1.1 Product Overview
Various plug-in modules (hereinafter, referred to as “module”) can be
installed into the MT1810A, to support research, development and
production of module devices for the optical communication market or
interconnection within a Gbit/s class high-speed device. The MT1810A
is also useful for research and development for the next-generation
communication market, including optical packet transmission.
Up to 4 modules can be installed into the MT1810A. For the
MU181020A 12.5 Gbit/s PPG and MU181040A 12.5 Gbit/s ED, among the
installable modules, the number of controllable modules can be increased
to 2 or 4 by selecting an optimal option to the MT1810A. As a way of
reducing cost, the display and control parts have been omitted from the
MT1810A, which is then controlled by the MX180000A Signal Quality
Analyzer Control Software installed in the external control PC. Remote
control by the control PC can also be performed via the GPIB or LAN
interface.
For the latest information on the modules that can be mounted on the
main unit, refer to the Anritsu homepage (http://www.anritsu.com).

2.1 Measures Against EOS and ESD
This section describes how to prevent MT1810A from being damaged by
electrical over-stress (EOS) or electrostatic discharge (ESD).
2.1.1 How to use the GND connection cable
There is a risk of damaging MT1810A due to EOS if MT1810A and other
peripheral equipment (including experimental circuits) are not connected
to the common ground.
When connecting MT1810A and other peripheral (including experimental
circuits), connect other peripheral equipment to the ground terminal of
MT1810A’s chassis with the GND connection cable before connecting the
I/O connectors.

2.1.2 How to use the ESD Discharger
There is a risk of damaging MT1810A if the coaxial cable you connect to
MT1810A is charged electrostatically.
To prevent MT1810A from being damaged by ESD, remove electrostatic
charges from the cable by using the ESD Discharger before cabling the
connectors.
The ESD Discharger can be used with one of SMA connector (and its
compatible connector) and V connector (and its compatible connector).

Mainframe ID
Used to identify the MT1810A units when multiple (up to 4) MT1810A
units are connected. Refer to “MT1810A 4 Slot Chassis Installation
Guide” for details on 4-unit serial connection.

Ethernet connectors
Two RJ45 Ethernet connectors are provided. A 10 BASE-T or a 100
BASE-
TX cable can be used. The internal hub provides the same
function to the two connectors. In addition to direct connection, the
control PC can be connected to the MT1810A via an Ethernet interface
device. Note that the IP address for the MT1810A is fixed, so it
cannot be directly connected to a network.
Each connector has two LEDs. Th
e left one indicates the Link/Act
status. The connector is in Link status when the left LED is on, No
Link status when it is off, and Act status when it blinks. The right
LED indicates the collision status. When it is off, collision is not
detected. It blinks when collision is detected.
