuration context. Commands in this context are generally for system status monitoring. Use the “?” and “list” commands at the fiberdriver # prompt to display the list of command line options. These help commands are shown in the slot and port command illustrations later in this section. A few login context commands are illustrated in this section. 5.2.3.
