Operation

Additional Controls and Configurations

The following subsections describe additional features of the GX2-EA1000C*/*.

Optical Output Control

You can turn the optical output power from the laser diode ON and OFF using the local
interface port, the network management system, or the optional SDU. The factory
default setting is ON.

RF Drive Level Control

You can turn the RF drive level to the laser diode ON and OFF. The factory default
setting is ON.
When using the optical output or RF drive level ON/OFF controls, the following actions
ensure that the laser is not damaged:
•
If you turn the optical output power OFF, the RF drive level to the laser is
automatically turned OFF and the RF drive level control is disabled.
•
If the RF drive level to the laser is ON when you turn the optical output power OFF,
it comes on automatically when the optical output power is restored.
•
If the RF drive level to the laser is OFF when you turn the optical output power OFF,
it remains off when the optical output power is restored.

Quick Swap

The quick-swap feature reduces down time by eliminating the need to manually
reconfigure replacement application modules of the same type in the same housing slot.
Replacement modules are recognized and updated with settings pre-stored by the GX2-
CM100B control module. This feature is particularly useful in the event of module failure.
The following module-specific parameters are contained in the quick-swap message sent
from the GX2-CM100B to the GX2-EA1000C*/*:
