Chapter 1 Introduction What ships with your instrument? What ships with your instrument? The following items typically ship with the T-BERD ⁄ MTS 5800: – T-BERD ⁄ MTS 5800 unit – SFPs/XFPs — When you place your order, a customer service representative will let you know which transceivers are available from JDSU. Additional transceivers can be ordered separately for an additional charge. – Power adapter — A power adapter designed specifically for use with the T-BERD ⁄ MTS 5800 is included.
Chapter 1 Introduction Inspecting the components for damage When unpacking the components, verify that all the items you ordered are included in the package. Accessories may be shipped in a separate box. After you unpack the components, you should inspect them for damage. If undamaged, consider saving the box and packing materials in case you need to repackage the components for shipment. For information about shipping equipment, see Appendix B “Storage and Shipment” .
Chapter 1 Introduction Inserting an SFP or XFP transceiver – Use the SFPs that shipped with your unit, or SFPs on the list of JDSU supported optics (transceivers) that shipped with your instrument. The recommended optics are also available on your unit by selecting Help > Recommended Optics. These SFPs can be purchased from JDSU. – Verify that the transceiver and the connector support the same physical interfaces.
Chapter 1 Introduction Inserting an SFP or XFP transceiver b Ensure that the bale-clasp latch on the SFP is closed as illustrated in Figure 2. The bale-clasp latch handle should be on top of the SFP module. Figure 2 SFP transceiver with closed bail-clasp latch c With the SFP label facing away from you, align the SFP with the connector cage, and then gently but firmly insert the SFP until it is seated securely, indicated by an audible click, or by feeling the SFP snap into place.
Chapter 1 Introduction Removing an SFP or XFP transceiver NOTE: Although it is possible to insert an RJ-45 SFP into a SFP port on the T-BERD ⁄ MTS 5800, the instrument will issue an error message if this is done. Insert optical SFPs into the SFP ports. Use the fixed RJ-45 test ports for 10/100/ 1000 testing. The transceiver is inserted. Be certain to replace the rubber cover on the SFP or XFP when it is not in use.
Chapter 1 Introduction JDSU recommended SFPs and XFPs c Gently pull the cable connector from the transceiver. d Insert a dust plug into the open end of the transceiver. 2 Open the bail-clasp latch (as illustrated in Figure 3), and grasp the latch and pull gently upwards to remove the transceiver from the cage. Figure 3 SFP transceiver with open bail-clasp latch The transceiver is removed. Be certain to store it in an antistatic bag.
